I drink iced coffee year round too. I like it flavored with chocolate on
occasion and I also like Starbuck's Peppermint mocha every once in a while.

What I usually do is brew a pot and leave it in the fridge. If I want a
mocha iced I add some hershey's syrup to it along with half and half.

When I drink it hot it is never flavored - just light/no sugar.

For me it's because the cold with milk is reminiscent of a milk shake but
with my favorite drug! (When I say "like a milk shake" I mean from the point
of view of someone who gave them up years ago as one of those way too
fattening foods.)
