Moroccan Mint Tea

Moroccan Mint Tea -

Mint tea isn't just a drink in Morocco. It is a sign of hospitality and friendship and tradition. Because this drink is so popular, it is served all day long, after every meal and with every conversation. Moroccans take great pride in their tea and will often ask a visitor who among their group of friends makes the best cup of mint tea.

Ingredients:

10 sprigs fresh mint, plus extra for garnish
3 teaspoons green tea
3 tablespoons sugar (or more to taste)
4 cups water

Method:

Boil the water and pour a small amount in the teapot, swishing it around to warm the pot.
Combine the mint and green tea and sugar in the teapot, then fill it with the rest of the hot water.
Let the tea brew for three minutes.
Set out glasses for the tea.
A shot-glass is close to the slender glasses used in Morocco.
Fill just one glass with the tea, then pour it back in the pot.
Repeat.
This helps to dissolve and distribute the sugar.
Pour the tea.
You want a nice foam on the tea so always pour with the teapot a high distance above the glasses.
If you do not have at least a little foam on the top of the first glass, then pour it back into the teapot and try again until the tea starts to foam up nicely.
Garnish with the remaining sprigs of mint.

A simple twist to hot chocolate.

Ingredients:
 1 cup milk
 1/3 cup white sugar
 2 tablespoons sweetened cocoa powder
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 1 pinch salt
 2 (1 ounce) squares semisweet baking chocolate, broken into pieces
 1 cup heavy cream

Directions:
Heat milk in a small saucepan over low heat until the milk begins to steam. Whisk in the sugar, cocoa powder, vanilla extract, and salt until dissolved. Stir in the chocolate until melted. Remove saucepan from heat, and allow to cool slightly.
Beat the heavy cream in large mixing bowl with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the hot chocolate. Serve immediately.

Chocolate Lover's Hot Chocolate

This is a very strong and rich recipe. Great for chocolate lovers!

Ingredients:
 2 1/2 cups milk
 1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
 1/2 teaspoon maple syrup
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 1/2 teaspoon honey
 3 1/2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
 1/2 cup milk

Remove from heat and add the remaining 1/2 cup milk. Return saucepan over heat and simmer until heated through, about 2 minutes more. Ladle into cups to serve.

Mexican Hot Chocolate

This is an easy way to spice up regular hot chocolate mix. Add more or less of each ingredient, depending on taste. Serve with marshmallows or whipped cream and enjoy.

Ingredients:
 3 tablespoons instant hot chocolate mix
 1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
 1 pinch chili powder
 1/4 cup milk
 3/4 cup boiling water

Directions:
In a large mug, mix the hot chocolate mix, chocolate syrup, cinnamon, and chili powder. Pour in the milk. Add the boiling water and stir.

Gingerbread Latte

If you have an espresso maker in your home or office, you can whip up this spicy seasonal favorite.

Ingredients:
 2 fluid ounces espresso coffee
 2 tablespoons gingerbread flavored syrup
 1/2 cup milk, steamed
 1/8 cup whipped cream
 1 pinch ground nutmeg
 1 pinch ground cinnamon
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla powder

Directions:
In a coffee mug, combine espresso coffee with flavored syrup. Pour in steamed milk. Top with whipped cream, and sprinkle with nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla powder.

Flavored Latte

Use this basic recipe to make your favorite flavored latte with a home espresso machine.

Ingredients:
 1 1/4 cups 2% milk
 2 tablespoons any flavor of flavored syrup
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger brewed espresso

Directions:
Pour milk into a steaming pitcher and heat to 145 degrees F to 165 degrees F (65 to 70 degrees C) using the steaming wand. Measure the flavored syrup into a large coffee mug. Brew espresso, then add to mug. Pour the steamed milk into the mug, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Spoon foam over the top.

Brown Sugar-Caramel Latte

Sometimes coffee is a dessert in itself. This is one of my favorite morning treats to make a Monday seem less intimidating. You'll need a battery-powered milk frother or it's just not the same.

Ingredients:
 1 tablespoon brown sugar
 1/4 cup half-and-half
 1 tablespoon caramel ice cream topping
 3/4 cup hot, brewed coffee

Directions:
Stir brown sugar into half-and-half until dissolved. Whip with a milk frother or small whisk. Pour coffee into a mug, and stir in caramel sauce until dissolved. Pour frothed half-and-half into coffee, and serve.

