Description:
If you’ve ever been a coffee connoisseur, you know the pleasure of meticulously selecting beans, grinding them just so, and savoring each sip of your perfectly brewed cup. But life has a way of changing our tastes, and sometimes, simplicity wins over complexity. That’s where this Lovely and Luscious Mug of Coffee comes in. Once a snob for only the finest brews, I’ve come to appreciate the convenience and surprisingly good flavor of instant coffee. And since embracing the Somersizing lifestyle, swapping milk for cream has elevated my morning ritual to new heights of indulgence. This mug of coffee isn’t just a beverage; it’s my first “aaaaahhhhhh” of the day, setting the tone for whatever lies ahead. So grab your favorite 15-ounce mug (preferably one adorned with the Recipezaar logo), and let’s brew up some bliss.
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee
- 1 1/2 teaspoons instant coffee (Yes, double up on the coffee goodness!)
- 11 ounces boiling water
- 3 tablespoons cream
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Mug: Begin by selecting your favorite 15-ounce mug. If you happen to have one with the Recipezaar logo, even better! It adds a touch of culinary charm to your coffee experience.
-
Add the Coffee: Measure out 1 1/2 teaspoons of instant coffee and carefully pour it into the bottom of your mug. Now, double the pleasure by adding another 1 1/2 teaspoons. Because when it comes to coffee, more is definitely merrier.
-
Pour in the Water: Bring 11 ounces of water to a rolling boil. Once it’s reached the perfect temperature, carefully pour it over the instant coffee grounds in your mug.
-
Stir it Up: Grab a spoon and give your coffee and water mixture a good stir. This ensures that every granule of coffee is fully dissolved, unleashing its rich aroma and flavor.
-
Sweeten to Taste: If you have a sweet tooth, feel free to add sugar to your liking. However, I prefer my coffee without any added sweetness. It’s all about savoring the pure, unadulterated flavor of the coffee itself.
-
Introduce the Cream: Now comes the pièce de résistance – the cream. Pour in 3 tablespoons of cream, or adjust to your preference. This creamy addition adds a luxurious richness to your coffee, transforming it into a velvety delight.
-
Give it a Final Stir: Take your spoon once more and gently stir the cream into the coffee, ensuring that it’s evenly distributed throughout.
-
Indulge and Enjoy: With your mug now brimming with creamy, caffeinated goodness, it’s time to take that first sip. Close your eyes, savor the aroma, and let out a contented “aaaaahhhhhh” as you relish in the blissful moment.
