Creative coffee

I mentioned in an earlier post how much I love my coffee. When the sun rises so do my kids, so that steaming cup of java better be waiting for me with a heaping tablespoon of whitener (I know it's bad for me but I'm not ready to give it up). On occasion (aka every evening) l like to spice up my latte with something more than the regular flavoured beans. I have come up with quite a collection of recipes that I found online and made up a chart that hangs in my coffee cupboard where it can be easily referred to. When I find a new one that I would like to try I simply edit my saved word file, reprint and replace. All of these mixes can be made up ahead of time and stored in a container to be added to boiling water. The majority of the time I simply add instant coffee to a regular cup of hot chocolate and that satisfies my craving for coffee and chocolate. What can be better than those two combinations?

CAFÉ MOCHA

1 ½ cups instant coffee

¼ cup cocoa

¼ cup whitener

6 tablespoons icing sugar

Place in food processor and grind. To serve place 1-2 teaspoons in 3 cups of boiling water

MOCHA ESPRESSO COFFEE

½ cups instant coffee

½ cups sugar

2 cups dry milk powder

½ cup whitener

¼ cup cocoa

¼ teaspoon cinnamon

¼ cup instant vanilla or chocolate pudding mix

put in food processor and place a small amount in boiling water

So if you love coffee like me check out some of these spots to get some ideas to spruce up your coffee mocha. You never know it may even keep you out of Starbucks for a day.
