Frequently asked questions – FAQ

How to store this chocolate sauce for coffee

You can store this in a mason jar in the fridge for up to 2 weeks. I like to also place it in a squeeze bottle that has a cap for easy usage as well.

To store this for longer, you can pour about 2-3 tablespoons in an ice cube tray ad freeze until solid. Transfer to an airtight container and freeze for up to 3 months. Pop an ice cube in hot coffee to melt it and enjoy a delicious mocha drink in no time.

To make that at home, all you need is

To make it, stir the mocha sauce and the coffee at the bottom of the glass.

Top the drink with the frother milk mixture, top with whipped cream, and shaved chocolate, and enjoy!

    Absolutely delicious! I’ve made hot lattes, iced lattes, and cold brews with this syrup. Very money saving too, especially considering how much $$$ I spend on premade syrups and getting coffee from shops. Thank you for this!
