You’re hunkered down inside because the weather is about to turn, or perhaps it is already miserable as you read this. You needa coffee and straight-up black just won’t cut it. What are you gonna do? You could take it super easy and just go Swiss Miss style and have some boring old hot chocolate, mmmmmm…chocolate, but that ain’t gonna be a real caffeinated beverage now is it? C’mon! What are you going to have?
So many delicious possibilities! You could still go black, although if going that route I definitely would suggest an Americano instead. How about something hot, milky, and steamed? Take the edge off and make the weather outside not seem so Old Man Wintery. A mocha? Yes! Perhaps even a latte. Caloric imbibement, and tasty too.
No? Something different? How about a mocha with…wait for it, mini-marshmallows! Totally takes you back to your time as a kid with the snow falling and a cup of hot chocolate warming up your hands. Those li’l marshmallows with their particular texture that is slightly melty, yet weird. Crispity. Totally makes your mocha seem life-changing.
How about something else entirely. Cuppa tea? That could be nice, but let’s keep this to coffee stuffs shall we? You go to your cabinet looking around in there and see Nutella. Yes! That’s the ticket! Grab it and putta big dollop into your steamer cup with half & half (if you play your cards right) and steam it all up. You’re on the right track to staying safe, warm and cozy inside while the weather turns craptastic.
Now get settled in with a book or whatever you wanna watch, or observe the outside world from the comfort of your couch. You’re nonplussed by the weather AND you have a coffee. What could be better than that?
