Heavenly coffee


So, I am on day 20 of a 9 week paleo challenge. I have only cheated on the diet a couple of times. And, honestly, if I am going to cheat, it is going to be for another glass of wine not for a gluten free cupcake. But, long slightly brutal workdays in my office this week has brought about a rich, delicious (dairy free) latte. We made these with coffee but, tea drinkers could easily do this with tea.

I am guessing at the measurements. Start with 16 oz of fresh brewed coffee. Do yourself a favor, buy great beans. In east Dallas, I recommend beans from Culitvar Coffee, White Rock Coffee, or Noble Coyote Coffee Roasters. Also, use a good spring water or filtered water. Put half of the coffee to your cup, add 1-2 tablespoons of coconut oil, 1/4 teaspoon of raw, 100% cacao powder, 1/8 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, and pinch of celtic sea salt. Blend with an immersion hand blender.

It is rich and decadent but not sweet. Have a cup and enjoy, Mom
