- 1/2 cup instant coffee
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup instant dry milk powder
- 1/4 cup powdered coffee creamer
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
- 1/4 cup vanilla flavored instant
pudding mix (optional, but very good)
Measure all of the ingredients into a
clean, dry bowl. Use a fork to combine
everything evenly. If you are ambitious, you
can powder everything in a blender. I don't
always do this because I am lazy. You do get
really impressive results from it though,
and it is easier to do than one would
expect. Transfer the mixture to a resealable
container, or a pretty jar.
To Prepare: Measure 3 or 4
tablespoons into a coffee cup. Fill it up
with hot water (about 3/4 cup) and stir to
dissolve.
This is a very sweet and chocolaty coffee.
It is almost as good as hot chocolate for
curling up with on a cold winter night. If
you decide to make it a bed time snack, then
you might want to use decaffeinated instant
coffee, instead of regular. The vanilla
pudding mix makes your homemade mix dissolve
better in water. It also gives a pleasant
vanilla flavor to the coffee that marries
perfectly with the rich chocolate.
