Urban Nest

I’ve been working hard to check everything off my holiday list, and last week I made another quick and easy recipe, cafe mocha.  It’s a hot cocoa recipe with a kick of coffee that my mom found at least 10 years ago (she doesn’t remember where it came from).  It’s nice to have around the house to warm holiday visitors, and it makes a great gift.  In fact, I made a huge batch and am giving it to lots of people on my list.  Here’s the recipe:

3/4 cup instant coffee

3T cocoa

1 1/3 cups sugar

1 cup non-dairy creamer

1/4 cut nonfat dry milk

Mix the ingredients.  Add 2 tablespoons to 6 ounces of hot water.

I made these tags so everyone would know how much of the mix to use, and I used decaf coffee so it can be enjoyed in the evenings, too.  I’m giving my cafe mocha 4 different ways:  on it’s own, in a mug, with a favorite holiday CD, and with some cute gloves.

If you’re looking for another tasty and quick holiday recipe – give this one a try!
