Pinned this...made that! Iced Mocha

I don't actually like coffee. I hate wasting food - even food I don't like, apparently.

Nathan said it needed more coffee so the next time instead of 3.5 cups milk and 3.5 cups of coffee I used 3.5 cups of milk and 4 cups of coffee. After letting the coffee simmer in with the cocoa for a few minutes (2ish minutes with a little stirring) I let it sit and cool and then transferred it to a pitcher in the fridge. He whisks it again in the morning and pours it over ice in his travel mug. He didn't make any comment about it the second time around, so I figured it tasted good to him.
