I would like to thank Elizabeth Godwin my mentor in the coffee culinary arts. Elizabeth taught me how to make my first Café Mocha. She gave me the task of creating a new specialty coffee recipe every Friday and sent me down the path of becoming “The Coffee Girl”, for that I owe her everything!

I love fun, easy to make coffee drinks. Always have, always will. They are a simple, frugal indulgence, which can usually be made with ingredients already in your kitchen.

There will be no running to the local coffee shop around here, no sir, we have Keurig coffee brewers that make these recipes easy peasy.

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you…Camomile Lavender Mint Tea.

This recipe combines the relaxing properties of both camomile and lavender leaving you in a state of pure bliss. Cuddle up under your favorite cozy blanket with a great book, sip this tea and let your troubles melt away!

You will need:

1 camomile Keurig Kcup tea

-Brew your camomile Keurig Kcup tea directly over the lavender and mint.

-Cover and let steep for 4-5 minutes.

-Using a screen strainer pour the tea into your favorite mug removing the lavender and mint.

There is nothing that says relaxation more than a cup of camomile tea oh wait…. yes there is...a cup of camomile lavender mint tea!

3: Smoresuccino

Smoresuccino- yes I named it myself : )

I admit it; I am cheating on my beloved Salted Caramel Mocha. Unfortunately, that relationship did not last long, I have since moved on to the new love of my life- a smores flavored cappuccino made with Keurig Kcup coffee.

Let’s get to the recipe…

You will need:

1 extra bold, dark roast Keurig Kcup coffee (I chose Emeril’s Big Easy Bold)

2 T chocolate syrup

2 T Torani toasted marshmallow flavored syrup

1/2 cup of milk

Pinch of graham cracker crumbs (optional)

Start by steaming and frothing the milk. I heated mine in the microwave and frothed with a battery operated, handheld frothing tool. A blender works fine too.

Brew your extra bold Keurig Kcup coffee on the lowest water setting of your Keurig brewer. Add the chocolate syrup and Torani toasted marshmallow syrup directly to the coffee and stir.

You can now pour the milk over the coffee. Top with a chocolate sauce drizzle and graham cracker crumbs. Sip and enjoy this heavenly treat.

WARNING- this is not a low-calorie drink. It is meant to be a treat, if you drink it everyday, don’t come crying to me when your pants no longer fit!

4: All Natural Café Mocha

One of my recent personal goals is to eat real foods and to cook with all natural ingredients. No chemicals, no fake food, and no on anything I can’t pronounce. Since then, I have been on a mission to make an all-natural, yet delicious hot cocoa recipe. I wanted it thick, I wanted it rich and I wanted it full of delicious chocolatyness (is that a word?). After several mediocre attempts, I went back to the cupboard to re-examine my ingredients and there I it was, an angel sent from heaven- sweetened condensed milk.

I present to you the most amazing hot cocoa recipe ever. But wait there’s more, you get a two for one deal this week, I added Keurig Kcup coffee to turn it into a Cafe Mocha to die for. If you prefer good ol’ fashioned hot cocoa, simply leave out the coffee and add one extra cup of water.

You will need:

1 can sweetened condensed milk

1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

2 t pure vanilla extract pinch of salt

4-5 cups of water

1 Keurig Kcup

Combine the sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, salt and vanilla in a saucepan on the stovetop. Stir over medium heat until all of the dry ingredients are incorporated. You should see a rich chocolate brown color.

Next, slowly stir in the water. If you are making Keurig Kcup cafe mocha add 4-5 cups, if you are making hot cocoa add 5-6 cups (depending how rich you would like it). The color will start to lighten up and you will see some small bubbles but, do not let it boil. Stir and simmer on medium heat for approximately 4 minutes.

Fill a very large mug about half way with the all-natural hot cocoa. Brew your choice of Keurig Kcup coffee directly into the same mug using the lowest water setting of your brewer (make sure you have enough room in the mug!).

Top with whipped cream (homemade with heavy whipping cream of course to stick with our all natural theme!). Garnish with cinnamon and viola…

A beautiful, unbelievably delicious, all natural Keurig Kcup cafe mocha (or hot cocoa)! This is one of those recipes that I could not wait to share. I promise you will fall in love, I would even be willing to say that this is way better than any coffee house mocha I have ever had! The best

part is I made this entire batch for about $2.00!

You can save the hot cocoa in the fridge for up to 5 days to make yourself an indulgent mocha treat everyday- why not, you only live once!

5: Café Con Panna

Cafe Con Panna is a very simple yet extremely indulgent coffee house drink that can be made at home quite easily. Not only is making this recipe at home a piece of cake, it saves you big bucks!

