Recipe to Love for Iced Caramel Latte!

Making your own iced coffee or blended coffee drink is not only an easy endeavor, it should be economical.

The blended iced caramel latte is probably the most popular frozen beverage served in coffee houses and cafes all over the United States. Here is a recipe you can make at home with Caffe D’Vita’s Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix. Variations could include adding coffee or syrup.

Caramel Latte Recipe:
Makes 1 – 12oz beverage

Ingredients:
1/3 cup fresh Espresso or brewed coffee, cold or room temperature
1/3 cup milk (low-fat or non-fat milk foams up better than whole milk, you can also use soy milk)
2 heaping tablespoons Caffe D’Vita Caramel Latte Blended Iced mix
2/3 glass of crushed ice
Caramel syrup
Whipped cream

Directions:
Combine all of the ingredients in a blender. You don’t need a commercial blender.

Blend using low speed then high speed to the consistency of “mud”. If you get “stuck”, use your “pulse control” and add more liquid

Pour into glass and add syrup and whipped cream to taste

Getting the right combination of ingredients and the right consistency takes a little practice but soon you will be making these drinks and all of their variations for friends and family.

Warm Up From the Inside Out

There is a classic coziness to the fall season. The colder air brings us together, encouraging warmth from within, glowing from your hearts, hearths, and coffee mugs. Caffe D’Vita believes that it is this togetherness, this warmth that truly exemplifies the spirit of the season. Classic flavors and scents like the almond flavor of amaretto and the crispy, fresh aroma of peppermint lie at the core of this warm holiday tradition.

This season, entice your customers with the sweet, savory aroma of our Pumpkin Spice and Irish Cream Cappuccinos. Offer them a warm Amaretto or Peppermint Mocha Cappuccino with a candy cane swizzle. Or, invite your customers in from the cold for a steaming cup of our premium classic Hot Cocoa.

Autumn Goes Perfect With Cappuccinos

Watching the wind blowing through the trees outside the beginning of autumn brings, a few orange and brown leaves falling to the ground. An afghan spread out on my lap, fuzzy socks on my feet. I love to get curled up reading a good book, with my hand wrapped around a warm coffee mug, the taste of cinnamon and nutmeg lingering in my mouth, yummy.

I love cappuccino when it’s cool outside. It’s comforting and soothing to me. When I was in 9th or 10th grade, my mom found Caffe D’Vita, an amazing instant cappuccino mix.  We’ve made it every fall and winter since then (I’m talking, 13 years later and I still love it).

Caffe D’Vita’s products have a long shelf life, are kosher and gluten free, are quick to make and can be used hot or cold. For Cappuccinos simply mix with hot water or for a Blended Iced Coffee, Frappe, or Fruit Smoothie use either a blender or granita machine. The premium ingredients are guaranteed to produce accurate serving results every time. For foodservice customers, our unique customer service and promotional support is backed by our depth of experience serving the premium beverage industry.

Blended Iced Mocha Coffee Drink – a Big Summer Lure

Some things go hand-in-hand with summer: Sunburns, bikinis, outdoor fun and blended coffee drinks. This summer is no exception.

Here’s a fuss free way to enjoy a mocha blended iced at home. It can’t get any simpler than this. How simple? I just put everything in a blender and blend for a few seconds. I’m a lazy and shortcut cook. The taste is so good! And at least I get to enjoy mocha blended ice drink at a fraction of the coffee house price, in the comfort of my home and with minimal effort 🙂

Ingredients

(makes one glass)
1 Tbl of Caffe D’Vita Mocha Cappuccino mix –
6-8 ice cubesWhipped cream (optional)

Tools needed
a blender that can blend ice cubes

Directions
Just place everything in a blender and blend until the ice is nicely crushed to fine consistency. If you like, add whipped cream on top and dust cocoa powder over the whipped cream using a fine sieve.

