COFFEE Coffee, (which makes the politician wise, And see through all things with his half-shut eyes. ) ALEXANDER POPE (1688-1744) THE RAPE OF THE LOCK: CANTO 3 Coffee is grown in the tropical regions of South America, and when roasted, ground, and brewed, becomes a flavorful non-caloric beverage that is often used as a flavoring. Because coffee is a stimulant it may contribute to nervous upset and may need to be restricted for certain people. I am not one of those people and it is a good thing because I love my cup of coffee --- morning, noon and night. So lets have a cup of coffee and see what is brewing here. You know how you like your coffee and whether it is weak or "strong enough to do chores," with or without cream or sugar, you like it that way, so don't let anyone talk you out of drinking it the way you like it. First let's talk coffee makers. Whatever you make your coffee in it is imperative to keep it clean. A clean coffee maker/pot is really easy -- wash it after every use and keep it clean inside and out. To clean absolutely all the soap out of a pot (the perk kind) just fill it with water and add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and run the cycle of the pot. Clean as a whistle. To clean a drip maker you should follow the manufacturers recommendations but generally that means running a solution of half water and half white vinegar through the cycle. You need to do this on a regular basis to avoid buildup that can damage your coffee maker and prevent you from having that aroma-filled experience in the morning. Now that we have all of that out of the way I would like to share some recipes that use coffee as an ingredient. Click on that steaming cup of coffee and you can start cooking.
