Post Title: Cafe Moka ..;) My style...
This one is really easy peasy....and i accidentally stumbled upon making this, had been really busy with my 8 month old baby and my 4yr old who just started Kindergarten....its actually difficult to be sure who's joined school her or me..??
I happened to be busy, cooking breakfast,packing it and packing off the lil one to school along with ,my infant...i'm sure you all may know how stressful each morning could be...however, Well it's nice to be "Back to School"..say after what it's been about 15years...Woah...real long time is'nt it...!!
One such morning while i was doing my daily chores i fixed a cup of milk for me the idea was to have a bournvita in actual, but during the process when my hubby asked me to fix his morning coffee as well i happened to add the instant coffee in my cup my mistake instead of his(u can sense how confused i was right..??) then i was like 'Fish'...and just did his coffee, handed his cup to him and proceeded to just have mine as is...one sip and im like woah....that tastes nice...ummm...even familiar...then the bell struck me hmm this tastes so much like the cafe moka we have when we're out...!!
Man was i glad...i liked it so much that now i make one for myself almost every day....;) So thought i'd share it with ya'll..!!
Cafe Moka...My Ishtyle..;) :
Originally Café mocha takes its name from the Red Sea coastal town of Mocha, in Yemen, which dating far back as the fifteenth century was a dominant exporter of coffee, especially to areas around the Arabian Peninsula. Mocha is also used to describe a type of coffee bean. Smaller and rounder than most other varieties, these beans are derived from the coffee species Coffea arabica, which is native to Ethiopia and Yemen. Although the beans originally shipped from the port of Mocha were thought to have had a chocolate-like taste.Thus,"Mocha coffee" can be refered either to the coffee-with-chocolate drink, or simply to coffee brewed with mocha beans.The correct spelling is Moka, used both for the city and the Moka pot. "Mocha", by contrast, is from Yemeni Arabic.
Cooking Time: 5mins

Cooking Time: 5mins
Serves:1
What goes Inside:
- Bournvita or and Drinking Chocolate: 2 Teaspoons.
- Instant Coffee(I used Nescafe Gold): 1 Teaspoon.
- Hot Milk: 1 Cup.
- Sugar: To Taste( Since Bournvita already has sugar in it, so do most drinking chocolates).
How to put it together:
- Whisk in the Bournvita along with Instant coffee and sugar.
- Add Hot Milk little by little and then whip or mix them all together.
- Enjoy the drink just as is or with whipped cream on top, or topping of your choice, in the comfort of your own home without any specialized machines to make some with your own two hands.
Just the way you like it..!!
