Over the years I’ve tried to perfect the art of making a hot beverage that can wake me up and keep me going for a long time when it does it. For years I swore off coffee but then I found Maca and my life changed. Maca gave me that extra boost without causing a crash when mixed with caffeine.
These days I don’t brew up coffee often but when I do this is how it goes. I highly recommend others try this “recipe.”
You’ll need...
-Whole High Quality Coffee Beans (the most important part of course, low quality equals nasty flavor and jittery effect)
-Maca Root, whole or powder
-Cacao nibs
-Cinnamon
-Coconut oil, unfiltered
-Ghee
-Whole milk, or milk alternative
-Honey or some banana
You’ll also want a pour over coffee maker and an immersion blender. I also use an electric kettle to get the water hot.
First things first take the exact amount of beans you need for your cup and toss into a grinder. Add in a pinch of cacao nibs. Grind to your liking.
Place the ground material into your pour over, add a 1/4 teaspoon of powder yellow Maca (or more but I find this amount is perfect). Get your water to a good rolling boil and then take it off heat and count to 50 in your head to allow it to cool.
Pour the water over the material, as you do so never allow the filter and ground material to completely drain of liquid. The oils will float on top and so long as you keep some water in there this will minimize the oils getting down into the brew.
I typically do three pours and discard before it fully drains on the last pour.
Now while you were doing this get yourself a cup prepared. Nothing worst than pouring your hot drink into a cold cup and losing that warmth. Get your sink running hot water and run the cup under it to get it nice and warm then fill it with the hot water and let it sit.
Once brewed dump the hot water out and you have a nice warm cup to pour your fresh brewed coffee in. Pour it in. Add a whopping tablespoon of coconut oil and the same or a little less of ghee. Add the cinnamon, a dash of milk, and the honey and/or half of a banana for sweetness.
With the immersion blender go to town and blend the whole mix together. Then enjoy...
The reason this drink is so good on energy. You’ve got optimal amounts of coffee, cacao, Maca, and cinnamon all which have stimulating properties, which is then blended with all the fats and possibly banana if you go that route to give it a slower onset and longer duration.
A normal cup of coffee might last me 1-4 hours. This drink will have you going all day.
