This time out we tried Fonté Coffee Roasters' Decaf AA Blend, a medium dark roast. We also learned coffee just might make you live longer! (As long as you don't overdo it. That can kill you.)
Episode 17! We paired coffee and cinnamon for this episode, and added a little sugar. It's called Cafe Del Olla. Check out the video for more on this fun coffee experiment. Recipe: Coffee Cinnamon Stick Piloncillo (to taste) Piloncillo is a Mexican sugar. You can sometimes find it at Hispanic groceries or the Mexican food area at a regular grocery. We couldn't track any down, so we just subbed regular brown sugar. As always with sugar, a little goes a long way. You might also want to try 2 cinnamon sticks depending on how much coffee you're making. Toss the cinnamon stick and sugar in with the coffee and bring it to a boil, then use it to make your coffee using your preferred method. I recommend a pour-over. Leuke's Thoughts: ★ ★ ★ ☆ ☆ Where's the flavor?! This wasn't cinnamon-y enough for me. It certainly wasn't bad, but I wanted more from the cinnamon. Cinnamon sticks are expensive, too, so this isn't the easiest recipe to experim...
Here are my notes from Episode 32! Risk Take a risk! Risk taking can be really hard. You may wonder if it’s even worth it. Better to play it safe, right? WRONG Risk is your friend! “By reaching for what appears to be impossible, we often actually do the impossible; and even when we don’t quite make it, we inevitably wind up doing much better than we would have done.” -Jack Welch We often become fixated on comfort, but discomfort and the risks that come with it can often lead to positive change. “When it comes to meaningful achievement, comfort equals boredom and low engagement.” - Michael Hyatt Benefits of risk: Discomfort can lead to happiness, is a catalyst for growth, signals progress John Maxwell called this the law of the Rubber Band. To get somewhere meaningful, sometimes you have to stretch yourself. George Lucas took a lot of huge risks on the original Star Wars. A lot of people in the industry expected him to fail, but he took a big risk and created one of the ...
This episode was all about them spices. In Episode 13 we tried out Cardamom Coffee, a traditional Israeli treat made with cardamom pods and cinnamon. I also added a sprig of ginger, which is optional. We ground it all right in with the coffee beans. Normally it's made over a stovetop, but we prefer to make our coffees with more conventional methods when possible, be it a coffee maker or a pour over dripper. Easier to try yourself that way. And less to clean up... As a bonus we tried some cardamom pods staight. It was delicious don't try this at home, kids. Recipe: This is flexible. Feel free to experiment and get the coffee how you like it. For starters try: 4-5 cardamom pods 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon (or grind up maybe a quarter of a stick) 1 sprig of ginger (they come in little gremlin man shapes. I snapped off a nubbin and ground it in) 8 tablespoons of coffee That's about what we tried. I take a loose-y goose-y approach to recipes, so sometimes it...
