I Can’t find the Cafe Mocha Recipe

Dear FlyLady,

I am looking for the café mocha recipe you have posted (the one to save money on the expensive coffee shop). I was going to make it up for my son’s teacher’s Christmas gift and I delete it somehow. Can you help me out?

Thanks,
Julie in Monroe, GA

FlyLady here: FYI we have a search box on our website to look for information like this. It is is in the upper right hand corner of our homepage. Here is the recipe for you. It’s one of my favorite warm drinks during the winter chill.

Dear Friends,

FLYLady has sent out her recipe for making café mocha at home and we have received many request for this recipe again. As I was getting ready to resend the recipe and the story behind her creation of the mix, we receive a clever gift idea:

“I just love taking this mix with me when I travel in the car. I fill a thermos with boiling hot water, and put the mocha mix in a little container, and off we go. We have to travel from Vancouver Island to the Mainland on the Ferry. We save so much money doing this. It costs over $2.00 a cup for coffee now, and traveling by Ferry is expensive enough! A homemade muffin, and a cup of mocha saves a trip to the cafeteria. Thanks so much for the recipe. I am going to make some of the mocha mix, and order FlyLady mugs, and give them as Christmas gifts, or as an occasions arrives.” 

Cheers! from Canada.

Saving money and giving a consumable gift instead of clutter – I LOVE it!

Have a great day – recipe is below!

Love,
Nikki

Dear Friends,

In 1996 I lived in a little community in Transylvania County, North Carolina. It is called Balsam Grove and was just a few miles from the Blue Ridge Parkway, up a narrow mountain road. There were 78 curves between my little cabin and downtown Brevard. I was attending college and had to drive those curves every morning to get to class. I barely had money for gas much less a cup of café mocha which is my favorite.

That is when I decided to make my own. How hard could it be? It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know it contains coffee, chocolate and milk. I wanted a mix that would store easily so all I had to do was put a scoop in a travel mug and fill it with hot water. I was good to go.

Not only did I have a drink that was much cheaper than a cup of café mocha at the coffee shop; I treated myself to something special every morning. I could even take a little with me so that I could make some more for the drive home in the afternoon. Nothing says I love you like a cup of something warm and wonderful.

Making your own café mocha does several things.

1. Saves Money
2. Saves Time
3. Saves the Environment when you use your own travel mug.
4. Warms you up on a cold day
5. Best of all; You feel loved

That is five good reasons for a cup of something warm and wonderful.

Here is my recipe.

Cafe’ Mocha

1 cup of instant coffee, I like Tasters Choice best
2 cups of Nestles NESQUIK
3 cups of Carnation Instant Milk I have tried other brands and they don’t taste as well.

To make your cup of Cafe’ Mocha; boil your water, pour into your cup and add 3 tablespoons or the mix into your cup. If you have a big mug you will have to adjust the number to tablespoons you add to it. I like mine creamy.

Our water bottles are not only good for keeping things ice cold, they will also keep café mocha hot. You know how we forget to drink it after we make it. You don’t have to travel to use a travel mug to keep your mocha hot. It is good for those of us who get sidetracked! You also can drink it at home and feel my hug in a mug with our FlyLady Coffee Mug!

Are you ready to save money and make someone else happy with a fantastic gift idea? They will feel loved for sure!

FlyLady
