Authentic Cafe' Con Leche (Coffee With Milk)

Fri, 08 May 2009 02:08:13 -0400

Posting for ZWT 5 as we zip through Spain so might as well make this educational AND entertaining: Coffee was once believed to cure consumption, dropsy, gout, and smallpox; AND--get this!--when mixed with milk--as in this recipe--coffee was believed to be a CAUSE of leprosy! Oh, no! :rofl: I think we've proved through many years of not-so-scientific daily coffee-drinking that this is not true. Enjoy a cup and rest assured, you will not be leaving any body parts behind when you've sipped the last drop! ("Cooking Up World History" by Marden & Barchers) -- posted by Debber

Mexican Hot Chocolate - 4 Ww Points

Fri, 08 May 2009 02:40:15 -0400

Fabulous hot chocolate ready almost instantly. Mexican hot chocolate is more bitter and even has peppers added sometimes. If you want it more bitter, use the bittersweet chocolate and even add less sugar. You can also mix a batch of the dry ingredients, divide by 4 and store into ziploc bags. Add each portion to 1 cup of fat free milk and heat it up. Enjoy! -- posted by Nif

Spanish Hot Chocolate - Chocolate a La Taza

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:08:41 -0400

Everyone who goes to Spain has to try the hot chocolate. It's so delicious & can be used to dunk Spanish Churros in for breakfast. This recipe is just for the hot chocolate & I will also add my recipe for Spanish Churros as they really go hand in hand. This has a creamy, thick consistancy, it's very indulgent & can really give us women that chocolate fix we all need from time to time. The recipe can also be adjusted according to taste by adding more/less sugar or even omitting it depending on chocolate used or if you like very sweet drinks. I like to make enough to fill 2 big mugs for my daughter & I. We love it at anytime of the day. My daughter likes to add a squirt of cream & a cadburys flake sprinkled on top. I just prefer it on it's own. Anyway, make it - I'm sure you'll love it. -- posted by Wakey lass Lisa

Almond Hot Cocoa / Hot Chocolate

Tue, 29 Dec 2009 00:45:03 -0500

I've been making this since I was a kid. I was taught it by my Grandmother, who learned it from her mother. It's a very old, very easy recipe. I craved this drink constantly while pregnant. I usually use Hershey bars or Kisses to make this. I like to use leftover chocolate from Christmas and Halloween to make this. I have used every chocolate imaginable for this and I've never had a complaint yet. Also, you can use water instead of milk, though it will taste different then intended. I use milk to make sure my daughter drinks enough during the holidays. It has a kick to it, because of the Cayenne and Cinnamon. If you taste test throughout, you should have no problems. Besides, that just means you have an excuse to have more chocolate. : ) Note: You can also make this into Peppermint Cocoa. See directions below. -- posted by Bekahbv
