Episode 20 - Cheese Coffee

-


Coffee with cheese in it?! Yes it's true! This experiment was... interesting. We based the recipe off a traditional Norwegian and Swedish coffee known as Leipäjuusto, Juustoleipa, kaffeost, or sometimes just Juusto. Normally it's made with something called bread cheese.

You can find a more exacting recipe here.

We unfortunately could not try the recipe with homemade cheese and the whole nine yards. The amount of money and work involved was a little demanding for our currently limited budget.  Perhaps someday we will!

Recipe

  • Five or six small organic cheddar cheese curds
  • 1 cup of your favorite coffee
I basically made a layer of cheese curds at the bottom of my cup and poured my coffee over it. As you no doubt saw in the video, the results were less than successful. The cheese and coffee didn't merge in any kind of beneficial way.



Afterthoughts:

You read that right, ZERO STARS. On some level I feel like this experiment should have worked, but unfortunately it didn't. I mean I couldn't even keep it down...

Cheese in coffee is just a no go.


Next week we close out our series of Coffees from around the world with a special episode! Don't miss it!

Les Brown said “Don’t underestimate yourself, you are capable of more than you can ever imagine.” Joan of Arc Peasant girl who lead France to victory as a teenager. At the age of 13, Joan of Arc began to hear voices telling her to lead France to victory against the English and see the crown Prince, Charles, crowned king. Somehow Joan convinced him to allow her to lead his army. She won the battle, but was later captured by English sympathizers, who tried her for witchcraft and burnt her at the stake when she was just 19. Despite her tragic end, there’s no denying Joan of Arc changed the course of history by boldly seizing her destiny. Now, if a teenage peasant girl can lead an army to victory, what can you do? 3 Steps to help you not underestimate yourself 1.

Episode 15 -Black Tea Coffee

Episode 15- Yuanyang (Coffee and Black Tea) This episode was the first we recorded from separate states. For some reason the audio came out badly- You can't hear me at all! We think we can fix it, but in the meantime, here's a rough transcript. It has everything, unfortunately, but the actual tasting. I recall this one was kind of just "OK" not bad not great. Pretty much how you would expect a blend of black tea, coffee, and milk to taste. Didn't hate it but it's not one I'll ever revisit. Feel free to try it yourself though and let us know what you think. The super precise and specific recipe I used was: Recipe 1/2 Cup of Coffee 1/2 Cup of Black Tea A pinch of sugar Two Tablespoons (ish) of Milk Transcript Chad: What's up coffee drinkers I'm (Chad) (and I'm Leuke) and we are the coffee nerds. Leuke: Thanks for joining us for Episode 15 of coffee nerds, the coffee break podcast Chad: You may have noticed a change of scener

Organic Pumpkin Pie Coffee and Evaluate Your Life Day! (Episode 61)

Today the 17th, is Evaluate Your Life day. Although it seems daunting it can be very useful. Seems a little scary but if you really put your mind to it and evaluate where you’ve been it makes it easier to make adjustments for your life now. You don’t have to evaluate your whole life either if that seems a bit too much. Perhaps the last year to make things easier. Either way you get a good idea of where you’ve been and where you want to go and to better correct your path to that goal. The recipe: 3-4 Scoops of organic canned Pumpkin Pie Mix (we recommend Farmer's Market brand, it's spiced to perfection.) 2 heaping scoops of coffee for every two cups of water (Kicking Horse "Hola" and bottled spring water work great) 1/3 cup of organic milk
