January may traditionally be the season of denial, with diets and budgeting figuring largely in everyone’s calendars, but we believe that it’s not a good idea to squeeze all the fun out of life! You’re much more likely to stick to a plan if you allow yourself the occasional lapse, and after all, we all need our spirits lifting at this time of year. If you need a quick pick-me-up, try one of these instant-cheerer-upper recipes.
Black forest coffee
A coffee that models itself on a cake – what more could you ask for? To make one to two cups, you’ll need:
– 250ml strong, fresh black coffee
– 1 good tablespoon chocolate syrup
– 1 tablespoon cherry liqueur, such as Kirsch
– Maraschino cherries
– Chocolate flakes
– Whipped cream to taste
Pour the coffee into one large or two small cups, preferably glass. Stir in the chocolate syrup and cherry liqueur, then add a spoonful of whipped cream on top. Garnish with chocolate sprinkles and a cherry or two on a cocktail stick.
Creme brulee coffee
More pudding-themed coffees, bring it on! To make one to two cups, you’ll need:
– 250ml strong, fresh black coffee
– 1 good tablespoon caramel syrup
– Whipped cream to taste
– 1/2 teaspoon Demerara sugar
Pour the coffee into one large or two small cups, preferably glass. Stir in the caramel syrup and spoon the whipped cream over the top. Sprinkle over the sugar and serve.
