I have been a bad girl. I told you all that I would not abandon this blog after I had opened Sweet Addictions, and here it is, six months since my last post. Forgive me! It wasn’t my intention for it to be so long. This year has just FLOWN by! Anyone else think so? It’s been so busy busy BUSY!
To make up for my procrastination, I am posting somthing that is so delicious, and so easy, and so CHEAP, you’ll have no problem forgiving me for being so late. I just know it 😉
What we have here is a Homemade Iced Mocha Latte !! It is soooooooo yummy, any coffee lover will LURVE this! And get this, it breaks down to about $0.51 a cup! sure beats the $4.50 some “other” places charge! To me it tastes like Starbuck’s mocha frappachinos that you buy in the glass bottle.
Also, you won’t believe how EASY they are! No special machines needed! and it takes no time at all.
Let’s get started!!
Whats needed:
1/2 cup instant coffee granules
1/2 cup boiling water
4 cups chocolate milk
2 cups cold water
1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
Ice
optional:
whipped cream
chocolate or caramel syrup
start by boilng 1/2 cup of water (microwave works best, cook for 1-2 min depending on your microwave). Mix in 1/2 cup of instant coffee granules until completely dissolved. Pour coffee into a large pitcher. Now pour in 4 cups of chocolate milk. I used the premade chocolate milk they sell at the grocery store. (You know, the brown jug of milk) (one half gallon will make two batches) but “homemade” chocolate milk should work fine too. Now pour in the coffee mixture, 2 cups of cold water, and one can of sweet condensed milk. Mix it all up and serve over ice! THATS IT!! Can ya believe it?!? One batch makes around 6 glasses or so, maybe more or less depending on the cups 😉
For an extra treat, add some whipped cream, and drizzle on your favorite syrup. We like caramel and chocolate.
And of course refrigerate any leftovers.
I don’t think we’ll ever spend money on that expensive stuff again with this recipe! Who wouldn’t benifit from saving a few bucks in the coffee fund these days??
ENJOY!
