    Recipe Introduction


    Popular Coffee Drinks & Recipes



    Caffe Latte - Add steamed milk (150-170 F) to a freshly drawn shot of espresso. Finish with a quarter inch of foamed milk. NOTE: Some like to add the shot of espresso last. Pour slowly into the center of the cup. If desired, sprinkle with chocolate or cinnamon.
    Caffe Mocha - Start with a long pour of mocha syrup to thoroughly coat the bottom of the cup. Follow with a shot of espresso and then add steamed milk (150-170 F). Crown with a generous scoop of whipped cream and lightly sprinkle with sweet ground cocoa.

    Cafe Royale - Over a cup of hot black coffee, place a lump of sugar cube on a spoon. Pour an ounce of bourbon through the lump (which in turn runs into the coffee). Light the soaked sugar cube and let it burn out. Stir and serve.

    Coffee Frape - Ice cube tray of coffee concentrate
    Favorite flavoured double-strength coffee brewed, and cooled. Sweeten as desired.
    Cream or milk (optional)

    Frapp Mocha - 3 or 4 cups of ice depending on consistency liked
    2 shots of cappuccino (shot glass)
    3 1/2 shots of Hersheys chocolate syrup
    1/2 cup of 2% whole milk
    Blend together until ice is liquefied.

    French Kiss - In an Irish coffee type mug, add 1/2 oz of vanilla syrup, 1/2 oz of caramel syrup. Add hot milk so it floats over the syrup, than add 1 shot of espresso so it floats over the milk. Add whip cream and top it off with fine pink sugar.

    Iced Chocolate Latte - A tall glass filled with ice
    4-5 oz. Of double brewed coffee
    2 tbsp. Sugar
    A good long squirt of chocolate syrup
    1/4-1/2 cup of whole milk (as much or as little as you like)
    whipped cream (optional)
    cinnamon (optional)

    Iced Cappuccino - Fill a glass with ice
    2 oz. espresso
    6 oz. steamed milk
    whipped cream, optional
    Fill the glass with ice, add steamed milk and pour espresso gently down the side of the glass. Top with whipped cream if desired.

    Iced Coffee - Brew double strength - using twice as much coffee or half as much water. This allows for the heat of the coffee melting the ice cubes. African coffees are really good iced!

    Iced Espresso - Fill a glass with ice
    2 oz. espresso
    1 oz. Chocolate Syrup
    1 oz. half-and-half or milk
    non-flavored soda water

    Fill the glass with ice, add syrup, soda water and half-and-half or milk. Stir to combine flavors. Top with whipped cream if desired.

    Iced Mochaccino - Fill a glass with ice
    2 oz. espresso
    1 oz. Chocolate Syrup
    5 oz. steamed milk
    whipped cream, optional
    Fill the glass with ice, add steamed milk. Mix espresso with syrup and pour gently down the side of the glass. Top with whipped cream if desired.

    Preheat the glass with hot water. Dump the water and fill with hot coffee, add three cubes of sugar, and stir. Add a jigger of Irish whiskey, and top with a collar of lightly whipped whipping cream. For best results use a dark roasted coffee. Try Some African coffees.
