I did not see in your recipe for the vegan mocha how much vanilla to add and if using a coffee substitute for the shot of espresso what would the measurement be for a “shot?”
Depends on how strong you make your coffe but I would say 1/2 cup regular coffee.
where do you get shot espresso from and vanilla powder or can you use vanilla extract?
