Years ago someone taught me that you could fancy up that Folgers coffee with some cinnamon. We really like the way it tastes. I add 1/8 teaspoon of cinnamon per coffee measure scattered over the coffee grounds in the drip coffeemaker.
We had a recipe that was just as easy for orange coffee that used dried orange peel from the spice aisle, but we've lost the recipe and haven't been able to reconstruct it. I'd love to be able to have that again. I thought maybe a bit of sugar added to the orange peel would get rid of the bitterness, but that didn't work.
The cup and saucer pattern is Tunisia, and I got it from Pier 1 years ago.

Love your cup and saucer...I am always tempted by blues!
ReplyDeleteWe used to add cinnamon to the coffee grounds too because of supposed health benefits?
Things kinda come and go it seems...
Happy T Day
and
Happy July too!

I like the blue cups, too :) I've heard cinnamon has health benefits. We add it to cinnamon.
DeleteHappy T Day and Happy July. May it be sunnier here than this wet June we've had lol.
That cup and saucer is gorgeous!!!! I'm going to have to try the cinnamon on the grounds some time.
ReplyDeleteHappy Tuesday!
I hope you like cinnamon in the coffee. We actually like it better during the winter, but I'm enjoying some cinnamon today, too. :)
Deleteoh, I adore that cup and saucer...a very striking color combination! certainly the color makes the contents taste even better?!
ReplyDeleteYes, I'm a sucker for the blues in cups/saucers. :)
DeleteI adore that cup and saucer...gorgeous colors! The color makes the contents taste even better, doesn't it?!
ReplyDeleteLove that cup and saucer! A friend used to put cinnamon in the pot of coffee she'd make for us during our children' playgroups and it was delish!
ReplyDeleteI think I was the last to learn this trick, but I'm glad my friend shared it with me. :)
DeleteI had a friend who used to put a pinch of cinnamon in the pot of coffee she'd make for us when we'd get together with our kids for play dates. It was delish and I still sometimes add a pinch of cinnamon to mine:) Happy T day!
ReplyDeleteIt's a treat to have something a little different to try :) Happy T Tuesday!
DeleteSince my kitchen is all blue and copper accents, this cup and saucer really spoke to me. I've added a cinnamon stick to coffee before, but never ground it with the beans. Sounds like something I might have to try. I hope you find the orange peel recipe. It also sounds like something I would enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHappy July. I hope you are starting to see some sun and less rain. Thanks for sharing this during T this week.
Yes, sunshine! Predicted for the next few days anyway :)
DeleteThat's a gorgeous cup and saucer, makes me think of Arabian Nights. Maybe you need some Arabian coffee beans now. Haven't tried the cinnamon/coffee but perhaps I will. I usually like my coffee as it comes. BTW, Peets started in Berkeley and for years only had a handful of stores. Maybe you'll get a store in your neighborhood one day.

Oh, I hope we get a Peets coffee shop. We do have some great independents here, but I don't think any of them use Peets.
DeleteLoving that coffee cup! Never thought of adding cinnamon. .... Hugs! deb
ReplyDeleteSometimes I'm just in the mood for something a bit different :) Happy T Day!
DeleteFolgers is what we drink here. I think I want to try adding cinnamon to my coffee. Cinnamon has so many health benefits.
ReplyDeleteThat cup looks beautiful. The blue shade is lovely.
Have a great week
Susan
We always keep Folgers around, and cinnamon works well with that. Hope you like it :)
DeleteHello and Happy T Day! Oh my is that cup and saucer pretty, I love that color blue. I'm not a coffee drinker but my mom is so I will tell her about the cinnamon, sounds yummy. Thanks for sharing that with us, that's what I love about these Tuesday blog hops, we always learn something new.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and Happy 4th!
I love T Tuesdays, too. Such fun visiting y'all :)
DeleteBeautiful cup and saucer!I often put dried citrus peel in my tea pot!
ReplyDeleteI cheat with Constant Comment tea. Citrus peel already in there lol
DeleteWhat a great cup! I have never tried any recipes to alter perking coffee with cinnamon or orange but it does sound interesting. Maybe you could google the orange rind recipe. They have almost everything online these days. :) Happy T-Day!
ReplyDeleteI've tried googling, and the recipes seem complicated with too many ingredients. I'll keep looking, though. Thx! :)
DeleteI like a wee bit of cinnamon in coffee. I bought a tiny grater with a couple of cinnamon sticks--easier just to shake it on :)
ReplyDeleteLove your cup and saucer, it looks like there should be tea leaves to be read there :)
Happy T day
I've never tried grating my own, but that'd be fun. Thx for the suggestion :)
DeleteI love cinnamon,I'll have to try this. Stunning cup and saucer.
ReplyDeleteThx! I hope you like it :)
