New coffee recipe

Well it's not really a recipe, but I discovered a most delicious preparation using 3 ingredients...sirdarskol is going to laugh at me with his Barista training. haha

1. Start with a standard "house" style coffee
2. add 2 tsp sugar
3. spray in some whipped cream, 1-2 tbs
4. sprinkle with cinamon and mix it all up.

mmmmm, tasty.

You obviously know nothing about sirdarksol's taste in coffee...

I'll be making that tomorrow.

It's actually not all that different from a few different existing coffee creations. It's fairly close to con pana, which is espresso and whipped cream (some people garnish with cinnamon.)

If you like that, you should try a Thai coffee (or Vietnamese coffee.) Traditionally, it's a latte flavored with sweetened condensed milk (a tablespoon or two in a 10 oz latte). I've made a Thai au lait, which is 50/50 steamed milk/brewed coffee, flavored with a couple tablespoons of sweetened condensed milk, dusted with cinnamon... It's dessert with a caffeine kick.

Jeez... Now I've made myself want a Thai coffee. I'm going to pack on a couple of pounds tomorrow at work.

oooo, those are so good!

Add some caramel to the whip cream concoction, along with the cinnamon

Baristas can be pretty good at suggesting a drink based on your basic tastes (I used to go into coffee shops and say that I wanted something sweet, with a little espresso and a lot of milk).

I've read that a small amount of instant coffee in a homemade barbecue sauce on steak or chicken is absolutely fabulous....