Generally, Cafe Con Panna is not even listed on the menu at most coffee shops. It simply is not a popular drink in America, although I am not sure why. It packs a powerful espresso punch paired with creamy, sweet whipped cream… delicious!

Wont you feel savvy when you not only know what it is but, how to make it.

You will need:

1 Dark Magic Keurig Kcup coffee

Whipped cream

Brew a Dark Magic Kcup on the lowest water setting of your Keurig. Yes, I do realize this is not a true European espresso however; it is pretty darn close, tastes great and doesn’t require any sort of fancy equipment…. so there!

Immediately transfer your espresso to a demitasse cup and top with

whipped cream. You should have enough coffee for two so you must share with a friend- so sit back take a sip and enjoy!

Can you believe it is that simple? This is a great drink for those trying to break into the world of espresso but are not quite ready for the full affect. The whipped cream tones the coffee down a bit and provides just the perfect dash of sweetness!

6: Maple Syrup Coffee

It is maple syrup time in Ohio and there is nothing I love more than local, pure maple syrup. My family and I take a drive through the country a couple of times a year in pursuit of a rather large jug of the heavenly syrup and of course we have to indulge with a few pieces of maple sugar candy while we are there! If you have never tried maple sugar candy, get in your car right now and get some, it will change your life.

This weekend I had an ah ha moment and decided to add our treasured maple syrup to my coffee – I know… I am a genius! My initial thought was to simply pour it into the coffee and stir but, that did not work, it just sank to the bottom. I went back to the drawing board and came up with a perfect solution…

You will need:

1 Keurig Kcup coffee- any regular roast will do – I would not recommend a flavored Kcup, the maple syrup will provide enough flavor.

1 shot glass of maple syrup

Half and half or milk (your desired amount, I used about a ¼ cup)

Whipped cream

Cinnamon

Nutmeg

Heat the half and half and maple syrup in a saucepan on the stovetop. Stir constantly, do not boil. Once the mixture reaches your desired temperature, stir in your Keurig Kcup coffee that was brewed on the lowest water setting of your brewer. Stir over low heat for 1-2 minutes.

Pour the maple syrup Kcup coffee into your favorite mug, top with whipped cream and garnish with cinnamon and nutmeg.

Enjoy!

7: Simply Delicious Tiramisu Coffee

You can now enjoy the delicious tastes of the classic Italian dessert in the form of a dessert coffee made in your own kitchen with you Keurig coffee brewer… you’re welcome! The recipe is a piece of cake (no pun intended) to make and costs far less than what you would typically spend in a restaurant or coffee shop!

You will need:

-1 Extra Bold Dark Roast Keurig Kcup coffee.

-1 shot Baileys (or any Irish Cream liqueur)

-1 shot Frangelico (or any nutty tasting liqueur)

-hot water

-Whipped cream and cocoa to top

This recipe is a 2 for 1 deal- the base of our Tiramisu coffee recipe is an Americano. The Americano is a VERY popular coffee house drink that is made with 2 shots of espresso and about 12 ounces of hot water. Can you believe that is all it is?!

Start by filling you glass about a third of the way with hot water. Add both shots of liqueur.

Next add an Extra Bold Dark Roast Keurig Kcup coffee made on the lowest water setting of your brewer. My “go to” Kcup for these sorts of coffee recipes is always Green Mountain Dark Magic.

Now you are ready to top with whipped cream and cocoa powder.

This is a perfect coffee to enjoy after a dinner party, your guests will so impressed with this unique dessert coffee. We won’t tell them how simple it is to make, that will be our little secret ; )

8: Mulled Apple Cider

It's apple- picking time- that means only one thing- apple cider! But, don't worry there will be no ladders or climbing trees for us, Keurig has made our lives a little easier with ultra convenient, ultra delicious Apple Cider Kcups! We will use their already prepared apple cider in our recipe and kick it up a notch (or two)!

You will need:

1 cinnamon stick

1 dash of cloves

1 dash of nutmeg

1/2 of an orange peel

1 T maple syrup

1 Hot Apple Cider Keurig Kcup

-Start by brewing your Hot Apple Cider Keurig Kcup on the highest water setting of your brewer. I know this is the opposite of what I

usually say but, this particular Kcup tends to taste a little bitter with less water.

-Add all ingredients including the brewed Hot Apple Cider Kcup to a saucepan and let simmer over low heat for 20 minutes.

(Your house will smell amazing at this point!)

-Pour into a large mug.

Head out to enjoy on a crisp morning or stay in and cuddle up under your favorite blanket.

Mulled apple cider is a favorite fall tradition in my family. Our kids love the taste and look forward to it every year! I hope that your family will enjoy it just as much as mine.

I hope that you enjoy my Kcup coffee recipes. Don’t forget to take some time out of your busy day to enjoy a delicious treat, you deserve it!
