DL.ART #164 Coffee, Tea, Beverage

 Welcome Crafters! 

It is time for another Bi-Weekly challenge at DL.ART. This Bi-Weekly challenge Theme is Coffee/Tea or any Beverage. I am a Mocha Fan myself - so I created my own Cafe' Mocha's. See recipe at the end of my post.

Our Sponsor for this Challenge is The Cutting Cafe

The Cutting Cafe is your one stop for affordable printable stamps and cutting files.  

So, you do not have a file cutting machine???  No problem - neither do I, but you can still make lovely projects by fussy cutting the templates.

Gail's Homemade - Mocha recipe
  makes two- 8 ounce cups 

[Hint I make mine in a batch of 8 cups - 
then store in glass containers in the refrigeration 
- I reheat on stove, but can reheat in microwave]
In a small sauce pan add:

I cup Silk Unsweetened Vanilla Almond Milk [30 calories]

1 Tablespoon of Hershey Cocoa Powder [10 calories]

Stevia (the real stuff) to taste 
I just sprinkle Stevia in the mix (about 1 teaspoon or less)

1 Cup of pre-made coffee - decafe or regular - 
my coffee comes from the Keurig machine

Stir & Heat on stove until temperature is as you like it - 

but not boiling hot or the milk will curdle

Pour your size serving into a coffee cup & enjoy.

Can add whip cream if desire. [not sure of calorie count]
Calories: about 20 calories per 8 oz cup without Whipped Cream
Note: This recipe is NOT the sugary, sweet Mocha's at the Coffee Houses-
yet just sweet enough for me! Yum!
