    I might actually like your recipe. I am not a coffee drinker but I love the smell of it. I only get flavored coffee drinks like a Peppermint Mocha or Pumpkin Spice latte.

    1. I love black coffee, Debbie. But I also like any flavored coffee drink, especially peppermint!

  2. Recipe for coffee from an Irish grandma is strong with bailey’s cream or Jamison to make Irish coffer

    1. I love all things Irish, too, Veronica. Thanks for sharing a really good idea to add Bailey’s for Irish Coffee!

    I like regular black coffee with a spoon or two of carmel syrup ( ice cream topping) stirred in it.

    1. I am going to try your suggestion, Judy. Sounds wonderful!

    I dont usually drink sweeten coffee, but I love cinnamon in coffee.

    1. Thanks, Phyllis. That’s a really good idea.

  5. I wish I had a recipe to share. I’m basic. Coffee, 2 sugars, 3 creamers. (carmel, if possiable.) Thanks for sharing and the giveaway.

    1. Thank YOU, Sally. And I appreciate your carmel suggestion.

    I don’t drink coffee but this recipe looks wonderful. My grandparents on my dad’s side were Italian. My grandfather was an Italian chef.

    1. Thanks, Marie. Wow, your grandfather was an Italian chef. How interesting!

    I love coffee, especially some of the holiday blends, including peppermint mocha, pumpkin spice and salted caramel. Or even a plain coffee if it is tasty. I don’t trust my awful sense of playing with spices myself as anything requiring mixing, reading a recipe and having it turns out well. Yours sounds very good!

    1. Thanks, Jeanie. Yours sounds really good, too!

    Not a coffee drinker but I do enjoy cappuccinos from my local Cumberland Farms (gas station/store here in the northeast)

    1. I’m familiar with Cumberland Farms, Cheryl. Sounds good!
