Raise your hand if you had coffee this morning!
This morning I had this:
Black coffee. Mmmmm!
With a side ‘o this:
Scrambled with onion, spinach, red pepper flakes, and basil
Fuel for the road – I’m off to DC! (Work-related, but I love a trip.)
Last night’s coffee was a bit more fun.
Despite the fact that I am unrealistically optimistic the spring-like weather will be here to stay, the evening called for a warm beverage.
A kahlua-laced mocha. It was a looooong day.
Kahlua Mocha
- 1/2 cup strong coffee
- 1/2 C unsweetened almond milk
- 1 T good-quality cocoa powder
- Shot of Kahlua
Brew 1/2 a cup of strong coffee (I used a vanilla-flavored instant coffee – VIA). Pour into coffee cup, filling half way.
In a small sauce pan, whisk together the milk and cocoa. Heat over medium-high heat until simmering (NOT boiling). It will look foamy.
Pour the milk mixture over your coffee, add your shot of Kahlua, give a quick stir, and enjoy!

Do you have a favorite “treat” drink?
I’m a fan of the night cap. Especially when I remember to make it with decaf. Oops.
I love chocolatey/caramaly drinks! 🙂 anything that is sweet I will most likely love it!
The other day I had a dark chocolatte and OMG it was one the best things I’ve ever had! Now I just need to learn how to recreate it at home and all will be good. 🙂
I gotta have my morning coffee 😉
I love coffee. If I was to drink this at night I would need to use decaf. I will have to try it for lunch.
I like the way you think! I love kahlua with coconut milk! So good. Have a safe trip!
I’ve never been a coffee drinker-I still blame it on the fact that I hate the way it smelt on my grandmas breath my whole life-ha.
Have a safe trip!
LOL! That is what I call the “Sunday after church” smell. We used to have to stay with Mom and mingle with the church ladies and their styrofoam coffee cups when I was a kid. *shudder*
Probably would have been more fun if theirs were spiked. 😉
