Coffee
This isn't just any coffee; it's a warm hug in a mug, made with simple, whole-food ingredients that elevate your morning ritual.
I’ve always had a soft spot for a good cup of coffee.
Growing up, I’d watch my dad brew his morning cup, the aroma filling the kitchen like a comforting blanket.
Now, I love crafting my own version that’s rich and satisfying but also respects our beautiful planet.
My secret?
I use fresh, whole coffee beans and add a touch of cinnamon for warmth and health benefits.
Trust me, it makes all the difference!

Ingredients & Substitutions
Using whole coffee beans makes a world of difference in flavor and freshness! If you find coffee too bitter, try adjusting the grind size or the steeping time. For a creamier texture, I often use oat milk, but almond milk is also a wonderful choice.
Tips & Notes
- •I keep my coffee beans in an airtight container to keep them fresh for longer.
- •Experiment with different spices like nutmeg or cardamom for a unique twist!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes I’ll add a splash of vanilla extract for a little extra flavor.
- •On cold mornings, I love to blend my coffee with a banana and a touch of cocoa powder for a warming smoothie.
Storage & Freezing
If you have leftover coffee, you can store it in the fridge for a day or two. Just reheat gently on the stove or in the microwave, and add a splash of fresh milk.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use decaf coffee beans?
Absolutely! If you prefer decaf for any reason, it works just as wonderfully. You still get the ritual and comfort without the caffeine.

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by grinding your whole coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. If you don’t have a grinder, you can buy pre-ground coffee, but freshly ground is always better.
- 2
In a pot, bring your filtered water to a boil. Once it’s bubbling, remove it from heat.
- 3
Add the ground coffee and cinnamon (if using) to the hot water. Stir gently to mix everything.
- 4
Let this steep for about 4 minutes. The longer you let it steep, the stronger your coffee will be.
- 5
After steeping, strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve or a coffee filter into your favorite mugs.
- 6
Pour in your non-dairy milk and sweeten with maple syrup to taste. Give it a gentle stir.
- 7
Enjoy your homemade coffee, perhaps with a cozy blanket or while watching the sunrise!
