COFFEE TIPS & TEAZERS
By Don McKay

It is said that change is good, but not for everyone. I like my coffee fresh, hot, and black. Many people are sick of the same old routine, and want to try something different. I want to introduce you to my Coffee Tips & TEAzers. These are a few tips and recipes given to me by various people over the years. I hope you are able to enjoy them as much as I have.

Coffee Tip #1

The only thing that beats a hot cup of coffee in the morning is a FRESH cup of hot coffee. The only way to guarantee fresh Coffee & Tea every time is to vacuum pack your beans, grounds, tea bags, or loose-leaf teas. This prevents the air from making your coffee and teas stale. It will keep your coffee & teas fresher longer.

Coffee Tip #2

If you are board with the traditional way coffee is presented then I have some ideas that will give your coffee some pizzazz. Try flavored syrups there are many different flavors to choose from and you can combine the flavors to make something unique. Try adding some chocolate syrup to your coffee. Then add a splash of half & half creamer. Stir completely until your coffee is a tan color. Then add whip cream and chocolate sprinkles. Presto! You have a hot cup of chocolate mocha!

Coffee Tip #3

This is a unique recipe Cafe Speciale

· 4 teaspoons chocolate syrup
· 1/2 cup heavy cream
· 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
· 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
· 1 tablespoon sugar
· 1-1/2 cups extra-strength hot coffee

Put 1 teaspoon chocolate syrup into each of 4 small cups. Combine cream. 1/4-teaspoon cinnamon, nutmeg and sugar. Whip. Stir remaining 1/2-teaspoon cinnamon into hot coffee. Pour coffee into cups. Stir to blend with syrup. Top with whipped cream. Makes 4 servings.

TEAzer#1

The problem with tea bags is that you really don't know how fresh the tea is. With loose-leaf teas you can feel the texture and see the tea more clearly. The smell alone can be deceiving. Some companies have been known to spray their teas with scents that make them smell fresh, but are they really?

A Daily Drink for Good Health

What has been proven to lower cholesterol, reduce blood pressure (lowering the risk of heart attacks), aid digestion, fight fatigue, preserve younger-looking skin and promote oral health?

Green Tea, of course.

With all those benefits, it would be wise to drink Green Tea, even if it didn't taste so good. No wonder even Oprah enjoys Green Tea each day.



Try any of these varieties of Green Tea. You'll even find decaffeinated.

Don't Know Beans About Coffee Grinders?

If you're buying coffee beans and grinding them at home, yet your coffee still doesn't have the full, rich taste you think it should, maybe you have the wrong kind of grinder.

The only way to grind coffee the right way is with a mill or burr grinder. Avoid the cheap blade grinders as they simply cut your coffee (creating pieces that are unequal and not uniform so they can't brew properly).

Choose a grinder that allows you to choose a fine grind for your espresso, or a coarse grind for your french press.

This LaPovoni Coffee Grinder is a great burr grinder, and it isn't too expensive.
