I’m looking for something to spice up my hot chocolate or coffee. Know any good recipes?

Millions of people each day wake up and immediately reach for a fresh cup of coffee. Like brushing your teeth or taking a shower, coffee has become one of the first rituals to begin the day.

These days, everybody has a form of an iced coffee, even McDonalds. It couldn’t be too hard to make them. I would like to make them either sugar or fat free, if possible.

Cinnamon Caramel
Add the cinnamon before brewing to give this recipe spicy touch. You’ll need to stir well to blend in the caramel syrup.
INGREDIENTS:
* 6 tbs ground coffee
* 1/2 tsp cinnamon
* 1/2 cup caramel dessert syrup
PREPARATION:
Mix the cinnamon into your loose ground coffee and then brew a pot of coffee by whatever method you prefer. Add the caramel syrup to the cinnamon-spiced coffee, and stir well until completely dissolved.
Chill through in the fridge, and serve over ice cubes, with added milk or sugar to taste. The syrup makes this iced coffee pretty sweet as it is.
Coffee Soda
An interesting mix of rich creaminess and bubbly fizz. Kind of like a typical ice cream float, but with a few added touches of coffee and cream.
INGREDIENTS:
* 3 cups strong coffee, chilled
* 1 cup half & half
* 4 scoops coffee ice cream
* 3/4 cup club soda
* 1 tbs sugar
* Whipped cream
PREPARATION:
Mix coffee, sugar and half & half. Fill 4 tall glasses about halfway. Add 1 scoop of ice cream to each, then fill up with soda. Top with whipped cream.
Serves 4
Thai Iced Coffee
A very smooth recipe for an iced chai coffee. The spiciness of chai isn’t only for tea, you know. It’s a simple blend that won’t take you forever to put together. Spice up your coffee today.
INGREDIENTS:
* 2 tsp cardamom, ground
* 4 tbs sugar
* 4 tbs heavy cream
* 1 tsp almond extract
PREPARATION:
Use your favorite brewing method to make 4 cups of coffee, mixing the ground cardamom in with the grounds first. Add sugar and almond to the hot coffee, and mix until dissolved. Let cool. Half-fill 4 tall glasses with crushed ice, then fill up with chilled coffee.
Add a spoonful of cream to each, just before serving.
Serves 4

I want to make some healthy powdered creamer to keep at home for when we run out of milk.
I think storebought non-dairy creamer is unhealthy, but it is the main ingredient in every homeade creamer recipe I can find.

This family owned and operated doughnut shop in La Habra, Cal., has become what one customer calls “the Cheers coffee shop,” because it’s a place “where everybody knows your name.” And the owner roasts his own beans, right there behind the counter, filling the place with a wonderful aroma.

I had a great recipe but then I lost it. Does anyone have any recipes for homemade iced coffee using espresso coffee? Thank you!

This recipe had just a few ingredients, made in a layer cake pan w/ crumb topping. Not very sweet, but just right w/coffee or tea. Very quick to make with things most people have on hand. the recipe was in a very old cookbook, but can’t remember the name.

Does anyone know the recipe? If not for this drink how about any drink from Coffee Bean?
