and with October comes crisp mornings which can't possibly be embraced without a delicious mug of cappuccino. I'm not a particular fan of the over-sweetness of most cappuccino mixes you buy in the store, which is why I came up with a recipe of my own! You'll be amazed at the simplicity of this gem. You probably already have the ingredients in your cupboards!
Mocha Cappuccino Mix
Ingredients:1/2 C. Instant coffee
1 1/4 C. Powdered milk
1/2 C. Cocoa powder
3/4 C. White sugar
1/2 tsp. Nutmeg
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon
I find the recipes I fall in love with are the ones that require only basic ingredients I keep on hand. And this Cappuccino recipe is one just like that!
Combine instant coffee, powdered milk, cocoa, sugar, nutmeg and cinnamon in a bowl
Whisk or stir WELL to combine
Transfer to air-tight container. That is if you have any left after the kids each drink a cup, not to mention your three cups!) It's just that good.
This cappuccino mix is great as a hostess gift, party favor, or to put in a Christmas cookie basket.
To prepare, add 2 tablespoons of cappuccino mix to 8 ounces of hot milk. Stir and Enjoy!
For a less creamy drink or if you're on a (shhhh...did she just say diet?!) use hot water instead of milk.
Happy sipping!
