Vanilla Coffee
"This always reminds me of Christmas. From a Gooseberry Patch Cookbook. Feel free to use Splenda instead of sugar.
Serving amounts are a total guess. Update - I have since cut in 1/2 the original amount of vanilla powder that was posted. I do have a hard time finding vanilla powder and so feel free to omit, and just add 1/2 t. of regular vanilla flavoring upon serving."

Wow! Delicious! I decided to desolve everthing in boiling water like posted, but then I let it cool a bit, and then poured it over ice. Then I topped it off with a dab of whipped cream and dusted that with some cinnamon. Too hot outside for hot drinks! Made for Veg 'n Swap tag. -
This was a nice coffee. I enjoyed this. I made this just for me, as an afternoon treat. Thanks for posting...Made for Comfort Cafe - Chalet 01/10 :) -
I really enjoyed this coffee. Loved the chocolate, cinnamon and nutmeg mix. I did scale the recipe down to serve 6. Thanks so much for sharing. -
Heaven in a cup! Made as directed and wouldn't change a thing. I know it's called vanilla coffee but what really got me was the cinnamon - the aroma and subtle flavor made this coffee a winner for me. Thanks for sharing your recipe! Made for the Sweet Traditions event, 2009 -
Very nice flavor and great cup of coffee to wake up to. I used 6 packets of Nestle's hot chocolate and could not find vanilla powder so substituted french vanilla coffee creamer. Instead of 1 1/2 cups powderd milk I used 1 cup and 1/2 cup of the french vanilla coffee creamer. Still needed a bit more of a vanilla flavor so will make this again and play with the powdered milk and coffee creamer quantities. Thank you CoffeeB for posting this recipe. Made and reviewed for the Vegetarian/Vegan forums Veg* N Swap 13.

I like this, but I'm going to play with it a little bit so that I can like it a bit more. For me, it's still a bit watery using 4 T. I think I'll look for espresso powder instead of the instant coffee, as I had to add additional instant coffee to make this to my liking. Even though there is powdered milk (in the cocoa mix) and coffee creamer in this, I'll use milk instead of water when I prepare a cup of it. This is just a personal preference--I also mix my hot cocoa in milk instead of water. I used some splenda, and I used Recipe #47977 for the hot chocolate mix. I used french vanilla flavored creamer instead of using vanilla powder. Thanks for posting! Looking forward to trying more of your coffee recipes! Made for PRMR.
