Coffee Drinks

Arabic Coffee

5 pods cardamon
1 3/4 cups water
2 teaspoons (rounded) coffee grounds

3. Serve in tiny cups.

Borgia Coffee

Serves 2

one cup of extra strong coffee
one cup of hot cocoa
whipped cream
orange peel

Mix in equal proportions the espresso-like coffee and the cocoa (very hot). Serve in coffee cups, and cover with whipped cream. Add grated orange peel.


Variation: Put the juice from 1/2 freshly squeezed medium orange into glass. Place several squares or semi-sweet to sweet chocolate in the cup. Pour dark roast coffee over the top. Stir well to melt chocolate.

If desired, add a non-dairly creamer. French vanilla creamer goes well with this mix. (Milk will curdle if mixed with the orange juice.)

Espresso Drinks

(still non-alcoholic)

These are mainly mocha and latte creations with various flavorings added.

Caramel Fudge Latte

This is basically a latte, except its got equal amounts of espresso and caramel fudge latte (not Torani). The best way to do this is put the caramel into your dosing pitcher when dosing, then stir it up and pour it into either a glass of hot milk (white or chocolate) or a glass of cold milk & ice.
For some reason it tastes good with skim milk... the whole milk and caramel together is almost too much. Of course you can also substitute some ice cream for the milk and throw it all in a blender.
