According to Dr. Atkins, caffeine is not on the Atkins Diet. But I can’t live without it, so we’ve come up with killer delicious recipes. And there are some interesting dieters testimonials that indicate while it sometimes can create a low carb diet plateau, it can also help shove someone off a diet plateau and back into weight loss. The following recipes use a French press. Sometimes called a bistro pot, press pot, or cafetiere in Europe, the French press brewing method is spreading like wildfire through the gourmet community, as the preferred way to prepare the finest coffees (even Oprah has recommended it). It's a great alternative to traditional espresso or cappuccino coffee drinks. A French press delivers more of the essence and body of the bean than any other method. Our trademarked French Cappuccino™ is an exciting new gourmet coffee experience, combining our gourmet Maui or Colorado Coffees with French press brewing, flavoring, and topped with our sweet, flavored whipped cream. This creates an exciting taste sensation, in which you experience the distinct natural flavors of the coffee, coffee flavoring, and the special whipped cream - combining them as you sip. It's both fun and delicious. Served hot in the winter, iced in the summer. We adults don't get to have the same fun we once enjoyed as children. Enjoying little "thrills" like this, can help us retain our sanity in our busy stressful lives, and keep us off the streets and away from automatic weapons in the workplace (that's an attempt at humor). Brew coffee in a French press for 4 minutes. Plan ahead for the 2 flavors you want to combine. For instance, you could put a mint flavoring in the coffee or whipped cream container and a Chocolate flavor in the other. Experiment. Try it with our sugar free marshmallow creme! After brewing, add sweetener & 2 caps of our aged vanilla extract (per cup), or the Da Vinci flavored zero carb Splenda sweetened syrup of your choice. Squirt on your flavored whipped cream next. Sprinkle on condiments if desired. Sip & enjoy the delightful taste sensation of blending the coffee & flavored cream as you sip! Follow the same directions as above, except use room temperature water to brew the coffee in the French press, for 5 minutes. Ice the brew in the fridge ahead of time if possible, and add ice, before you add the topping. |
