Luckily for me, my coffee house is located in a building that is a little over a century old. It's gorgeous and big and there are so many interesting people coming in and out of our shop because of it. Anyway, there is a woman who works upstairs named Jan and she is probably our most regular customer. Jan is hard working, jovial and just a really decent human being. Every day she brings her clients (all children) downstairs to pick out a bakery treat and sometimes get a drink. One of her clients is easily one of the most precocious and hilarious children that I have ever met, and I have nicknamed her Tater Tot (don't ask...there's no story behind it). Anyway, it's one of the biggest highlights of my week to see Tater Tot and to hear her ridiculous stories and I usually spend a little bit of my Friday's trying to come up with a drink that I think she'll like. Her favorite thus far has been my Chocolate Covered Strawberry Steamer with extra whipped cream. Here's how to make it:
.Steam two shots of strawberry flavor and milk together (do it together because otherwise fruit flavors curdle when hot milk touches them)
.Add chocolate, but only half the amount you'd put into a hot chocolate.
.Stir
.Add whipped cream (a healthy dose if it's for your favorite little one)
Voila! The perfect treat for your favorite precocious child. :) Drink up!
ps...for you espresso lovers, don't be afraid to try this with espresso. i know you're thinking "ew...strawberry and coffee?! gross!" but really, it's not so bad. if you're really bothered, just add a hint of strawberry to your chocolate. :)
