Can’t get to a coffee shop? Lean how to make your favorite drinks at home and be your own barista! Check out these 3 great recipes that you can try out in your Parkside kitchen.

Spiced Mocha Latte

Make this cozy and spicy drink to enjoy during movie night. Simply combine two teaspoons of instant coffee with the same amount of cocoa powder and milk. Make a paste and then stir in a pinch each of nutmeg and cinnamon. You can also add as much sugar as you like. Heat up a mug of milk in the microwave for two minutes or until it's steaming hot. Add the paste and mix well to enjoy it!

Nutella Coffee

This thick and delicious coffee treat is both impressive and very easy to make in your blender. Combine a cup of milk with two tablespoons of Nutella and a tablespoon of instant coffee. Blend well and pour into a glass with plenty of ice. This indulgent cold drink can easily be considered a dessert, especially if served with a scoop of ice cream.

Vanilla Frappuccino

For a truly decadent coffee treat, enjoy the flavor and texture of a classic vanilla frappuccino. Blend two cups of vanilla ice cream with a cup of ice until you have a nice, smooth consistency. Pour in four cups of black coffee and a few drops of vanilla extract, then blend again. If you want to get extra fancy, serve in a tall glass and top with a swirl of whipped cream.
