Good evening everyone! For those of you who don't know, my current living situation is somewhat unique- I don't have a fridge, and every coffee shop nearby is alarmingly overpriced. DIYers, I think you know what's coming next...it's time for a crazy stove-top mocha recipe!
Stove-top Coconut Cafe Mocha
Ingredients and Cost:
Coconut shavings: .70 GEL
Vanilla sugar: 2 GEL
Turkish coffee powder: 5 GEL (varies)
Condensed milk (it keeps better outside a fridge): 1.50 GEL
Water
I found all of this (aside from the coffee, which I bought in a small cafe on Rustaveli) at the new Smart store on Rustaveli Ave. As you can see above, the total cost for these ingredients is about 10 lari (around 7 dollars), and you will have the majority of each ingredient left over for future recipes!
Now for the baking!
PLEASE NOTE: If you prefer your coconut shavings to be melted as opposed to floating on top, add them when you add the Turkish coffee.
1) First, put about 6 cups of water into a pan.
2) Add two tablespoons of your favorite Turkish coffee, stir, and wait until it starts to boil.
3) Turn down the heat to its lowest setting, and spoon in two tablespoons of condensed milk. If you have a sweet tooth, add more!
4) Stir the mixture to ensure the milk is distributed evenly. Add 1 teaspoon of vanilla sugar, and continue stirring.
5). Turn the heat up once more, until the mocha is at your desired temperature for drinking. As soon as it reaches that temperature, add in a tablespoon of coconut shavings. They will float on the top (unless you added them earlier).
Makes 4 servings.
Ladle into a coffee cup, perhaps add some more milk, and enjoy!
Thanks for reading :) I'm off to organize some pictures, and get in a nice workout.
