Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Instant coffee granules
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup Non-fat dry milk powder
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar or sugar substitute
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 cup Hot water or milk (for serving)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the instant coffee granules, unsweetened cocoa powder, non-fat dry milk powder, and granulated sugar or sugar substitute.
Stir the dry ingredients together until they are evenly mixed and free of clumps.
If desired, add the vanilla extract to the dry mix for added flavor and stir thoroughly. Note: The vanilla will make the mixture slightly clump, but it can still be stored for later use.
Transfer the lite mocha coffee mix into an airtight container or glass jar for storage. Keep it in a cool, dry place for up to 3 months.
To serve, add 2 tablespoons of the mocha mix to 1 cup of hot water or milk. Stir thoroughly until dissolved.
Taste and adjust sweetness, if needed. Garnish with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a dollop of whipped cream, if desired, before serving.
