This Indulgent Mocha Is My New Favorite Ritual
I like to make this rich chocolate coffee with decaf after dinner — it’s so good it’s basically dessert
In times of quarantine, as the news continues to change each day, maintaining a regular routine has become increasingly important for me. Whether it’s a morning walk, workout, or simply brewing a favorite cup of joe, sometimes the simplest, mundane tasks can help ground us in times when other areas of life seem a bit strange and unfamiliar.
One of my new favorite grounding techniques is to enjoy a warm decaf coffee at night after dinner. In remembrance of my past trips to Italy, I’ve spent time thinking about the beautiful culture and country while recognizing our own challenges here at home. There’s something calming though as I sip and journal about our current time of events. An evening brew has helped provide me with consistency and something familiar, something I can count on. Taking this time to get back in the kitchen and try new things has piqued my creativity as I dive into recipe endeavors I have been waiting for a rainy day.
Lately, this evening mocha recipe has been a true delight as I while I listen to the chatter of my family throughout the house or playing cards at the dining room table after dinner. Feel free to try this recipe…
