5 Deluxe Coffee Recipes

Hey everyone, welcome back to HGTV Handmade with me, Meg, someone who loves coffee as much as Lorelie Gilmore. I need coffee to have a good day. I need coffee to get up out of bed in the morning. I need coffee to person. I do love a deluxe, really delicious artisanal cup of coffee, but who is trying to spend ten dollars and who has time to go to a coffee house in the morning? It's hard enough to boil water. So I'm going to show you five very easy ways to make your morning coffee routine simple, easy, totally next level. When you have a couple friends over for brunch and you make them this coffee, they are not even going to know what happened. They're going to wonder why you don't have your own show on HGTV. For the best brew, using fair trade beans, a glass carafe, non-bleached filters, and filtered water is going to provide the cleanest taste and most environmentally friendly option. But these following tips will make even instant coffee taste delish. But please don't drink instant coffee. For the best iced coffee, add one and a half cups of coffee grounds to a large pitcher of eight cups of water. Cover and let sit at room temperature overnight. Strain mixture through a non-bleached filter or cheesecloth. Fill an empty ice cube tray with the coffee. Place the ice cube tray in the freezer until completely frozen. Store coffee in the fridge until ready to drink. For a healthier option than regular milk and a smoother, richer taste, you can use coconut or almond milk as your creamer. Make your own deluxe, delicious flavored creamer by combining 14 ounces of sweetened condensed milk, one and three-fourths of a cup of milk or cream, and two teaspoons of alcohol-free vanilla extract. You could also use coconut or hazelnut extract or chocolate syrup to make your creamer in the flavor you want. Serve in a bottle. Store in a covered jar. Make your own vanilla whipped cream by pouring one cup of heavy whipping cream, three tablespoons of sugar, and one teaspoon of vanilla into a bowl. Whisk for about four minutes or until your arm fully cramps up. Until you create soft peaks like this. You can store in fridge for a few hours. Kick it up to the next level and satisfy your sweet tooth by creating a toppings bar of chocolate chips, kisses, cookie crumbs, maybe even some pretzels, and now you have all the elements you need to make the perfect cup of coffee.
