It’s Valentine's Day and here at Cafe2U we know that there’s nothing that says I love you more than a great cup of coffee. So we’ve created a list of special Valentine’s Day coffee recipes that will surely woo over your significant other - take a look below! 

Chocolate Covered Strawberry Mocha

In the true spirit of Valentine’s Day we have found a drink based on an iconic Valentine’s treat – chocolate covered strawberries syrup added to a wonderful mocha! Here’s what you’ll need to make this one, it relatively simple:

  • 2 tbsp chocolate sauce

  • 1 tbsp strawberry syrup

  • 1 cup of milk

  • 2 shots espresso, or 4 oz strong brewed coffee

Once you have gathered your ingredients, add 1 tbsp of strawberry syrup to your cup of milk. Stir to combine, then froth the milk. 

In a heat resistant glass, add in 2 tbsp of the chocolate, and brew 2 shots espresso or 4 oz strong brewed coffee over the chocolate sauce. 

Stir to mix any remaining unmelted chocolate sauce with the espresso. Add the milk and strawberry mixture, and then top this beauty with your strawberry milk froth.

Then you should be ready to enjoy your creation! Take a full look at the recipe here

Red Velvet Latte

This coffee drink is the perfect indulgent treat for the end of a romantic evening. One of the most tasty coffees here’s what you will need:

  • 1 cup whole milk

  • 1 tbsp sugar

  • 3oz semi-sweet chocolate chunks

  • 1/4 tsp red food colouring

  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

  • 1/2 cup fresh brewed coffee

Then all you have to do is combine your ingredients! Bring your milk and sugar to simmer on medium heat and stir in your sugar to dissolve it. 

Remove it then from the heat, then stir in chocolate until it has melted. 

Once your chocolate has melted in, add your food colouring, coffee and your vanilla extract - then you’re all set to serve it warm!
