I’m happy to help you learn how to make a Starbucks Salted Caramel Mocha. My goal is to give you high-quality advice and resources, and I am ready to help you achieve your goal. Would you like me to help you with that?
assistant
Yes, please.
user
When making a mocha, you will need the following ingredients: coffee (whole bean or ground) syrup (sugar and water) salt (usually table salt or sea salt) milk (whole milk, 2% milk, or skim milk) whipped cream (from a can) ice and an espresso machine. I also recommend that you use a glass cup for presentation purposes. You can also pick a garnish, such as whipped cream and/or sprinkles or chocolate shavings.
assistant
Okay lets go slow. First, what are the ingredients for the mocha sauce in the drink?
user
The ingredients for the mocha sauce are sugar, water and salt.
assistant
Well, its actually sugar, water and cocoa powder
user
That sounds right, cocoa powder is a form of sugar.
assistant
No, it's a chocolate product
user
Cocoa powder is the cocoa powder from the cocoa beans (chocolate) that has been ground up.
assistant
Yes
user
Ok, so the ingredient is just sugar, water and cocoa powder
assistant
Correct, for making the mocha sauce. How about the ingredients for making the salted caramel sauce?
user
The ingredients for the salted caramel sauce are a dark sugar, a bit of butter, whole milk, and a pinch of salt.  You might want to add some salt to your mocha at the end, since it isn’t in the Starbucks mocha syrup, and the salt enhances the flavor.
assistant
Actually you need, sugar, butter, heavy cream and sea salt
user
Oh yes, so you need a whole lot of butter in the salted caramel sauce!  I did not expect that, as I had pictured something that looked a lot like the caramel sauce in the mocha syrup.  Maybe they used cream and butter because caramel is a fairly challenging process, and has some complex cooking involved.
assistant
And for the drink itself what is necessary?
user
Ingredients for the drink itself are the espresso you made earlier (most likely from your home machine) water, ice, the mocha sauce and the whipped cream.
assistant
You're close. Espresso shots, milk, the mocha sauce, caramel syrup, and whipped cream
user
Alright, I have the ingredients I need for making the coffee drink.
assistant
Well, you wont be making it but you can help others by describing how to make it
