Holiday Frothy Mocha Latte
Having guests over this Christmas weekend? Here's a simple + tasty coffee drink you can enjoy together.
Hi Everyone! Thanks a bunch for being here. I’m sharing this recipe for my Frothy Mocha Latte, one of my favorite winter drinks. You can make this with coffee or any coffee alternative drink (mushroom coffee, dandelion coffee, etc). The idea for this came from the Italian Affogato drink, with a few slight additions by moi.
When I’m not roasting my own organic coffee beans via Fabula I’m forever an organic, whole bean coffee connoisseur, and my choice coffee brands are (in order): Groundwork (Ethiopia, single origin), Volcanica (Ethiopia, Yirgacheffe), and Cameron’s (Italian roast).
This drink is a fun one to make together when you have guests. If you love making coffee at home like I do, you might have forgotten that most people do not make fresh coffee (Starbucks), and the whole experience of making this simple coffee recipe is something they will really enjoy! If you’re having a holiday get together, offering a coffee bar with little bowls of toppings or add-ins will surely be something that’ll inspire them to make better, quality coffee, at home.
