Make a straight caramel mocha or plump for a salted caramel mocha using this recipe. It's quick, easy to customise to your own levels of sweetness & saltiness and far cheaper than buying at a coffee shop.

Calories: 203kcal
Ingredients
- 75 ml Espresso coffee brewed using 15-18g espresso powder
- 150 ml Whole milk or non-dairy milk of your choice
- 20 ml Caramel syrup
- 5 g Dark chocolate 72% cocoa solids
- ½ teaspoon cocoa powder
- ¼ teaspoon Sea salt flakes optional
Instructions
- Put the milk, caramel syrup, chocolate, cocoa powder and sea salt (if using) into a small pan, heat the ingredients in a saucepan until streaming (aim for 70C/ 140F and do not allow the milk to boil).
- Brew the espresso coffee using 18g espresso powder to pull 75ml of espresso coffee and pour it into the chocolate caramel milk.
- Pour your caramel mocha into a warmed serving mug or glass and garnish as desired before serving immediately.
Notes
-
- Warm your coffee cup/ mug/ glass so that the caramel mocha is a lovely temperature when served.
- Do not allow the milk to heat beyond 70C/ 140F as it will turn the coffee bitter.
- The amount of caramel syrup used can be varied but keep in mind that adding more will sweeten the drink as well as increasing the caramel flavour.
- If this is the first time you are making this caramel mocha recipe and you decide to include sea salt start with ⅛ teaspoon of sea salt, taste your mocha and add in an extra ⅛ teaspoon of salt if desired.
- Use your favourite non-dairy milk in place of cow's milk. Oat is my top choice.
- Try this recipe using 10g of dark chocolate and omitting the cocoa powder.
- Alternatively try this drink using 1 teaspoon of cocoa powder and omitting the dark chocolate
- Follow step one in the instructions above but use only half of the milk.
- Fill a large glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the remaining cold milk into the glass, add the brewed espresso coffee and top up with the warmed chocolate caramel milk mixture.
- Serve your iced caramel mocha straight away with or without a swirl of cream and garnishes.
