Macabre Mocha Melody
Sadly, I have not been about as much as I would like of late. Starting a side hustle along with being a full time parent and having a full time job is a time consuming endeavour. Going on vacation for a week really caused havok with any schedule I may have had, too. Alas. I plug forward.
Today is National Macchiato Day! The tl/dr of a macchiato is an espresso with milk. To celebrate, I have put together, in true Skeleton Brew style, the Macabre Mocha Melody.
Macabre Macchiato Melody
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of Skeleton Brew's "Macabre Mocha" roast coffee, brewed as espresso
- 1 tablespoon of caramel syrup (optional)
- A dash of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of frothy milk, steamed
- Cocoa powder for garnish
Directions:
Step 1: The Macabre Base
Brew a strong espresso using Skeleton Brew's "Macabre Mocha" roast. The dark and mysterious beans will set the stage for your macchiato experience.
Step 2: The Caramel Whisper
If you choose to add sweetness, stir in the caramel syrup to the brewed espresso, letting it whisper secrets of indulgence into your cup.
Step 3: The Vanilla Veil
Add a dash of vanilla extract to the espresso, weaving a vanilla veil that adds depth to the flavors.
Step 4: The Milk Macabre
Steam the milk until it's frothy but still liquid, then pour a small amount over the espresso, letting the milk dance on the surface like a phantom.
Step 5: The Cocoa Crypt
Dust the top with cocoa powder, adding a touch of the cocoa crypt that hints at the complex flavors within.
Step 6: The Macabre Moment
Sip the Macabre Macchiato Melody with reverence, allowing the layered flavors to transport you to a world of coffee elegance.
Step 7: Toast to the Macabre
Raise your cup and toast to the macabre, reveling in the unique journey that only Skeleton Brew's "Macabre Mocha" can provide. Cheers to the mastery of the macchiato!

I understand all too well how difficult it is to fall back into a schedule after a holiday.
It's great to read this in celebration of this lovely day.
There are responsibilities that sometimes take us away from our passion for writing, but what is really important is to come back as soon as possible. Congratulations on your baby.
Mis you have presented us in a very strategic way the step by step to prepare and fully enjoy this great cup of coffee, it leaves me very expectant.
Greetings @wwwiebe
Thank you! I have a bunch of these recipes to share, and I think I've finally found the video format that I like. If you do get to try this one, please let me know how it turned out!
Yes, there is something called an "Off-line" life that often have a certain degree of priority and sometimes unpredictability over the On-line stuff.
It's true! It comes with a sense of randomness. I used to say that if I had a list of the coming year's unexpected issues I could make a lot of money. Likely still could! In my particular instance, though, aside from not having won the lottery, the randomness was all good and led to a successful summer.
OMG that sounds delicious.
Come for a visit, please. Bring coffee and recipes. Slippers allowed :)
!PIMP
You must be killin' it out here!
@nickydee just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @wwwiebe.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/1 possible people today.

Slippers are a necessity. As is coffee! I'm a prince when it comes to my feet. 😁
Well... coffee definitely!
I do like slippers but become afraid I am getting old when I wear them.
Of course... these days I appreciate the fact that I am getting old :D I just may invest in some. Bunny slippers 👍
Your own coffee company? Is this the new project you're referring to? Pretty exciting stuff for a busy dad.
Sort of, anyway. I own the roasts, but have another company do the roasting so I don't need to deal with all that licensing and health requirements and such.
Yeah, my two current projects that I'm trying to spin up are podcasting (blindskeleton.one) and coffee roasts (skeletonbrew.coffee). there are other projects in the wings as well. When I'm finally self-sufficient I'll get to those. This really means I'll do my best to have my boys work on them. 😁
Oh I just love the wonderful way you go around the directions @wwwiebe. Giving each direction an artistic and poetic approach. This macabre mocha is exactly what anyone needs to spark up her day.🌺
