Complicated Coffee

Sometimes it's just not enough to make coffee and add some creamer, milk and/or sugar.  Sometimes you just need something fancy. Something special.  Something...Complicated.

And sometimes you want the complicated coffee without too much work.  And let's face it-- going to Starbucks every day would make us go broke.  Well, it would make me go broke.  [...more broke.] And I really don't know that I should be driving without caffeine in my system.



Typically, my homemade complicated coffee involves too many damn dishes for one cup of coffee, but I found a shortcut today.  Super easy, super tasty:  peppermint white chocolate mocha.


Alright, alright, it's not really a mocha because I don't have an espresso machine, but it is a delicious alternative to regular coffee.

Put some white chocolate chips in a coffee cup.

Mmmm... white chocolate chips.

Pour in some freshly brewed, very hot coffee.  Stir until white chocolate chips are melted.


Splash in some milk and/or add a bit of sugar [if desired].
Add ONE DROP of peppermint extract.  Trust me, one is enough.  And it must be peppermint-- not mint extract.
Stir it all up, and enjoy.  Complicated coffee, simply made.  :]
Yum.

Oh, coffee.  How I love taking pictures of you.

Also!  Had to restart the injury clock.  Twice.  Oil burn while making orange chicken and burned my finger on a hot plate.  Ouch.
