If you don't already.
I thought I'd already posted a recipe of my every-day coffee, but maybe not. I can't find it anywhere, so maybe I did but then I took it down?
Whatever.
Ingredients
- 1 spnful Trader Joe's inst. coffee
- 7 oz. (or so) water
- 7 oz. mug (bigger is fine, smaller is not)
- 1-5 dashes cream
- 2 spnfuls brown sugar
- dribble of Bailey's (that's the twist!)
- Heat the water until it whistles or until it comes to a rolling boil*
- Pour water into mug
- Put two spnfuls brown sugar in coffee
- Pour in cream until light brown
- Drizzle a tiny drip of Bailey's in. Any stronger and it'll be overpowering. You just want a hint of Bailey's
So, make the coffee, sit down with a very good book (it has to be very good to match the coffee. Can I suggest "Mara, Daughter of the Nile" — by Eloise Jarvis McGraw — to you? It's so excellent—I've read it five times, I think?).
Anyway, read Mara while drinking coffee and
*I have no clue what a "rolling boil" is, it just sounds better than just plain "boil". ;) (Don't tell anyone I said that.)
