Quick Mocha

In the city of Chicago you can find a coffee shop on almost every corner, and most of those shops are Starbucks, but occasionally you can find something new and unique. Don't get me wrong, I love Starbucks, they have a great Peppermint Mocha (my favorite holiday drink) but I really don't feel like spending $4 a day just to get my coffee fix.

I have found a way to make tasty, easy mocha at home that is lower in calories than the coffee shops, but not lacking in taste. Try it, it may surprise you.

What you will need:

8oz of hot water
1 Tablespoon of instant coffee
1 package of Hot Chocolate mix

Combine the hot chocolate mix and instant coffee in a coffee mug. Pour hot water over, mix and enjoy! If would like to change it up you could use a peppermint hot chocolate mix, or even add a little creamer.

Just a little sip...

So here we go...

I am writing a blog about my dining experiences in Chicago. I will try to review my favorite places as well as give cooking tips and share my recipes. I look forward to this new adventure and ask your help. Tell me what you want to know about the Windy City's dining options and I will do my best.

I think this is going to be a fun adventure!
