I Love Coffee

Coffee Dares

By: deleted
Written on December 18th, 2012
I love coffee but I am too cheap to buy specialty kinds or go to Starbucks. I always buy the largest cheapest tub of coffee. In college, I started to experiment with adding things to the brew to make it taste better.  My roommate and I used to dare each other to put some of the weirdest things in it.  Ask me to put anything in coffee, I'll try it and report back.

My favorites that I've tried:
Bacon
Hard Candy
Popsicle
Meringue powder
Jello

    I stir cocoa powder into mine-at ten calories a tablespoon, it's a lot of taste for a few calories. Oh, and something else I did a few times? Kava root powder. Stir in a couple of tablespoons, and you have something that makes you awake and relaxed at the same time-Kava Java.

    I heard that if you add a little of chicory or marjoram, I hope I spelled them right, will make any coffee taste better. I have no clue on how much.

      Chicory really will make your coffee smoother.

      Thanks for the propper spelling. How much chicory do you use?

      About 1 teaspoon of ground chicory per tablespoon.

      OK. Thanks for the tip. I'll have to get some in the future and try it. Have you tried rosemary, which helps your sinuses and scratchy sore throat in the morning?

      I would think that would taste funky in coffee...better in a tea. 6 drops of peppermint essential oil in coffee is...WHOOOSH! sinus-opening!

      True. A small sprig of rosemary also has helped me. The good thing is that you can use the same small sprig for multiple cups.
