Ramblings of a roaster

Christmas spiked spiced coffee

10/12/2020

0 Comments

 
It’s that time of year for something comforting to warm the cockles, and for coffee lovers why not something to build on our favourite beverage? Introducing Christmas Spiked Spiced Coffee. Whilst this warm cocktail can be made with standard roast coffee or even De-Caf, why not push the boat out? ........ well as my favourite childhood advert always said ..the ‘holidays are coming’.

A beautiful blend of The Garden Roastery Whole Spice Coffee, spiced dark rum, vanilla and sweetness with a luxury crystallised sugar stirrer.

The whole spices in The Garden Roastery Christmas blend give the amazing taste and aroma of Christmas, with cinnamon, cloves and star anise.

To make, simply:

  • Prepare a strong portion of coffee,
  • In a cup, or heat resistant glass -
  • Add a shot of spiced rum,
  • Add 1/2 teaspoon vanilla essence
  • Add one teaspoon brown sugar
  • Top up with hot water to desired strength
  • Serve with a crystallised sugar stirrer ...and better still a warmed mine pie!
If you’d like to make your own, head on over to The Garden Roastery shop, where you can buy your Christmas Whole Spice Coffee & Crystallised Sugar stirrers... then all you need to decide is what to add....

Coffee & spice and all things nice ...

​As the famous advert whispers “the holidays are coming, the holidays are coming....” and it’s true, the festive season will be on us before we know it. So that got me thinking about festive flavours and coffee.

Now any self-respecting qualified roaster usually shudders at the phrase ‘flavoured coffee’. That is because it usually brings to mind poor quality coffee with unhealthy and unnatural ingredients.

Well it doesn’t have to be that way. So a while ago I set off experimenting to determine how I could create something that has a great flavour, respects the delicate nature of speciality roast coffee and is natural.
I started off with good quality syrups, but found that the amount of syrup required to get a good flavour was adding far more sugar to the drink than was good, and was difficult to grind.  So what if I could find a great flavour without the sugar, whilst using just natural ingredients. Say hello to whole spices!

The spirit of Christmas (and mulled wine) is summed up in a few key spices.... cinnamon, star anise and cloves..

By grinding the whole spices directly with fresh roast coffee The Garden Roastery Whole Spiced Coffee Collection was born. Launching with two varieties - Cinnamon and Christmas Spices.

Whole Spiced coffees are available in The Garden Roastery bags, tins and gifts sets.

At the roastery, I prepare the flavoured coffees separately to single origins.  I use my new Wilfa Grinder, which, as with my Drogheria Eureka grinder, the Wilfa can be set for the appropriate  grind size for whichever brew method you prefer.

The Garden Roastery Whole Spiced coffees are available now. Order on line and we will post them direct to your door. Alternatively, local customers can collect from the Roastery at a pre-agreed time, once the fresh roast coffee has been prepared.

Wishing all my customers a happy and healthy festive season.  Happy holidays..
