Use a medium heat for the syrup mixture.

When you boil the sugar, cinnamon, and water on the stove, use a medium heat.

The mixture should start to boil after about a minute or two since it’s such a small batch. Let it continue to boil at medium heat for about two to three minutes, or until it starts to thicken. It won’t thicken very much, but will have a syrup-like texture.

You’ll only use some of the syrup mixture.

This recipe may be Starbucks-inspired, but it’s certainly not as sweet as the OG. I’m not a huge fan of sugary drinks, so I don’t use quite as much syrup as Starbucks.

If you use just about 1 tablespoon (or less if you prefer) of the yield in the below recipe, it still tastes just as yummy.

Serve in a high ball glass to take the presentation to the next level.

I got a little creative with this drink and put it in a high ball glass to make it look fancy. There’s no alcohol, but it elevates the presentation.

Also, instead of adding whipped cream, I sprinkled a few coconut shreds on top with a couple of cinnamon sticks. You can also put a cinnamon stick or two in the final drink for an extra kick.

After all, cinnamon does have a number of wonderful health benefits.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee 

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former). 

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee. 

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!

⁣
When coffee is paired properly, you’re able to taste enhanced flavors of both the coffee and the food. Foods that are buttery, such as this apple tart, are excellent companions. The coffee intensifies and complements the buttery sweetness of the crust, making for a perfect match.
⁣
Try pairing an apple tart with a full-bodied light roast such as Intelligentsia’s Frequency Blend. This blend has tasting notes of dried fruit, almond, and milk chocolate so you get the best of both worlds.
Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee Today’s brew is from my all-time favorite coffee shop — Bradbury’s located in Madison, Wisconsin. This coffee shop turned me into a coffee snob. I’ve yet to find an equivalent bright cup of coffee anywhere else.
⁣
When I was home for the holidays, I bought a bag of their seasonal blend by Ruby’s Colorful Coffees. This blend consists of beans from El Salvador and Ethiopia. I tried these beans with an AeroPress and an espresso machine. I much prefer it as espresso, as Bradbury’s bright & distinguished flavors really pop when properly extracted this way.
