Recipes
Here is a collection of coffee and tea recipes. If you have recipe you would like to share, please send it to us.

Tangerine Tea
To really warm things up, add peach brandy or peach schnapps!

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups fresh tangerine or orange juice
1/4 cup sugar or to taste
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
2 tea bags (black, orange pekoe)

Heat water to boiling in large saucepan. Stir in tangerine juice, sugar,
cinnamon and cloves. Heat to boiling. Simmer and stir until sugar dissolves.
Remove from heat and add tea bags. Let steep 3 to 4 minutes. Serve immediately.
Makes 4 servings.


Black Forest Coffee
6 ounces fresh brewed coffee
2 tablespoons chocolate syrup
1 tablespoon maraschino cherry juice
Whipped cream
Shaved chocolate (optional)
Maraschino cherry

Combine coffee, chocolate syrup, and cherry juice in a large mug; mix well.
Top with whipped cream, chocolate shavings and a cherry. Serve immediately.
Makes 1 serving.


Spanish Coffee
Strong brewed coffee
3/4 oz. Kahlua
1/4 oz. Triple Sec
1/2 oz. Bacardi 151 Proof Rum
Whipping Cream (Preferably heavy)
Sugar for rim

Rim a snifter with sugar. Add 151 and Kahlua to glass and lay on its side. Light and rotate glass until sugar is caramelized all the way around. Then stand glass up and add Triple Sec (can be done while still flaming). Add coffee, leaving about an inch and a half to the top. Blend whipping cream until slightly thickened (or for convenience, use whipped cream from a can over the top) and pour slowly on top allowing it to float. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and nutmeg. It's a labor intensive drink, but well worth it.


Quick & Easy Mocha Cake

Serves 10 to 12 depending on the thickness of the slices


Milk Chocolate or German Chocolate Cake Mix (the kind with pudding in the mix)

In place of the water called for in the cake, use cold strong coffee to which 2 tablespoons of sugar has been added.

Instead of beating only at low to medium speed with the mixer, use low speed to blend the ingredients and then, using high speed, beat the batter for 3 to 5 minutes until it is fairly fluffy.

Bake in a bundt cake pan as directed on the package.

Cool and front as desired.

Coffee-Rum Buttercream Frosting
4 cups powdered sugar
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. rum flavoring
1/4 cup cooled strong coffee
1/3 cup softened butter

Combine all ingredients in a mixing bowl. Blend slowly, then beat until smooth with a mixer. Scrape bowl often. If too stiff, beat in more coffee a few drops at a time.

Frosts two 8 or 9 inch cake layers.


Coffee Syrup
1 cup ground coffee
1 cup sugar
3 cups water

Boil the sugar and water together for about 5 minutes. Pour over the ground coffee. Let stand until cool and strain. Use this syrup in milk shakes, milk nog and other beverages where coffee flavor is desired.
