Brewing Coffee with Ground Cinnamon Blossoms / シナモンの花とともに挽いていれるコーヒー

in Cinnamon Cup Coffee3 days ago

I thought this was the perfect title and topic to share on Cinnamon Cup Coffee.

Last year, my daughter and my favorite spice vendor had a booth at the Christmas market. My daughter loves trying all kinds of spices there. After tasting a few, the favorite turned out to be cinnamon blossoms! The shopkeeper kindly ground some with a coffee mill, and when we tasted it, it had a lovely cinnamon scent and a natural sweetness.

My daughter still snacks on the crunchy blossoms from time to time, but I love grinding them together with coffee beans and brewing a cup. It tastes sweet even without any sugar.

Each blossom looks like this.

Today I used a Makita drill to grind them. The top of my Hario mill is hexagonal, so I bought a matching drill bit, which makes it easy to grind coffee or spices quickly. And when I feel like taking it slow, I just use the handle and grind by hand.

I enjoyed a delicious morning cup on the balcony.

If you ever come across dried cinnamon blossoms, I really recommend giving them a try. I’ve become a big fan of this coffee and will definitely buy more if I find that spice shop again.

Have a nive week!

ぴったりのタイトルとトピックだと思って、Cinnamon Cup Coffeeに投稿します。

昨年クリスマスマーケットに顔馴染みのスパイス屋さんが出店していました。子供がここでいろいろなスパイスを試すのが大好きなんですよね。あれこれ試して、気に入ったのが、シナモンの花!店員さんがコーヒーミルで挽いてくれて、口の中に入れるとほのかにシナモンの香りがして甘いのなんの。

子供はカリカリ時々思い出しては食べているのですが、私はこれをコーヒー豆と一緒に挽いてコーヒーを淹れるのが大好きです。お砂糖を入れていないのに甘いんですよね。

一つ一つはこんな感じです。

今日はMakitaのドリルで挽きました。Harioのミルの受け側が六角になっていて、ぴったりのビットを買ってドリルで楽々高速にコーヒーやスパイスを挽けるようにしました。ゆったり手で挽きたいときはハンドルで手回しすればOK!

おいしくバルコニーで朝の一杯を楽しみました。

もし乾燥させたシナモンの花を見かけたら、ぜひ試してみてください。私はこのコーヒーにはまりにはまって、またスパイス屋さんを見つけたら買い足そうと思っています。

Interesting! My first time to know that coffee tastes better with cinnamon blossoms. How amazing that it tastes sweet even without adding sugar. Cinnamon also has health benefits. Thank you for sharing another way of enjoying the deliciousness of coffee.

My pleasure! I didn't know it until last Christmas 😉 A lot of food and drinks to explore in our life 💪
