Coffee is a timeless beverage enjoyed around the world. One of the most enjoyable things about coffee is the variety of ways it can be enjoyed.
A few of the varieties that are well worth trying are the following: Grog, Caribbean, Cuban Cubano and Mexican mocha.Let's start with Caribbean coffee. Take a coconut and back it at 300 degrees Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Once the coconut has cooled crack the outer shell and remove the meet from the inside. Grate it finely and add milk. Put it in a saucepan and simmer until the mixture begins to get thick. Filter this mixture through a strainer to remove any solid coconut pieces and add it to your hot cup of coffee. Enjoy.
The great combination of chocolate and coffee can not be denied or resisted. Make a regular cup of coffee and sweeten it the way you like it. Then add your choice of chocolate flavoring, ? tsp of nutmeg and ? tsp of cinnamon. Top it off with a healthy spoonful of whip cream. Sit back, relax and sip your beautiful creation.
Our next recipe is not made to be sipped. To make Cubano put coffee in a small cup. Add rum to your liking, but don't overdo it. You can also add a bit of hot milk to curb the rum a little. You've got yourself a nice shot of coffee.
Now an old English drink - Grog. Peel and slice one orange and one lemon. In a normal coffee cup put 1/3 tbsp of butter and 1 tbsp of brown sugar. Place a slice of the orange peel and lemon peel in your mug. Fill the mug halfway with coffee. Add a dash of nutmeg and ground cloves. Finally add a smidgen of cinnamon and swirl in some heavy cream. What a treat!
What have other parts of the world done with coffee. Let's talk Viennese, Turkish and Vietnamese.
Starting with Viennese - place 1/8 cup of dark chocolate and 1 tbsp of light cream in a pan and heat slowly. Stir in a half cup of coffee and whisk into a foamy mixture. Place your mixture into a fancy cup and dust it with a bit of cocoa and cinnamon. You've got yourself a high class cup of coffee.
Turkish coffee takes a bit of a unique approach. The Turkish like their coffee strong so they don't brew it, they boil it! Combine a cup of water with finely ground coffee and ? tsp of sugar and heat until the mixture boils. Remove the pot from the stove and add another teaspoon of coffee. Replace the pot back on the stove and continue to heat. When froth appears on the top remove the mixture from heat again. Let your mixture cool a bit before you settle back and enjoy it.
