Make Your Own Monday: Gourmet Coffee
I make so much of my own stuff you would probably think I was a freak if I told you everything but we’ll start with one thing a week.
Once I ran out of ketchup and read the ingredients on the bottle so made my own. The kids didn’t know the difference.
Today’s theme is coffee and there are a few tasty flavors I have tried. I don’t know about you but coffee often helps me get through the day with my family especially if I’m sleepy.
Vanilla Coffee: I simply add a couple teaspoons to a full pot of coffee. I make this the most so I have a monster jar of vanilla on hand. Everyone I serve it to asks, “What kind of coffee is this?” Even my husband keeps thinking its some new blend that I bought.
Cinnamon Coffee: This is great to flavor bland coffee and I simply add a half teaspoon to the pot.
Cafe Mocha: Add five or six spoons of cocoa to the pot and add milk. Chocolate syrup works well for this too.
Mexican Coffee: This is my favorite but I don’t make it as often. Add both chocolate and cinnamon to the coffee and top with shaved chocolate and whipped cream. Yum.
Black Forest Coffee: I have not tried this yet but it sounds delicious. It’s flavored with maraschino cherries, chocolate and whipped cream. See Sean Paajanen’s Black Forest Coffee Recipe for more.
