1. Mocha

    1 tbsp syrup + 1 espresso

    Top with hot milk. More syrup for a sweeter cup.

  2. Chocolate milk

    2 tbsp per glass of milk

    Stir well, or shake it in a jar with a lid. Cold milk works best.

  3. Strawberries

    A drizzle over a bowl

    Valentine's, sorted. Chill the berries first so the syrup sets a little.

Method

  1. 1Squeeze a swirl of chocolate syrup inside two tall glasses.
  2. 2Blend the ice cream, milk and the rest of the syrup until smooth but still thick.

  • Syrup, sauce or fudge

    Syrup is usually cocoa and sugar, and pours cold. Sauce and hot fudge usually add cream or butter, so they're thicker and best warmed.

  • Cocoa near the top

    The higher cocoa sits in the ingredients, the more chocolatey it tastes.

  • Squeeze bottle or jar

    Squeeze bottles for drizzling and milk; jars for spooning and warming.
