Bennyexton Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Kit/Dave, What are the portions for the spices in the coffee you made? All I could think of was coffee at the start of the conversation. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DW] Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Legends speak'eth of the ingredients, both hallowed and profane, that coagulate into this brew, arcane: 1 thimble full of cinnamon (grated under a Blood Moon) 2 teaspoons of cannabus-infused Ghee (from cow, not buffalo) 1 teaspoon of Myrrh 3 pinches of gold 3 drops of frankincense resin 1 cardamon seed (from the Crypt of St Francis) Coffee Beans *Best simmered over the blue flame of sulfur 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisgaray87 Posted August 20, 2015 Share Posted August 20, 2015 Dave that is just too good... haha! Just to expand a bit on the "coffee beans" part of that recipe, I highly recommend you experiment with 1.) freshly roasted beans, 2.) ground just before brewing, and 3.) brewed with a proper ratio. This article is a good place to start. Cheers! Best, Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kit_L Posted August 23, 2015 Share Posted August 23, 2015 Dave brews a mean brew, Chris (and in my view, the 'perfect' ratio changes day to day; more another time). Thanks for the reference, too. Benny: ground cinnamon, one part; fresh ground nutmeg, one part (DW has the tiniest grater I have ever seen for this element); and one part found cardamon. If buying already ground, keep all spices in the fridge (the essential oils are volatile, so will evaporate quickly) and do not mix up too much at a time. I do three small teaspoons of each, into a chocolate shaker used for cappuccinos. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted August 24, 2015 Share Posted August 24, 2015 Another simple blend that tastes great is cinnamon and licorice. May sound a bit strange, but the licorice adds a nice, mellow sweetness. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat (pogo69) Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 My partner occasionally adds some of my home-made (meaning it's different every time) chai spice mix to her morning espresso - added to the portafilter basket with the ground coffee before pulling the shot. The current batch has (in no particular quantities): - cinnamon - nutmeg - ground ginger - cardamom - cloves - black pepper - star anise - fennel seeds It is delicious (I've had a sip of hers) but I won't sully my espresso with anything - coffee is perfect as it is. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[DW] Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 Nathan - liquorice you say..! I shall try this liquorice and cinnamon beverage. Pogo69 - ah, this is called a dirty chai where I am from. I had one with Hammer in the Frozen Capital that contained coconut milk and was fucking amazing.. trying to emulate it at home I made a concoction that was almost undrinkable. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nathan Posted August 25, 2015 Share Posted August 25, 2015 It was an idea I got from a UK brand of teas that a friend gifted me - Pukka. Most of the herbal teas are delicious, and I noticed that licorice seemed to be in all of them. To most Americans licorice equals the black jellybean, so it's not something I would have thought to add to a tea, but it turns out that it adds a very nice sweet accent to almost any blend. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bennyexton Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 thanks Kit - I will have to purchase a shaker I think. Are you predominantly on the aeropress these days or mixing it up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nathan Posted September 7, 2015 Share Posted September 7, 2015 Hahaha... definitely the right, although I guess some people might enjoy dipping the left in their coffee as well 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
