4043.0. "Swiss Mocha Recipe ??" by GRANPA::GHALSTEAD () Wed Jun 14 1995 14:47

    I love to drink Swiss Mocha in the morning, but have watched the price
    for the small red can continually climb. Does anybody have the recipe
    for this powered stuff.  
    
    Thanks

    The brand I buy is General Foods International Coffees, its name is
    "Suisse Mocha". It mostly comes in a red and white 8 oz can.

    Well I don't drink this stuff.. but I know what it is and I would
    "assume" that there is the following ingredients:
    
    
    Nonfat Milk
    Coffee - ground very well
    Cocoa
    Sugar
    
    Good luck!  Have you ever tried reading the ingredients from previous
    bought packages?  That ought give you a start..

4043.4Make your Own Special Brew...BSS::KELLY_NAWed Jun 21 1995 19:1314
    Hi,
    
    I kinda make my own brew also since it is expensive and I also use:
    
    Instant Coffee (regular) or flavored - (hazelnut, french vanilla)
    Non-fat powdered milk
    Sweetener of your choice
    small amount of cocoa 
    various spices (optional) - cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.
    
    Have fun and experiment!

4043.5Experiment!KAMALA::DREYERMore great memoriesThu Jun 22 1995 18:2411
	I used to mix half a package of instant hot chocolate with 1/2 tsp.
	instant coffee and fill the mug with boiling water.  It was pretty
	good, even better with a shot of brandy or Kahlua!  Now I prefer
	frsly brewed coffee, and love to sprinkle a little cinnamon over the
	coffee before brewing it.  Still drink instant when we go camping,
	then I use one of the flavored powdered dairy creamers to make it
	special.

	Experiment and find out what you like best!

4043.6Quik + coffee = mochaRDVAX::HABERsupercalifragilisticexpialidociousTue Jun 27 1995 14:228
    Gee, I've been doing this for a while -- Nestle's Quik with a spoonful
    of either plain or flavored coffee [the irish cream is marvelous!] and
    some cremora/coffeemate at work, milk at home.  the coffee takes the
    sweetness out of the Quik but not the flavor.  Cheaper too, than buying
    the International Coffee.

    I was working many years ago, in a theater in Chicago -- it was a huge
    place, with basements and sub-basements, and sub-sub -- you get the
    idea.  Anyway, we stored our equipment in one of the sub-basements, and
    I decided to keep some personal stuff with the equipment.  Foolishly, I
    included some food items, including a tin of International Coffee.  The
    food was in closed containers, but it was food, and Chicago rats are
    large and clever, and voracious.
    
    I went down to get something a few days later, and noticed that rats
    had gotten into the food.  Now, these rats were typical -- if it was
    remotely edible, they'd eat it, and in fact they had eaten everything 
    -- except the International Coffee.  They had gotten into it, and
    decided that apparently this stuff wasn't even remotely food-like.

    but rats do eat Power Bars, in fact they break into bike shops to take
    the PB's home.
    
    whoops, wrong notes file.
