It takes about five minutes, makes two glasses and is easy to customize. Use sugar for a classic mocha or sweetened condensed milk for extra creaminess, then add more ice until the texture is exactly as slushy as you like.

Recipe Notes
Coffee strength: Use 3 teaspoons instant coffee for a milder mocha or 4 teaspoons for a stronger coffee flavor.
Cocoa: One tablespoon is enough to give the drink a smooth chocolate flavor without overpowering the coffee.
Sugar or condensed milk: Use one or the other. Condensed milk makes the drink sweeter and creamier, so skip the sugar if you use it.
Ice: Start with 2 cups and add more only if you want a thicker, icier slush.
