Directions
Preparing the Mocha Mix
Place the dry ingredients in a food processor. Blend on high speed until all the ingredients have been
smoothly mixed together. This will also break up the small chunks of freeze-dried coffee and clumps of cocoa,
ensuring that the mixture will not separate.
Store the mixture in a closed jar. If the size of this allows, repeat the process with
additional batches of ingredients to fill the jar. (It will be far less frustrating in the long run. If you
drink as much mocha as I do, you run out fast.)
Making a Mug of Mocha
Measure the amount of milk needed by filling the mug you are going to use. Then pour the milk into a saucepan.
Heat on the stove until the milk is steaming hot, and just about to come to the boil.
|
Into the mug, put an extra-heaping teaspoon of the mocha mix (or to taste).
|
Fill the mug about half full of hot milk. Stir well to ensure that the mocha mix has all dissolved.
|
Pour the rest of the hot milk into the mug.
|
NOTE: If you wish to make up the mocha drink with hot water instead of hot milk, you will need to add more of the
powdered milk to the mocha mix. If the taste of the drink is otherwise acceptable, then keep the proportions
of the other ingredients the same: simply increase the amount of powdered milk until you get the right degree of
milkiness.
Of course, the proportions of coffee to cocoa can also be altered if desired.
