Instructions
Make the Homemade White Chocolate Syrup
In a saucepan over low heat, combine the white chocolate chips and heavy cream or milk. Stir continuously until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
Remove from heat, add the vanilla extract, and mix well until well combined. Allow the syrup to cool slightly; it will thicken as it cools.
Make the Iced White Chocolate Mocha
Make the espresso or strong brewed coffee and let it cool.
In a glass filled with ice, combine the cooled espresso with 2-3 tablespoons of the homemade white chocolate syrup. Mix well.
Pour in your choice of milk and mix until combined. Add a generous dollop of whipped cream on top and sprinkle chocolate shavings or a few white chocolate chips.
Stir the iced white chocolate mocha before drinking, and enjoy the delicious combination of flavors!
