Toni - boy you have a winner here of a coffee drink! I really enjoyed all the flavors of the chocolate and the spices with the coffee. Because of how my coffee pot works I could not add the spices to the grounds so I made my coffee and put the spices in with the milk mixture on the stove. It probably was not as pretty mixing spices that way than brewing it but it still tasted fabulous! Thanks for sharing this gem! Made for the Potluck Tag Game :~) -
Made for the *Best of 2008* cookbook game, DH & I enjoyed this treat as dessert coffee last nite. My version was not non-fat as you intended since I used reg milk & choc syrup. I also reversed Prep Steps 1 & 2, made the milk mixture 1st, poured it into my coffeepot & brewed the coffee right into it so it was hot for easy refills. I esp liked the nutmeg & 2 of us drank every last drop! Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. :-) -
Another grand coffee treat for me to love. I think that the "secret" to this blending is the brown sugar. It adds a lovely earthy sweetness, I used Splenda brown in 1/2 the ask for amount and used cocoa that I pre mixed with the milk for the chocolate syrup,also to save sugar . I used Vanillin and added it to the brew basket. Was tempted to drop a cinnamon stick into the cup but resisted that impulse this time, lol. Wonderful sipping and dunking coffee. In this case the dunkee's were 2 Recipe #343023 :D. -
5 Stars, delightful, we like our coffee sweet, with chocolate. The cinnamon and nutmeg made this very special with very little effort, and I was not overwhelmed by the amount of nutmeg as the water brewed through it, the full amount was not sitting in the resulting coffee. It was a snap to use the drip coffee maker this way. The only change I made was to pour the milk-chocolate-sugar mixture into the coffee pot so the rest would stay hot as we drank our first mugs. (I used decaf coffee so I won't be bouncing off the walls!) Thank you for posting this, toni, it's wonderful! Made for HokiesLady’s 30 Minutes or Less Party in Potluck Tag. -
Toni, I would definitely make this again, because I think it has great potential, but we found the nutmeg to be overpowering. Next time I'll use just a pinch. Made for Went to the Market tag, please see my rating system.

<p>I come from a long line of wonderful cooks and doing my best to hold up that tradition. My great-grandparents owned a coffee shop; my Nana was also a great cook and started the tradition of baking around the holidays, both cookies and fruitcakes. After she died, now a decade ago, our family decided to continue in her honor. The picture above is my mother's (Chef Hot Pans) dining room table just before we packed up our Christmas cookie trays. More that 20 kinds of cookies, many of which are from 'Zaar recipes. <br /> <br />I myself am an amateur cook with a penchant for ethnic foods and spice. Currently reforming my menu in favor of healthy dishes lower in fat with lots of grains and vegetables. My favorite cuisines are Mexican, Southwestern and North African. <br /> <br /> <br />Some of my favorite public cookbooks include:</p>
