Decaf Mocha Latte

If you're in the mood for something a little more indulgent, try a decaf mocha latte. Brew a cup of decaf coffee and add in some chocolate syrup. Heat up some milk on the stove or in the microwave and froth it using a frother or whisk. Add the frothed milk to your coffee and top with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. (Or... just brew a Smart Sips Decaf Caramel Mocha Latte or one of our other decaffeinated lattes in your Keurig).

Pour the batter into a greased baking dish and bake in the oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
