Spiced Christmas Gingerbread Coffee With Cognac Chantilly Cream

2008-11-06T20:50:00.000-08:00

Ingredients

Gingerbread Syrup

2 cups water
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
2 1/2 teaspoons ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Coffee

1/2 scoop fresh ground coffee, per person (in the coffee filter machine)
water

Cognac Chantilly Cream Topping

10 fluid ounces whipping cream
2 tablespoons cognac
2 tablespoons icing sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, plus extra to sprinkle
cinnamon stick, for stirrers

Directions

Gingerbread Syrup.
Make the gingerbread syrup by combining water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon and vanilla in a medium saucepan. Be sure the pan is not too small or the mixture could easily bubble over.
Bring mixture to a boil then reduce heat and simmer the syrup, uncovered, for about 15 minutes. Remove the syrup from the heat when it's done - thickened, glossy and clear - and then cover it. This can now be stored in a bottle or jar in the fridge for about a month.
4
Gingerbread Coffee.
Make the fresh coffee in your coffee filter machine to personal taste - I have suggested 1/2 scoop of medium blend coffee per person for a tall mug of coffee.
Just before serving the gingerbread coffees, whip the cream with a hand held mixer until it just holds its shape - then add the cognac, cinnamon and icing sugar and whip until it is firm. If you have a cream siphon - decant the cream into the siphon for piping later.
When you are ready to serve the gingerbread coffees, pour some fresh coffee into each tall mug until about two thirds full; add a tablespoon of ginger syrup and stir the coffee - taste it and adjust the flavour by adding more syrup if needed. Then carefully spoon or pipe the cream on to the top of the coffee. Sprinkle with ground cinnamon and serve with a cinnamon stick as a stirrer!
If you have any cream left over - make another gingerbread coffee!

Raw Epicurean Beverages - 101 Fresh Organic Recipes (Kindle Edition)

2008-11-06T20:47:00.000-08:00

This is a great recipe book (I hesitate to call it a cookbook because there's no cooking involved), but it doesn't work well on a Kindle. Recipe books are essentially reference books - you don't read them front to back then put them on the shelf, you flip back and forth through them. You look up what you want in the index and go directly to it. If there's a way to do that easily with the Kindle I don't know it. To make a recipe book work on a Kindle it needs to have a list of recipes at the beginning with a link to each one - scan through the recipes, scroll to the one you want, click and you're there. Add that to this book and I'll give it 4 stars.