Get Your Green on For Saint Patrick’s Day

This Saint Patrick’s Day make the perfect martini—try adding Caffe D’Vita’s Irish Cream cappuccino mix to the blend. Smooth and delicious, our Irish Creamtini is just sweet enough to counteract the bitter flavor of the gin or vodka without overpowering it.

Try this recipe:
In a metal martini shaker, add:
2 oz of prepared Caffe D’Vita Irish Cream mix
2 oz of vodka
A splash of very chilled Martini & Rossi Dry Vermouth
A lemon twist

Crushed Ice (a note about this: Cubed is fine, but Crushed will make it colder)
½ oz Vanilla syrup (this part is optional)

Take the glass out of the fridge (you should chill it for about 10 minutes before using it), and pour a small amount of the vermouth into it. Swirl the vermouth in the glass that the sides of the glass are coated. Discard the vermouth. Rim the glass with the lemon twist. Pour your gin or vodka into a shaker over lots of ice. Shake well until cold and pour into the martini glass. Squeeze the lemon, well, twist over the martini and balance it along the rim or just drop it in the glass the way you would in the case of a cosmo.

If you don’t like the lemon and cream flavor/texture combo, try rimming the glass with chocolate sauce and dusting a bit of cinnamon on top of the martini. You can use olives, but it’s not really recommended.

Chocolate is Good For You

Chocolate is actually good for you!There’s a reason that chocolate inspires gotta-have-it cravings for so many of us, perhaps more than any other food: It’s good for you!

“It’s actually good for your heart and also good for your blood pressure,” says Valentine Yanchou Njike, MD, MPH, of the Yale Griffin Prevention Research Center, who has researched cocoa’s effect on blood vessel function. Researchers have also found that phytochemicals in cocoa, which is used to make chocolate, may improve blood vessel function, slow blood clotting, improve insulin resistance and have protective effects against cancer.  And even though the labels say chocolate contains saturated fat, it’s actually the kind of fat that has little effect on your cholesterol levels.

The bottom line is that you don’t have to beat yourself up for craving chocolate if you enjoy it in moderation.

Here are some tips for getting a guilt-free chocolate fix.
1. Choose wisely.
How about chocolate instead of potato chips? Yes, indeed! The darker the chocolate, the more phytochemicals it contains. Because you’re eating this for pleasure.

have what you like in moderation,
2. Get a liquid fix.
Hot cocoa is another way to enjoy chocolate. Make your own using one of Caffe D’Vita’s hot cocoa or sugar free hot cocoa.
3. Savor it.
If you really love chocolate, slow down, enjoy it and savor every sip.

Smoothies – Not Just for Summer Anymore

Forgive me for this outrageously healthy sounding recipe, but it is a New Year, and therefore all New Year’s diet resolutions are still in force. I usually think of smoothies more as summertime desserts.

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with a different class of smoothies. Vegetable-based, just a little sweet, make them well suited for the season. Sometimes I throw in a little orange juice or a squirt of lemon, but otherwise I stick to local, seasonal ingredients. If you’d like to try making your own, here are some other healthy ingredients you might want to consider adding:

Kale or spinach, carrot, apple beet (roasted or raw), orange (peeled fruit or juice)
sweet potato (roasted), parsley, pineapple, celery, ginger, carrot.
Try to purchase locally when possible, it’s fresher.

Green Apple Smoothie
1 serving
5 minutes preparation time
1 tablespoon of Caffe D’Vita Vanilla Bean Classic Cream smoothie mix
1 apple (any local variety), quartered and cored
1 carrot
½ small bunch spinach (about 2 cups packed leaves and stems)
1 teaspoon honey
1 pinch ground cinnamon (optional)
3-4 ice cubes
¼ cup cold water

In a blender, combine Vanilla Bean Smoothie mix, apple, carrot, spinach, honey, cinnamon, (or whatever suites your fancy that day) with ice cubes and water. Puree until smooth. If needed, add more water to achieve desired consistency.
