Let’s talk flavored coffee. I think it’s safe to say that a good majority of people love to drink coffee. Whether it’s for breakfast on the way to work, at a Perisian Cafe, or an after dinner delight. I refer to coffee as a food group, espeically in the area of dessert with flavored coffee on my mind.
Flavored coffee is endless. Go to your local starbucks and you can find just about any flavor…peppermint, vanilla, french vanilla, carmel, hazelnut, and so on. Branch out of your local coffee shop and come up with your own flavored coffee.
A friend of mine recently introduced me to Tirimisu flavored coffee. Talk about heaven. Or better yet, I love the chocolate velvet flavored coffee. To.Die.For. Mmmm…I can taste it now.
With flavored coffee, the sky is your limit. Be creative in coming up with different flavored coffee. Think of your favorite desserts and try to replicate that taste in your mug of joe.
Here’s a recipe that I enjoy, often referred to a “Thai” Coffee. It’s an absolute favorite flavored coffee that I make at home.
Iced Thai Coffee
4 Cups Brewed Coffee
16oz of Sweetened Condensed Milk
3 Tablespoons of Sugar
1 tsp. of vanilla
4 Cups of Milk

Pour mixture in glas over ice and garnish with whip cream! Serves 4-6 people.
Another favorite flavored coffee recipe comes from my Grandma. Another sweet tooth indulgence that involves coffee.
Chocolate Vanilla Coffee

2 tablespoons of powdered French Vanilla Creamer
2 Tablespoons of powdered Swiss Chocolate Creamer
In a mug, blend brewed coffee with French Vanilla and Swiss Chocolate Creamer. Garnish with whip cream and dab of cinnamon.

Seriously, spend a few minutes thinking of your favorite flavors. Think of flavors that would compliment each other and make your taste buds sizzle. What ideas do you come up with? Try it your own fun flavored coffee idea!
I enjoy flavored coffee on occasion just for kicks. But some days I need to put my flavored coffee pursuits on hold, while I drink a class cup of brewed coffee with a littl half and half for a great cup to jumpstart my morning.
But on days when I’m lacking in energy and creativity, a wonderful mug of flavored coffee usually does the trick.
With that, I think I’ll be brainstorming my next flavored coffee adventure!
