Mate rocks -- I went out with a girl who lived in Argentina for a year, had her own bombilla & that.
Avoid the mate soda, though, it bites.
Grant - Thai coffee sounds interesting...can you give us some more detail as to ingredients and proportions?
Hmm. Well, lemme think. For a pot of around 8 cups of coffee, I crush about 10 small cardamon (cardamom?) pods and maybe a half a teaspoon of cloves, maybe a full one. Sometimes I add some ground cinnamon, but it's almost always too much. The pepper, maybe half a teaspoon. I dunno. It's best with lots and lots of sugar & either half&half or evaporated milk -- not condensed milk, as you might expect.
Those ingredients might be a bit off, too -- I always intend to add that much, chuck in a little extra, and then regret going overboard. |
