fancy coffee

My barista at work

Jamie, the non-coffee drinker in our house, has become quite the fancy coffee maker. He has started experimenting with different flavors and has come up with a really yummy combination:

 

Put in the coffee press with about 2 c. water and let perk for a few minutes:

Coffee grounds,

1/8 t. cinnamon, ground

1 pod of cardamom seeds, crushed with the back of a spoon

1 heaping teaspoon of cocoa powder

¼ t. vanilla

 

After the coffee has achieve perfect brew-ness, pour into a large mug and add:

1-2 teaspoons of sugar

Chocolate soy milk to taste

 

This weekend he even got REALLY fancy, and whipped up some cream for the top! It did make it seem like something I should have to pay money for J The extra cream he froze in dollops on a cookie sheet and once solid, transferred them to a freezer bag. So now I can put a dollop of whipped cream on my coffee whenever I need that extra “something”.

 

What an act of love from a man that isn’t fond of coffee himself!
