Coffee..Coffee....Coffeeeee

Its that time in my morning when I realize I have not yet consumed enough coffee to be considered awake. Some days, my normal French Press coffee just doesn't cut it.



There is a coffee place in SF called Philz Coffee that makes individual cups of coffee from start to finish. Each cup is brewed with freshly ground coffee, poured through a mini filter by hand, mixed and stirred to perfection, and served at drinking temperature. Its an easy process to recreate at home, and I do it sometimes. More than their method of brewing, I love some of the strange coffee blends that they have created.


For example, my personal favorite blend includes a dash of fresh Cardamom. Cardamom is a glorious spice, I recommend this beverage when you need a little extra flavor in your morning.




Cardamom Coffee

1 t Cardamom for every 2 cups (emily sized cups*)
Medium roast Coffee of your choosing

Lightly crush the pods in a mortal and pestle. Add Everything, pod and seeds, directly to freshly ground coffee. Brew as usual.

Enjoy!

*which in all actuality is probably more like 5-6 cups

  1. A+ Emily!

    This is great to remember if you ever need to grind cardamom for a recipe- simply grind the cardamom in your clean coffee grinder and then don't wash it before you make your next pot of brew!

    I'm def. going to try this in my Sunday coffee this weekend.
