Coffee Cuisine

One of the characteristics of the coffee bean is that it ferments well. Fermentation is the process of making alcohol from organics with a high sugar content. The word "qahwa" in Arabic means wine. Qahwa is the origin of the word coffee. In Europe, coffee was called "the wine of Arabia." Fermenting the coffee berry is still done today in Ethiopia and some Arabian countries. It is not commonly known that the coffee berry can be fermented.

Reserve a little spice to garnish or mix a little extra. tip: your cup up-side down and dip it in the sauce pan; it is sweet and helps to coat the cup in spices.

Combine spices in small sauce pan and mix in butter until bubbling and add sugar slowly to pan until bubbly. Remove from heat for a couple minutes and add half the rum Wisk gently for a second.

Season your cup in spices one half of the rim as well, Divide the remaining rum, and top with piping hot coffee. Garnish with Lot’s of very fresh whipped cream and your orange twist.
