Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled), or 1–2 shots espresso + 1/2 cup cold water

- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions

- Add the milk, chocolate syrup, and sugar or sweetener.
- Stir vigorously for 15–20 seconds until well combined.

Notes
For a less diluted drink, consider making coffee ice cubes using cooled coffee. If using espresso, reduce the coffee volume to maintain balance.
