Years ago I worked in a little coffee shop. We had a powdered cocoa mix with spices that was called Mexican Spiced Cocoa. On the can were directions for mixing it with espresso to get Mayan Mocha. I fell IN LOVE with that drink and have been searching for a replacement ever since. The coffee shop inside Hastings has a similar drink, but won't sell the mix to me for home use. So I researched a little, tested a little, and came up with this. To serve, stir 1/4 cup mix with 1 cup hot water and stir.

I know it s June and in the 90 s in Florida but I was intrigued by this recipe s ingredients. Had to give it a try. I m glad I did because I really liked it. I substituted Truvia for the sugar to save on calories but otherwise followed the recipe except for giving it a little shot of whipped topping. I ve never had a cocoa-coffee drink with cayenne in it but I loved that little kick that it gives this drink. Honestly I seldom like any of these powder drink mixes that have instant coffee in them but this one worked for me. Who knows maybe even try it on ice for the summer. Read More

I really liked the favors but the suggested 1/4 cup of mix per mug of hot water was way too rich. I use 2 Tbl of mix and it tastes great. Read More

I doubled the recipe using Splenda instead of sugar. Instead of adding instant coffee to the mix I added a 1/2 cup of the altered mix to 6 cups of brewed coffee. Simply wonderful! Read More
