Recipe #7: How Do You Spell Foul Coffee? H-O-N-E-Y

The foul coffee with the delicious portion of my breakfast, my fresh bagel from New York Bagel and Bialy's in Skokie.

I don't know what happened this week.  I had intended to make Matzo Ball soup from scratch and be very hard-core.  However, every time I was going to make it, something came up.  So, this recipe, from my Taste of Home cookbook was a backup.

It started off with tons of ingredients that I love: coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg, honey, vanilla and milk.  However, not even this all-star combo could save this drink.

You would think that this team would be rock-solid.  However, you would be wrong.

I mixed up the ingredients in a saucepan, and divided it into two mugs.  My beau and I toasted our fancy-coffee breakfast.

A happy toast, before I realized that the honey had betrayed me. 

However, my satisfaction was short-lived, as all I tasted was honey.  I did not like my honey-milk, which I could not get to taste like either coffee or fall spices.  My beau finished his, whether out of politeness/obligation or actually liking it, I am not clear.

In the future, I will leave the fancy coffee preparation to the baristas at Starbucks.
