Ingredients

HOMEMADE CHOCOLATE SYRUP:

  • 1 cup filtered water
  • ¾ cup organic cocoa powder (You can also use cacao powder)
  • ½ cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Pinch of ground cinnamon
  • Pinch of sea salt

LATTE:

  • ½ cup cold brew
  • 1 ½ cups Oat milk, homemade or store-bought (You can use your favorite plant-based milk; See Notes!)
  • 3 Tbsps chocolate syrup, homemade or store-bought
  • Ice cubes
  • Coconut Whipped cream
  • Chopped chocolate, optional (Ensure that chocolate is dairy-free or vegan)

Instructions

TO MAKE THE CHOCOLATE SYRUP:

  • In a saucepan over medium-high heat, add together all ingredients (whisking them to combine) and bring to a boil, about 1-2 minutes. Once fully combined and smooth, remove from heat and let cool.

TO MAKE THE LATTE:

  • To serve, fill ice into a 12 or 16-ounce glass and pour in the milk followed by the cold brew, 3 Tbsps of the homemade chocolate syrup, stirring them together until the mixture becomes a brown "chocolatey" color. Top with coconut whipped cream and chopped chocolate, if desired.
  • Sip and enjoy!

Notes

  • WHAT PLANT-BASED MILKS ARE GOOD FOR THIS RECIPE? My go-to plant-based brand for oat milk when using store-bought is the Forager Project. However, you can always use your fave or one of the following: Almond, coconut milk, homemade oat milk (froths/foams VERY WELL), homemade cashew milk, flax milk, potato milk, etc.
  • STORAGE (CHOCOLATE SYRUP): Leftover chocolate syrup can be stored in a tightly sealed mason jar for up to two weeks. When ready to use, simply reheat sauce in the microwave for a few seconds.
  • VEGAN OPTION: To ensure that this drink is entirely vegan, be sure to use vegan-friendly ingredients (i.e. chocolate, etc.).
