Review of this recipe:  This was so yummy...I may never have plain coffee again, okay, that's not true but here's the changes I made for my own personal preference.

1/2 cup coffee
1/2 cup coconut milk
1/4 cup cream
honey to taste
2 tsp carob powder
didn't try peppermint, yet! but I will:)

I placed everything in sauce pan except honey and heated it.  Carob doesn't like to dissolve well so you have to be sure it's all broken up before drinking it or you'll be drinking clumps.

Yum, so good!!
