    Why we ❤️ it

    If there is any clear division in the world it has to be between tea and coffee drinkers. The (feigned) animosity between the two groups is stronger than between any two political parties, sport teams, or neighboring countries.

    I have my feet firmly planted on the dividing line. Coffee is my first love, tea my refuge. After I had to cut on my coffee consumption a couple of years ago, I still have my morning coffee, it’s a habit more than a necessity.

    This spiced winter coffee is the love child of coffee and tea: coffee beans and a spice mix steeped slowly, mixed with Kahlúa and served warm topped with whipped cream. It almost felt sinful as I sipped it.

    • Winter Spiced Coffee Recipe: Topped with cream, sprinkled with cinnamon and cocoa, well, maybe I should let you try for yourself.

    I have no idea how this percolated into my brain (terrible pun, I know).

    I have a big bag of the loveliest Dominican coffee beans (if you don't know it, you absolutely must try Dominican coffee, it’s the real deal). They just look so beautiful, dark, creamy, aromatic. I wondered what it would be like if I did something without grinding them first, something lighter than my usual coffee.

    I am not sure I can describe this drink. It’s milder than regular coffee, but the spices dance tight against the coffee, neither dominating the other. The aroma is intoxicating, and the touch of Kahlúa, well, that’s the sin part. It just works.

    Hi there! I tried your recipe like it was, except I didn't have a Kahlua. I left it out, but decided to buy a tiny sample bottle and try it again. First off, I liked it and it was very different, but I did change numerous things this second time.… Read more »
