NHS says that it’s best to avoid caffeine for pregnancy/nursing (or no more than 2 cups of weak tea daily – or 1 cup of mild coffee or cola). Also avoid caffeine for certain medical conditions. Or use organic decaff coffee (and leave off chocolate toppings).

Keep chocolate and nutmeg etc away from pets.

Use a sink drainer to catch coffee grounds, then bin (caffeine may affect compost creatures). Same with tea leaves.

A Vegan Orange Mocha Recipe

Mocha is a combination of coffee and chocolate. This Vegan Orange Mocha Drink (The First Mess) therefore kind of tastes a bit like drinking a hot liquid Terry’s chocolate orange.
