1/2 cup Mocha Mix or other creamer

Mix all thoroughly.

Notable Note

Today the U.S. Department of Agriculture requires labels with the term ‘yam’ to be accompanied by the term ‘sweet potato.’ Unless you specifically search for yams, which are usually found in an international market, you are probably eating sweet potatoes! When soft varieties of sweet potatoes were first grown commercially, there was a need to differentiate between the two. African slaves called soft sweet potatoes "yams" because they resembled yams in Africa. That is how sweet potatoes became referred to as yams.