Cafe Latte

This is for all fellow coffee drinkers. I love lattes but buying them can be pricey. So here's a recipe so you can make your own.

Ingredients:
 2 cups milk
 1 1/3 cups hot freshly brewed dark roast espresso coffee

Directions:
Heat milk in a saucepan set over medium-low heat. Whisk briskly with a wire whisk to create foam. Brew espresso and pour into 4 cups. Pour in milk, holding back the foam with a spoon. Spoon foam over the top.

Pumpkin Spice Latte

My take on our corner coffee shop's seasonal pumpkin latte. You can use canned 'pumpkin pie mix' if you like, since it contains the pumpkin pie spice ingredients already. Top with nutmeg or cinnamon if you like. Enjoy!

Ingredients:
 2 tablespoons canned pumpkin puree
 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
 2 tablespoons white sugar
 1 cup milk
 1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger brewed espresso

Directions:
Brew your espresso. Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, whisk together the pumpkin, vanilla, sugar, pumpkin pie spice and milk. Warm over medium heat, whisking constantly, until hot and frothy. Do not bring to a boil. Pour the espresso into a mug and pour the pumpkin spiced milk over it.

Chocolate Banana Latte Shake

A little love of chocolate, bananas, and leftover coffee make this a very nice treat.

Ingredients:
 1/2 cup milk
 1/2 cup cold coffee
 1 banana
 3 tablespoons vanilla ice cream
 3 tablespoons chocolate syrup
 2 cups crushed ice

Directions:
Combine the milk, coffee, banana, ice cream, chocolate syrup, and ice in a blender; blend until smooth.

Vanilla Latte

This is an easy espresso drink to make with your home espresso machine--steamed milk and a shot of espresso with vanilla flavoring.

Ingredients:
 1 1/4 cups 2% milk
 2 tablespoons vanilla flavored syrup
 1 (1.5 fluid ounce) jigger brewed espresso

Directions:
Pour milk into a steaming pitcher and heat to 145 degrees F to 165 degrees F (65 to 70 degrees C) using the steaming wand. Measure the vanilla syrup into a large coffee mug. Brew espresso, then add to mug. Pour the steamed milk into the mug, using a spoon to hold back the foam. Spoon foam over the top.

Mocha Coffee

 1 cup hot brewed coffee
 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
 1 tablespoon white sugar
 2 tablespoons milk

Pour hot coffee into a mug. Stir in cocoa, sugar and milk.

All of my friends rave about these frosty drinks. I pour my leftover coffee in ice cube trays and keep them on hand all the time. You can make fun squiggly designs on insides of glasses with chocolate syrup, before pouring mochas. Top with whipped cream.

Ingredients:

 2 cups milk
 1/4 cup chocolate syrup
 1/4 cup white sugar

Directions:

 1/2 cup white sugar
 1/4 cup instant coffee granules
 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
 1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream

Chocolaty Iced Mocha

One of my favorite morning drink that isn't a diet disaster.

Ingredients:
 1 1/4 cups cold coffee, divided
 1 envelope low-calorie hot cocoa mix
 ice cubes, or as needed
 1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
 2 tablespoons sugar-free chocolate syrup, or more to taste

Directions:
Heat 1/4 cup coffee in microwave in a mug until warmed, about 30 seconds. Stir cocoa mix into the coffee until dissolved.
Fill a large glass with ice cubes. Pour 1 cup cold coffee and almond milk over the ice cubes; stir the cocoa mixture and chocolate syrup into the coffee and almond milk.

Mocha Coffee Cooler

This is so wonderful on a hot summer day (or any time of year, for that matter). You can have your favorite coffee taste in a refreshing cooler. And it's easy to change a little bit to accommodate your favorite flavors, like by using flavored coffee creamers, or different types of coffee. I like it because, unlike other recipes, it's dairy-free. It may have some unusual ingredients, but trust me, they're necessary to make it all bond together and have the great cooler texture.

Ingredients:
 1 cup cold strong brewed coffee
 3/4 cup powdered non-dairy creamer
 1/3 cup white sugar
 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
 14 cubes ice
 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
 1 5-second spray of cooking spray

Directions:
Pour coffee into a blender and add creamer, sugar, cocoa, vanilla extract, and ice. Pour vegetable oil over ice cubes and spray cooking spray into blender. Blend until smooth, about 1 1/2 minutes.
