Equipment

Coffee maker
Blender

Ingredients

1 ½ cups brewed coffee cooled
2 cups milk of choice dairy or non-dairy
2 tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder
¼ cup sweetener I used a sugar free zero calorie sweetener like Swerve

Instructions

Fill two tall glasses with ice and add coffee.
In a jar combine milk, cocoa powder, and sweetener.
Use an immersion blender to blend until smooth. Alternatively, process in a blender until smooth.
Pour over the coffee and serve cold.

Notes

Note: Carbohydrate count does not include the sugar alcohols in Swerve.

Variations:

Add ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
For a creamier latte, add 3 tablespoons of coconut cream.
You can substitute any sweetener you like - including maple syrup or honey.
Add 1 tablespoon MCT oil and a scoop of collagen powder to turn this into breakfast.
Add 2 drops good quality peppermint essential oil or a teaspoon of peppermint extract.

Tips:

Instead of using ice that can water down your drink, plan ahead and make coffee ice cubes! It is a great way to use leftover coffee, and also ensures that you get a bold coffee taste.
This recipe makes two servings. If you are just making it for yourself you can go ahead and make both servings and store one in a mason jar in the fridge. Then when you are ready to enjoy simply shake, add ice if desired, and drink from the jar with a straw. (While I use paper straws for photos, for everyday use I like stainless reusable straws.)
