Simple Dessert Coffees

[chasingtides]

I've only made this with a percolator, never with my French press, but this is a tasty dessert coffee.

Coffee grounds of choice
Cinnamon
Water
Coffee maker

Mix cinnamon with coffee grounds. Make coffee as usual.

Alternatively, for a dessert coffee, melt four semi-sweet chocolate chips into piping hot cup of black coffee or a square and a half of semi-sweet baker's chocolate into a pot of coffee.

Both of these are good "afters" for a nice meal and are considerably lighter than many standard dessert. They pair well with seasonal fruit or small wedges of shortbread and long conversation.

Kind of a nerd question, but do you roast your own coffee beans?

This is awesome, I drink it all the time. The kind I drink is a little different - it's got cinnamon, cocoa powder, and fresh cream. Local favorite down here around Mexico. :)
