3 Festive, Easy Ways to Serve Teeccino!
Whether you’re hosting a large or small gathering this holiday season, you’ll want a quick way to serve a festive cup of Teeccino to accompany your desserts. After all that work of getting the dinner on the table, let’s keep it simple yet delicious! Here are three recipes I recommend to make a festive cup of Teeccino:
Maple Latte
- Brew a pot of Teeccino Turkey Tail Astragalus Toasted Maple (see brewing directions below).
- Add two tbsp maple syrup to each mug.
- Heat 12 oz milk or non-dairy milk on the stovetop or in a microwave until it is very hot but not scalded. Froth the hot milk with a handheld milk frother.
- Top with ground cinnamon or powdered cocoa to the foam and relax!
Peppermint Stick Teeccino
- Brew a pot of Teeccino Candy Cane
- Heat 12 oz milk or non-dairy milk on the stovetop or in a microwave until it is very hot but not scalded. Froth the hot milk with a handheld milk frother.
- Fill 4 mugs ⅔ full with brewed Teeccino and add 3 oz of hot milk to each cup and top with froth.
- Insert a peppermint stick or a peppermint patty.
- Make it a libation by adding 1 oz peppermint schnapps and 1/2 oz creme de cacao to each cup if desired.
Teeccino Libations
- Amaretto liqueur: Add ½ oz of Amaretto, ½ oz cinnamon syrup and a squeeze of orange to 6 oz hot brewed Teeccino. Top with hot frothed milk.
- Baileys® Irish Cream: Add 1-2 tablespoons to each cup of hot brewed Teeccino. Baileys® makes every flavor of Teeccino deliciously superb!
- Frangelico®: Add 1-2 tablespoons to each cup of hot brewed Teeccino. Absolutely divine with Teeccino Hazelnut!
- Godiva® Dark or Milk Chocolate Liqueur: Add 1-2 tablespoons to each cup of hot brewed Teeccino. Dark chocolate has no cream in it, milk chocolate does. You should use the dark chocolate liqueur for a richer chocolate flavor or the milk chocolate liqueur to take the place of regular milk. Chocolate heaven coming right up!
Brewing options
Fewer than 8 people: Use a drip coffee maker to make 10-12 cups of brewed Teeccino. For a strong brew, add 1 rounded tablespoon of Teeccino for every 2 cups of water. Add a tablespoon “for the pot” too for extra strength.
8-15 people: If your cup size is 8-10 oz, you’ll need to brew more than a single pot in your 10-12 cup drip coffee maker. Be efficient and brew 2 pots of Teeccino ahead of time. Store the brewed liquid in your refrigerator (you can store chilled Teeccino for a week or more!) and when you want to serve it, pour it into a pot and heat it up on your stove. Ladle the hot Teeccino into your cups. Alternatively, you can brew Teeccino an hour or two in advance and store it in an air pot.
16-60+ people: Brew 1 to 2 gallons of Teeccino using a coffee urn. Urns are sold based on the number of cups they serve, but remember that a coffee “cup” is only 5oz. An urn that is supposed to brew 100 cups, only brews 67 x 8 oz cups. That’s why I like to measure the water in gallons (128 fluid oz/gallon). 1 cup of Teeccino all-purpose grind brews 1 gallon in an urn. Use 2 cups to make 2 gallons. Couldn’t be simpler! Just pour a gallon of water into an urn and add 1 cup of Teeccino to the brew basket. Start your urn brewing at least 50 minutes ahead of the time when you want it to be ready. Urns make it easy to serve a lot of people at once.
