Devo  🪴🌮🥃🍣

I like hot cocoa way more than hot chocolate. Hot chocolate feels kind of over sweet and cloying, but hot cocoa feels warming and restorative. Or maybe my audhd just likes the caffeine hit.

Anyways, it's pouring rain today and our whole town smells like a mildew filled tent trailer. Making cocoa mochas to stave off the PNW gray sadness. I use instant coffee I have for baking when I make these sometimes, because it's way quicker, and my friend who is a barista champion says mocha is the best way to hide bad coffee. Lol. You can also use brewed coffee in place of the instant and water.
