Tips & Warnings
I have found that it is VERY!! easy to double this recipe and easily make more than you need. A few times I have left the "extra" in the freezer for a bit and it becomes a great treat later.
A nice addition to this recipe is a bit of fruit. I have added bananas and raspberries before.
Make sure that the top of your blender is secure, you don't want coffee flying everywhere!

who would want to put grounded coffee in their mocha instead of brewed coffee, it had me spitting coffee grounds everywhere. It was good but the grinds really messed it up.
