and here are 5 ways to cook with coffee that I GUARANTEE you’ve not done before!

1 - COWBOY COFFEE BBQ RUB

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tbsp finely ground coffee beans
  • 1 tbsp smoked paprika
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp dried chilli flakes

    2 - COFFEE BUTTER

    INGREDIENTS:

    • 2 cups double cream
    • 3/4 cup finely ground coffee
    • 2 tbsp icing sugar
    • 1/2 tsp sea salt
    • Cheesecloth (to strain the butter)

      METHOD:

      In a tall airtight container, add the double cream and mix in the ground coffee until combined. Close the lid and refrigerate overnight.

      Strain the coffee mixture, making sure to push through as much milk fat as possible, while keeping out the sediment.

      Discard the ground coffee and transfer the strained liquid into a food processor.

      Add the sugar and sea salt and spin the mixture until the fat forms into butter and the liquid separates.

      Transfer the mixture onto a large cheesecloth and wring out the remaining liquid.

      Use immediately or store in the fridge for when you need it.
