My favorite Coffee

Last week there was a challenge on SCS to use coffee and the color orange together. I made this card for the challenge with one of my favorite MFT mini sets:

I just got done making my favorite iced mocha drink.... it's really spoiled me from buying them because I honestly can't find one at a coffee shop that I like more than the one I make at home. I thought I'd share:


Michelle's Coconut Iced Mocha

I have an expresso machine, so first I brew 1 serving of expresso. I mix in 1 packet of splenda and a heaping teaspoon of unsweetened baking cocoa into the hot expresso and stir until disolved. Fill a pint glass with ice cubes (I use 6). Pour the expresso over the ice, add about a tablespoon of Coffee Mate Coconut flavored creamer, then fill to the top of glass with skim milk.

I drink 2 of these a day... one caffinated in the morning and a decaf when I come home from work... it's my chocolate treat to myself!


What is your favorite drink??

I don't drink coffee so my favorite drink is hot chocolate. I make my own mix and it's super rich and creamy. I drink it only in the winter time, though, and I especially love it with a fresh biscotti from a local bakery here in Pittsburgh.

Great card! I love those colors!

Get out!! I drink an iced coconut mocha every afternoon! But I don't make mine from scratch. I cheat. ;) I buy a box of Int'l Delights On the Go cafe mocha mix (on the box it says no sugar added!)and make the iced version and squirt in some Torani coconut syrup. I love that coconut creamer, too! I use that in my hot coffee. Cool! And can you not wait to make Taylor's coconut cupcake recipe?? Mmmm!

Well, I don't have an espresso machine, but I'm gonna see if I can recreate it without one!
