I take my coffee strong and black, but every once in a while I like to shake it up a bit and try something new. Here's my latest:
Cinnamon and Spice Coffee
- Instant coffee 1/3 cup
- White sugar 2/3 cup
- Nutmeg 1/4 tsp
- Cinnamon 1/4 tsp
- Allspice 1/4 tsp
Spoon as desired for strength and size of cup, pour boiling water over mix, and stir.
It's quite sweet as you can tell from the amount of sugar in the recipe, but it makes a nice treat for variety during this season.

...my wife takes her coffee strong and black also, but I pass!
ReplyDeleteIt's how I was taught by Mother, who drank coffee when there was sugar rationing and a Depression on ;)
DeleteI bet this would work with instant tea, too. Your Christmas cup is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThe Russian Tea recipe is the same concept. I got to thinking there must sure be a way to make the same kind of thing with coffee :)
Deletethanks My Mom would have loved this
ReplyDeleteI've been wondering if Mother would've liked this :) She liked the instant spiced tea.
DeleteI'm not a fan of instant tea, since I grind my beans just prior to making a pot of coffee. However, there's nothing that says you can't make this and use a teaspoon or two in a cup of regular coffee. I've made something similar for my cinnamon toast. That's yummy, too! Just leave out the instant coffee and spread it warm on hot buttered toast.
ReplyDeleteWe have a shaker we keep a cinnamon sugar mixture in for toast. We sprinkle it on the butter before we toast the bread. I'd never thought of adding other spices, but I bet it'd be good.
DeleteI love your cup! It is so pretty and festive. I don't drink coffee but this actually sounds interesting. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteWe used to have a 4-place set of these dishes long ago. They do add to the festive feel :)
DeleteWhat a pretty cup. I'm a black coffee person and don't even care for flavored beans--LOL! But I do remember making Spice Tea with Tang and lots of sugar years ago. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks :) It reminds me of our white Johnson Bros pattern :) I don't use this mix much, but sometimes I'm in the mood for something different.
DeleteLove the cup, but I like my coffee to taste of coffee and mil-foam, and nothing else. Valerie
ReplyDeleteI'm also in the strong and black coffee camp :) But I like a bit of variety now and then.
DeleteI don't very often drink coffee …
ReplyDeleteI love your cup and saucer here, perfect for my cup of tea :)
All the best Jan
I enjoy having cups & mugs for the different seasons :)
DeleteSounds wonderful and oh, how I love the pretty holly teacup - perfect! Have a great day 😁. Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe cup and saucer are sweet, aren't they. I do enjoy the seasonal decorations :)
