    Salt is supposed to increase the intensity of the flavor. I would say it is recommended, but optional.

    Using decaffeinated coffee to make a coffee drink is perfectly acceptable for people who dislike caffeine, have heart conditions or do not wish to be energized.

    You just need a few cups to measure out ingredients and mix things together. A saucepan is useful to heat up milk, or you can use a microwave. Generally, you can add the chocolate you prefer to your cup of coffee and milk.

    Try using more espresso, and less chocolate and milk. You get more used to coffee over time, so you might need to make it stronger.

    Yes! Iced mochas are quite popular in some countries. Alternatively, you can freeze mocha into either an ice pop or ice cubes; if you're expecting company, you can use these to make more chilled mochas while still retaining the flavor.

    You can use less milk. You'll still want some, though, since the milk is what gives the mocha its creamy chocolatiness (mochas aren't really supposed to taste like coffee). Black coffee and cocoa powder alone isn't a very palatable mixture.

    Yes, you can quickly and affordably make a mocha by adding instant coffee powder directly to hot chocolate. Be aware, however, that the taste may not be as rich, and the drink's mouthfeel could be thinner or more watery.

    Your choice depends on how strong you want the coffee flavor to be in your mocha. Espresso provides a robust coffee taste that can stand alongside the chocolate, creating a balanced flavor for those who appreciate both. If you prefer a more subtle coffee presence, allowing the chocolate to be the main flavor, drip coffee would be a better option.
