Today, I'm sharing a cozy drink recipe that I came up with after our recent trip to New Orleans.
On the last day of our vacation, we had breakfast at a fun little donut shop on Magazine Street named District Donuts. If you visit NOLA, you have to check this breakfast wonder out. They have a unique mix of donuts that are different every day & they are absolutely delicious. I had the raspberry chocolate & I am still craving it. It was a perfectly cooked donut that tasted like it had raspberry truffle on top. It was divine.
One of my favorite parts of our breakfast experience was the chocolate latte I had with my donut. It was really rich, with just enough chocolate flavor & it wasn't overly sweet. I fell hard for this cup o' joe. After talking to the barista, he told me that they used chocolate milk instead of syrup.
Genius! I just had to try this out for myself & I have to say, it's a pretty tasty at-home latte that I'll be making again & again, especially this holiday season! It's enough of a treat to make you feel special, but quick enough to make on any morning. A heads up that it works best with a milk frother. They're pretty inexpensive but make a huge difference when trying to achieve that foamy latte. I've found them for a few dollars at IKEA & World Market.
At-Home Chocolate Latte
1/4 cup chocolate milk1/4 cup half & half
Strong coffee or espresso
Heat the chocolate milk & half & half in the microwave for 30 - 45 seconds in an extra tall glass or glass measuring cup. While milk is still hot, froth with your milk frothed for 20 -30 seconds, being careful not to spill the hot liquid. Divide mixture between two coffee cups & top off with coffee. Froth each cup for a few moments to gain some extra foam. Sprinkle with cocoa powder if desired & enjoy!
I guess this blog is perfectly incomparable.
