You got to trust us on this. This special iced coffee drink is fresh, bright, and bursting with deep rich chocolate flavor. When combined, this creamy citrus delight is refreshing and solves all your chocolate cravings, just like our Mexican Chocolate Cherry Smoothie. To toast the pecans, in a dry skillet on medium-low heat, cook one tablespoon chopped raw pecans until they almost (but not quite!) start to brown. Your nose is the best indicator- as soon as you start to smell them, they are about finished. I don't know why you'd drink that rubbish anyway! It was fine in the 80s and maybe 90s, I feel that many in the UK didn't know any better! These coffee can upcycles are some of my favorite projects – mostly because I go through so many coffee cans every year.

We know what you are thinking! Coffee and orange juice together in one cup? Really? You got to be kidding, right?

I like coffee. In fact, I am not sure I could survive a day without it. I like to mix it up with my different fun flavored creamers for different tastes. So, when Seattle’s Best Coffee mailed me the goodies to make Orange Coffee, I was pretty intrigued. Yes, I said ORANGE and Coffee. It doesn’t turn orange, don’t worry 😉 But it does give it a tasteful twist on your favorite brew. I strongly recommend trying a slice of my Orange & Banana Bundt Cake to go with it, it’s a match made in heaven! When ready, strain the liquid through a coffee filter (or use other previously mentioned option) and you are done! All you need to do is enjoy it the way you like. I used French press. If you don’t have a grinder but still want to try this, follow this ratio: Steep 2 tablespoons ground coffee (use measuring spoon for best results) to 1 cup of water (15 grams to 250 milliliters). Drink as is or add a sweetener of your choice. There are plenty of options: Regular sugar, brown or dark muscovado sugar for a more robust flavor, maple or agave syrup, honey just to name a few.

I was in there looking for nothing in particular, my favourite way to shop at the budget spot, when I spotted my favourite coffee. With bright orange lid and chrome tub, I'd recognise Nescafe Azera anywhere. But wait.I should say products rather than brands. Nescafé's Azera is light years ahead of the basic Nescafé. But of course there's also freeze dried coffee from Douwe Egberts, Cafe Direct or supermarket own brands off the top of my head. If you are doing a K-Cup, you will put the zest in a small metal strainer and put it over your coffee cup. Hit brew and that’s it!
