Hey, Reader!
If you're like me, coffee is a household staple. And like most everyone, I do enjoy indulging in a fancy drink from the coffeeshop every once in awhile.
Over the years I've cut back on my trips to get coffee out and about for two reasons:
- I like saving time and money
- I've leveled up my coffee at home
Just a few small tweaks can help you craft the perfect cup right at home. Here are my top tips for getting the best bang for your bean:
find a better bean
Whether you'll be sipping it black or using it as the base of your drink, the actual coffee beans you use to make your juice are important! Each type of bean has its own unique flavor and other characteristics that may make a difference depending on what you're making.
sweeten the deal
Coffee syrups are one of the best ways to attain that coffee shop flavor and sweetness. Even better, you only need a few ingredients to make your own syrups at home!
top things off
All whipped cream is good, but homemade whipped cream is next level! Fluffy and creamy, a heaping dollop of this deliciousness pairs perfectly with a cup of joe. Sweet cold foam is a lighter option that's especially good on cold drinks.
just brew it
Cold brew coffee concentrate is an option for you iced coffee lovers. With just two ingredients, it’s easy to make and cheaper than store-bought and the coffee shop. It’s also a great way to serve iced coffee to a crowd of people, say for a breakfast or brunch.
recreate a favorite
Who says you can't create your favorite coffeeshop recipe right at home? By combining these tips, you can enjoy everything from seasonal favorites to everyday sippers.
I hope that these tips and recipes help you enjoy your coffee that much more and empower you to try the next trendy drink at home (looking at you, whipped coffee)! Hit 'reply' and let me know if you've found a new favorite sipper to make at home.
Java great day!
