Categories     Hot Drinks

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 3

2 cups chocolate chips, white chocolate chips or candy melts
40 disposable plastic spoons
2 tsp solid shortening (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Cover cookie sheets with waxed paper. Place one cup of chocolate chips or candy melts in heat-proof measuring cup. A smaller, deeper cup gives best results. Microwave chocolate chips or candy melts at 50% power for 1 minute. Remove cup and stir. Continue microwaving at 50% power, stirring every 30 seconds, until chocolate is melted and smooth. DO NOT over-heat chocolate. To thin chocolate, add 1 teaspoon solid shortening per cup of chocolate chips. Stir gently. Dip plastic spoons in melted chocolate to cover the bowl of the spoon. Remove excess chocolate by tapping tip gently against the side of the measuring cup. If chocolate thickens, return to the microwave for 30 seconds at 50% power, stir gently. Repeat with second cup of chocolate chips or candy melts. Cool thoroughly before wrapping individually.

Tips:

  • Use the right coffee spoon. A coffee spoon is typically smaller than a teaspoon, holding about 2 grams of ground coffee. Using the correct spoon ensures you add the right amount of coffee to your brew.
  • Grind your coffee beans fresh. Freshly ground coffee beans release more flavor and aroma than pre-ground coffee. If you can, grind your beans just before brewing.
  • Measure your coffee accurately. The amount of coffee you use will affect the strength of your brew. Experiment with different amounts to find your preferred strength.
  • Use filtered or spring water. Hard water can contain minerals that can alter the taste of your coffee. If you have hard water, consider using filtered or spring water for brewing.
  • Pay attention to the water temperature. The ideal water temperature for brewing coffee is between 195°F and 205°F (90°C and 96°C). Water that is too hot can extract bitter flavors from the coffee, while water that is too cold will not extract enough flavor.
  • Steep the coffee for the right amount of time. The steeping time will depend on the type of coffee you are brewing. A general rule of thumb is to steep drip coffee for 4-6 minutes and French press coffee for 3-5 minutes.
  • Serve your coffee hot. Coffee is best enjoyed hot. If you let it cool down, it will lose its flavor and aroma.

Conclusion:

Making a perfect cup of coffee is an art that takes time and practice. By following these tips, you can create a delicious cup of coffee that will satisfy your taste buds and help you start your day off right. Experiment with different coffee beans, brewing methods, and flavors to find the perfect cup of coffee for you.
