Recently got some books on coffee from around the world. Amazed at some recipes ! Bits of chocolate to melt it it, using cocoa and cinnamon... even whole eggs mixed in the grinds !
Doing some experimenting with the recipes now.
Anyone ever have some very usual coffee drink ?
BTW, here is a drink called
HAWAIIAN COFFEE.
You use shredded coconut and mix with milk, refridgerate overnight, use a strainer
and add the liquid to your coffee.
Some of the coffees add the juice of one orange to the coffee too !
and...... congac and brandy are added too.
Copenhegan coffee
3 1/2 cups hot coffee
1/2 cup rum
1/3 cup sugar
1 stick cinnamon
6- 8 whole cloves.. heat over meduim heat, for up to one hour.
Egg coffee
2 eggs yolks
1 tbsp honey
2 tbsp brandy
2 tbsp cream
1 1/2 cups hot coffee....... combine the egg yolks, honey, brandy and beat until frothy, spoon the froth into 2 cups, add the cream and hot coffee.
Cafe au vin
4 tsp sugar
1 tsp ginger powder
1/2 cup sweet red wine, warmed
4 cups cafe noir
4 tsp orange juice
1/2 tsp coriander powder.. add sugar and wine to hot coffee, pour into 4 cups, add 1 tsp orange juice to each cup, dust the top of each cup with coriander powder.

I saw a recipe in there for that... was called irish coffe or something.... took quite a bit of irish whiskey. Recall also reading a warning that its way more powerful than it tastes. Will see if I can find it for you and post later.

I'm having some new coffee. Its from Rowanda ( packaged by costco) The package says jasmine and chocolate subtle aroma. I dont like it.
Usually have good luck with new coffees but this one I dont care for. Can maybe use it for a base for something else that will mask the odd taste. Do not think I'll develop a taste for this stuff. Yuck

Greek iced coffee is really nice.
It comes chilled in a tall glass, it's black and sweet, served with a straw and frothy head.
