Friday Favorite: Iced Mocha

Have you tried this, it is amazing:

As soon as warm weather hits, I switch to iced "coffee" in the mornings. Via makes my life way easier. And, actually, I make mine a mocha.  I hate the bitterness of coffee. Even with a bit of cream and sugar, it still makes me cringe.  So, half n' half and chocolate syrup to the rescue!

There's no recipe to this- it's all about your taste in coffee. If I am feeling a little tired, I add a bit more coffee. If I'm feeling a little "blah", I add a little more chocolate... you get the idea.

See what I mean about adding half and half? I must have slept well this morning.

Here's what I use to make mine *ice isn't pictured, and make sure you add the ice to your cup last for better mixing*

{I do 2 via packets at a time in my Pampered Chef pitcher. 2 packets usually last me 3 mornings.}

I mix in the half & half and chocolate syrup to my cup every morning- the only thing that goes into the pitcher is water and via.

I can tell when I have added the right amount of half and half by the color, then I add about a teaspoon of chocolate syrup, mix well, add ice and enjoy.

I even dedicate a shelf on the fridge door to iced mocha-ness. The less I have to search for in the morning, the better.

I had just mixed a new pitcher (you can tell by the bubbles), this pitcher is amazing because it makes stirring unnecessary. One less thing to do pre-coffee every morning!

Regardless of what your proportion of coffee to cream is, this is a great way to start your day!  In my opinion :-) The only thing that makes it better is some whipped cream!
