Dairy Free Mexican Mocha

Back when Daniel and I were dating long distance we would have dates over skype where we would make fun foods together, watch the same movie and then end our day with an intense game of monopoly!

Since this was the most elaborate date we could have we always tried to mix things up and make it interesting! One of the ways we had fun with our dates was picking fun recipes! We made things like homemade macaroni and cheese, a souffle recipe from a video game, and my favorite, the Mexican Mocha!

This drink packs a punch with the cayenne and cinnamon spice that offers a unique flavor! The spice is met with espresso and creamy milk that balances out the whole drink.

I wanted to create a go-to recipe for what I believe to be the perfect balance of flavor, so here you go!

Ingredients

Spice Mix - Makes about 4 tbsp.

· 2 Tbsp. Coconut Sugar

2 tbsp. Cocoa Powder

· 1 tsp Cinnamon

· 1/8th tsp. Cayenne

· Pinch of Salt

Drink

· 2 tbsp. Spice Mix

· 1/2 tsp. Vanilla

· 1 shots Espresso

· 1 cup Milk of choice

Directions

Mix the dry ingredients until combined.

Pour 2 tablespoons of the mixture into a cup and add in the vanilla. If you have an espresso machine, froth the milk and then pull one shot of espresso. Pour the espresso into the cup and mix until fully combined. Pour in your milk and enjoy!

If you do not have an espresso machine heat up the milk on medium in a small pot. Whisk in 2 tablespoons of the mixture and add in the vanilla and about 1/4th cup of strong coffee.

Once heated pour & enjoy!
