• White chocolate sauce
  This is the sauce that turns a latte into a white chocolate mocha. The white chocolate sauce sweetens and flavors the drink.

  Use filtered water to make ice if possible.

Using a Nespresso

Espresso is in an Iced White Mocha and the easiest way to make espresso at home is in a Nespresso.

1 shot of espresso = 1 Nespresso espresso capsule

In this grande sized drink, there are 2 shots of espresso, which means you’ll need 2 Nespresso espresso capsules or 1 double espresso capsule.

You can use any of your favorite Nespresso espresso capsules or Starbucks for Nespresso capsules.

Starbucks and Nespresso partnered to create a Starbucks line of capsules and there are 3 espresso capsules: Starbucks Espresso Roast, Decaf Espresso Roast, or Blonde Espresso Roast.

Expert Tips

• Instant coffee can be used if you don’t have espresso. Combine 1 tablespoon of instant coffee and ¼ cup hot water to replace the 2 shots of espresso in the recipe.
• If you don’t have white chocolate sauce, replace it with sweetened condensed milk.
• The whipped cream is flavored with vanilla but if you don’t have vanilla syrup, you can sweeten the heavy cream with 2 teaspoons of sugar.
