Mmmmmmmmmm! It's a beautiful afternoon right now and I'm sitting here, looking out at Mother Nature and feeling special to be a part of it, while I am sipping this beautiful unusual spicy coffee that I have come to instantly love! I did sweeten mine with a little sugar, but I think some might like this as it is. Its very relaxing and got great flavour! Love the balance between the orange-ey flavour that springs forth in this and the spices that are equally powered up to give this a kick of their own! I feel GREAT after having this! Maybe I should go to Mexico for a short holiday;) :) THANK YOU for a great beverage! -
Pure pleasure. This is a fresh tasting spiced coffee. I really love the orange. I used full cinnamon stick and wouldn't cut it back though. Made for Comfort Cafe's Snow Queens Round, '10. -
An interesting blend of flavors, it wants a bit of sweetener to bring them out. -
This makes a delicious after dinner coffee. I cut the recipe in half and did add some sweetener when serving. The coffee is very smooth and not one flavor overpowers the other. A nice combination of spices.
