I sit every morning at my computer in my lovely studio in the heart of downtown Wauconda. I answer emails and check updates on Facebook, while sipping the most perfect cup of coffee – now what makes this cup so perfect has taken some time to perfect.  First it starts with the coffee and I have used Rogers Family Coffee now for over 5 years. I like the the 3-pound bag of Organic San Franscisco Rainforest. I am not a fan of strong coffees – this is fairly mild. I use 1 T per 8 oz of water – the water I use s Mountain Valley Spring, I have this water delivered to my home (and studio) in 2.5 gallon glass bottles.  While the coffee is brewing I add hot water in my Thermos mug and let sit for 10 minutes. Now the “putting” together of that perfect cup – empty the hot water – pour about 1/3 cup of coffee in your favorite mug. I add to this 1 T of coconut oil, now stir until coconut oil is blended. I then add (and this is based on how you take your coffee)  1 T simple syrup and 2 T raw heavy whipping cream – and stir until those ingredients are blennded. Add the remainder of the brewed coffee. It is my opinion that coffee needs to be hot and this method has proven successful for me. Enjoy!
