Robin's FYI

Who says the only way to serve coffee is black, or with cream and sugar.

These recipes contain no liquor,  however page two has the recipes for Coffee with Spirit. What a great way to entrain friends, or just make one for your self. 

 

Coffee Recipes

There is as many ways to serve coffee as there is people! While we each have our favorite, it never hurts to try something different. 

On these pages you will find some great recipes that have been given to me by friends and online visitors. Just think how much money you will save not having to go out to some fancy coffee house, not to mention it a great way to impress your friends.  ;-)
