DIY Mocha Ice Cubes

This Caffinated Ice Cube Recipe is the Secret to Perfect Summer Coffee Drinks

Resident food editor and co-founder of 'The Girls on Bloor' Taylor Stinson reveals three indulgent summer coffee recipes made with mocha ice cubes. The three summer coffee flavors include iced caramel machiatto, iced vanilla latte and a decadent iced mocha.

The secret to these caffeinated summer sippers is the mocha ice cubes that provide an extra boost of energizing caffeine. To make these mocha cubes, start by microwaving two tablespoons of chocolate chips combined with one single teaspoon of heavy cream or milk. When this is all melted, add in half a cup of freshly brewed coffee and pour into ice cubes trays.

These decadent coffee-infused ice cubes are the perfect addition to any summer coffee drink. They were created to enhance the three iced coffee drinks outlined on The Girls on Bloor's blog, but they can also be used in other sweet beverages.
