Cooking with coffee adds a distinct flavour to desserts, but when adding to meats bring out the flavour of the meat itself, without changing the original flavour.
Freeze leftover coffee into ice cubes to be used in ice coffees,stews & sauces.
A pinch of salt added to coffee will help to combat some acidic coffees. Coffee can be spiced up with cinnamon, all spice & nutmeg, adding lemon will give it a zingy flavour.
Like garlic the smaller the grind of the coffee the stronger it will be.
