No lemon - old school. My grandmother who lived until 99 drank hot water. My mother drank hot water. I drink hot water. Good for digestion. (Lemon can upset stomach). I would share the hot water recipe but it's confidential.
Chocolate milk is what I put in my coffee, low fat is preferred but but whichever is priced best (and has the farthest out 'use by' date) is what I go with. The aroma in that building must have been like an aromatherapy treat!
i adore these farmers!! "When I start milking at 3:30 in the morning, I need the caffeine," said Mr. Davenport. "I use Folgers Instant. We have 180-degree water that we wash up with, so I use the hot water to make a little instant, put a little sugar in, and right now I'm using a cow called 'Peacock,' —a 5% butterfat Holstein—and I squirt the milk right in. It foams up really well. I can make a homemade latte just like that!" and his pic reminded me of a riotously funny documentary film from back in the 80's (made in Vermont by Vermonter of course!) about a genuine and uninhibited farmer anme of Fred Tuttle you need to search it out and it make take a few extra pots of caffeine: "Man with a Plan"
Haha. Great ending. Instant coffee with milk. A crazy way to drink coffee. My dad and step ma have been instant devotees for 60 years. When the kids were little and they’d stay with us I had to have instant coffee for them. Needless to say one container lasted years.
Mr Hernandez did not disclose the real reason why cafes tend to opt of coconut milk. It doesn’t froth well. Coconut milk is my go to and the times I’ve had a decaf latte the baristas have told me this little known fact. Hubby made me one at home and it was true. No frothage.
I am old enough to remember when there was one milk alternative on the market -- and it tasted like liquid cardboard. But as a very lactose intolerant person, it was heaven.
And now there is oat milk, which is amazeballs. (I won't comment on lattes made with coconut milk. Nope, not going there!)
Thanks for the late buzz to my day! You'll be interested to know that there's a cafe in Nelson, BC, that sells dandelion lattes. The town is populated by hairy-armpitted-tree-planting-downward-dog-dog-walkers who love hyperlocal, organic everything. It tasted like chicken broth somehow? It was a one and done but I was glad for the experience. Thanks for the great read. The Peacock latte was my fave. Of all the coffees I've nursed around the world, the cafe con leches along the Camino Frances in Spain were consistently the best engine starters. What's the best cup that you've had abroad?
Coconut milk was the first non-dairy milk! Woah! I'm so happy I was drinking coffee while reading this post, Anne. Otherwise, I would have had to make more!
Another terrific read. (I remember my first taste of cow’s milk direct from the udder. An acquired taste. But would work well with instant coffee!!) Such a shame I can no longer tolerate caffeine. Thank goodness decaf coffee tastes so good these days. 🤗🤗
The alt-milk arms race heats up! Having the lead when the cow situation comes to a head will be lucrative. Or second place, really. You can see the tipping point from here.
Another awesome issue, Anne! I am embarrassed to admit that I can only drink decaf ever since having some crazy heart palpitations several years ago when drinking the leaded variety. Unleaded isn’t the same but Peet’s dark roast decaf “Major Dickason’s Blend” (must find out who he is) is pretty tasty. In my humble opinion, only half and half is suitable for a cup o’ Joe, so I loved your comments to Mr. H. My parents used to give our dog Bitsy her own saucer of coffee with cream every morning when I was a child and she had no visible side effects. Lucky dog!

" I hate it when my pets eat each other." 🤣🤣🤣 Could I love this newsletter any more? NO! I giggled all the way through this one. Soooo good! 👏👏👏

When you can order a cococano with anaerobic beans at Dunkin’ you’ll know the gillenials have taken over.

Great report! Thank you! I don't drink coffee or tea - I drink hot water (boring!).
What an interesting show you got to see! How fun! Coffee is the elixir of the Gods!
