It is said that change is good, but not for everyone. I like my
coffee fresh, hot, and black. Many people are sick of the same
old routine, and want to try something different. I want to
introduce you to my Coffee Tips & TEAzers. These are a few tips
and recipes given to me by various people over the years. I hope
you are able to enjoy them as much as I have.
Coffee Tip #1 The only thing that beats a hot cup of coffee in
the morning is a FRESH cup of hot coffee. The only way to
guarantee fresh Coffee & Tea every time is to vacuum pack your
beans, grounds, tea bags, or loose-leaf teas. This prevents the
air from making your coffee and teas stale. It will keep your
coffee & teas fresher longer.
Coffee Tip #2 If you are board with the traditional way coffee
is presented then I have some ideas that will give your coffee
some pizzazz. Try flavored syrups there are many different
flavors to choose from and you can combine the flavors to make
something unique. Try adding some chocolate syrup to your
coffee. Then add a splash of half & half creamer. Stir
completely until your coffee is a tan color. Then add whip cream
and chocolate sprinkles. Presto! You have a hot cup of chocolate
mocha!
Coffee Tip #3 This is a unique recipe Cafe Speciale • 4
teaspoons chocolate syrup • 1/2 cup heavy cream • 3/4 teaspoon
cinnamon • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg • 1 tablespoon sugar 1-1/2 cups
extra-strength hot coffee Put 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup into
each of 4 small cups. Combine cream. 1/4-teaspoon cinnamon,
nutmeg and sugar. Whip. Stir remaining 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon
into hot coffee. Pour coffee into cups. Stir to blend with
syrup. Top with whipped cream. Makes 4 servings. TEAser#1 The
problem with tea bags is that you really don't know how fresh
the tea is. With loose-leaf teas you can feel the texture and
see the tea more clearly. The smell alone can be deceiving. Some
companies have been known to spray their teas with scents that
make them smell fresh, but are they really?
