The first strained drops on the 21st day / Coffee Liqueur No. 3 (24.II.2011)

With the sudden availability of sugar through colonisation, new possibilities were there and as of the 16th and 17th centuries the use of liqueur for drinking pleasure had become the norm. Medicinal purposes were no longer priority. Then coffee arrived. Dozens of companies have developed their own recipes for coffee liqueur. Momentarily I am enjoying the first drops of my Coffee Liqueur No. 3

We humans have been eating and drinking perhaps longer than we are “humans”, but this deep-rooted ability and need of ours might still be something we do not completely understand. It is even more difficult to grasp what the industries mean, when they name what we are drinking. When it comes to juices, a nectar … Read more
