Ethereal Elixer of Ebon Shadows

8 months ago (Edited)

It has been awhile between coffee recipes. I do try to get to these weekly; sometimes it just doesn't happen. That said, and if I may say so myself, I'm really making up for it with this week's recipe. It's really, really good.

I'm also not including a video, due to a complete lack of time. But I do have a fantastic photo instead!

Ethereal Elixir of Ebon Shadows

Ingredients

2 tablespoons coarsely ground Skeleton Brew's "Sepia Toned Spice" roast coffee (a pumpkin-flavored roast)
1 cups hot filtered water
2 tablespoons vanilla syrup
2 tablespoons hazelnut syrup
1 tablespoon chocolate syrup
Whipped cream
A sprinkle of cocoa powder

Instructions

Step 1: The Ethereal Beginnings

Embark on a journey of flavors with the Ethereal Elixir of Ebon Shadows—a warm coffee sensation that combines the spicy undertones of Skeleton Brew's Sepia Toned Spice roast with the sweet and nutty notes of vanilla and hazelnut. Begin by placing the coarsely ground coffee into your coffee maker or French press.

Step 2: The Midnight Brew

Pour the hot filtered water over the coffee grounds, ensuring every grain is immersed in the warmth. Allow the coffee to brew, letting the pumpkin flavors meld with the water's heat.

Step 3: The Symphony of Shadows

In a separate bowl, mix together the vanilla syrup, hazelnut syrup, and chocolate syrup. This concoction will weave a tapestry of flavors, creating a brew that's both hauntingly delicious and deeply comforting.

Step 4: The Ebon Pour

Pour the freshly brewed Sepia Toned Spice coffee into your favorite mug, filling it about three-quarters full. Drizzle in the Symphony of Shadows mixture, stirring gently to infuse the flavors.

Step 5: The Whipped Whisper

Crown your brew with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a soft, cloud-like contrast to the rich coffee below.

Step 6: The Cocoa Caress

Dust a hint of cocoa powder over the whipped cream, adding a touch of chocolatey depth to your Ethereal Elixir of Ebon Shadows.

Step 7: The Sip of Shadows

Lift the mug to your lips and take a sip. Let the flavors of pumpkin, vanilla, hazelnut, and chocolate envelop your senses, transporting you to a realm of cozy comfort and ethereal delight.
