The Recipe

My Spiced Mocha~Java Recipe

I am least of all a neat, organized or traditional person and that especially applies to my cooking. My methods of measurement are more often the "pinch of this" or "handful of that" or "dollop or other of these." That being said, I'll try to convey as best I can to you that which blesses my mornings first thing, most days... plus or minus a tad of this or smidgen of that which would come about simply because of the difference in the sizes of your hands from mine.

That being firmly established, here we go!

Pure, whole or 100% ingredients are best.

Half a small handful of cocoa powder
Boiling water to taste (I fill maybe half the coffee mug)
Evaporated milk to taste (me? 2-3 dollops)
Several squeezes of Honey from a honey bear bottle (to taste of course!)
Freshly ground nutmeg to taste
Freshly sliced ginger root (at least 3 slices, thinly sliced)
Fresh brewed coffee to taste

I make each cup separately, using a Melitta single-cup coffee maker, drip style. It takes a bit more time, but the robust flavor is well worth it.

Now, if I had ever been crazy enough to join a cult, I'd surely never have had time to fully develop this fine recipe!


Moral of story:

Stick to the faith you were born into. And if your parents got lost in the clutches of  some "church" other than their original God-given one, go back to your grandparents' religion! Oh! And if it is corrupt, don't complain. Go in there, roll up your sleeves, and help straighten it up!

PS. Just for fun: What's missing from this photo above? (which ingredient??)

Hey! This is copyrighted, but for now don't bother asking by whom, OK? When I'm ready, you'll be one of the first to know, if you are signed up with me.
