Minted Mocha Smoothie

Ingredients

 * from the sneaky kitchen:
 * 2 tbsp cocoa powder, unsweetened
 * 2 tbsp Sugar
 * 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, preferably expresso or cuban
 * few drops mint flavoring

Directions
Mix the cocoa powder and Sugar in a saucepan. Stir in enough coffee to make a paste, then add the rest of the coffee. Heat just to boiling, stirring frequently. Cool slightly, add peppermint extract, then pour into ice cube trays or a shallow dish or pan. Freeze until almost solid. Place frozen coffee mixture into a blender or food processor. Add milk and process until smooth. For a decadent touch, top with some reduced calorie whipped topping and and sprig of fresh mint, slightly crushed to release the aroma.
