DIY: Decorated Drinks for Valentine's Day

Since Valentine's Day is right around the corner, I thought I'd share a few sweet treats this week. First up, I'm showing ways to make ordinary drinks extra special. And don't let a lack of Valentine stop you! Modify these for kids or make them for yourself! Check out my Decorated Drinks:

Make that cappuccino cute with a heart on top for FREE!

• Take a drink lid (free anywhere that sells sodas or these can be bought) and trace a heart.
• Cut out the heart--remember there's a hole in the middle of the lid to make cutting easier.
• Place stencil on top of drink (perfect fit!) and sprinkle cocoa powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc.
• Gently remove stencil.

How about Heart-shaped Marshmallows in hot cocoa?

• To decorate hot chocolate, add a dollop of cream (I used Reddi-Whip) and a Peeps heart-shaped marshmallow. 

Milk Hearts

• What goes great with Valentine cookies (that I did not bake)? Heart-shaped milk cubes!
• Pour milk into a heart-shaped mold (I got mine for $1 at Target, but lollipop molds work too).
• Add a drop of food coloring and mix with a toothpick. 
• Once the milk hearts have frozen, drop them in a cool glass of milk.
• OTHER IDEAS: no milk? Use water instead with food coloring or strawberry syrup. Or pour strawberry milk into molds for flavor. Or try Kool-Aid cubes in the milk. I've tried all and they're delish!
