When we think about coffee, we usually imagine that soothing aroma<\/a> as well as the taste of this delicious beverage. For the most part, coffee is enjoyed warm but ice coffee is also very popular. Especially in the warmer months. Of course, there are some other coffee uses that you may not already be aware of.<\/p>\n

Barbecue sauce<\/h2>\n

Possibly one of the strangest coffee uses of all is as an ingredient in your next batch of barbecue sauce. Coffee helps thin out the consistency of the sauce and it also adds an amazing twist to the flavour.<\/p>\n

Dress up your salad<\/h2>\n

Another one of the stranger coffee uses is as a salad dressing. You can mix it up with some vinegar and maple syrup to create the perfect contrast of flavours. Remember, you don’t want to add too much. Just enough to impact the flavour of the salad dressing slightly.<\/p>\n

Sweet surprise<\/h2>\n

One of the most popular coffee uses is in sweet recipes like cakes, desserts and puddings. There are so many scrumptious coffee biscuit, cake and other dessert recipes available. You can even add coffee to your favourite caramel or banana dessert recipe, for instance. Remember, you will need to reduce the amount of one of the other liquid ingredients when adding coffee so that you still achieve the same consistency in the end.<\/p>\n

Satisfying syrup<\/h2>\n

If you fancy drizzling some coffee syrup over your favourite pudding or ice cream, you can make your own by boiling strong coffee and adding an equal amount of sugar before you bring the mixture to a boil. You need to allow the mixture to simmer for about 10 to 15 minutes or until it becomes thick. It will thicken further once it cools. Your syrup is now ready to use!<\/p>\n

As you can tell, there are plenty of interesting coffee uses that will make your dishes that much more appealing and it will give them a more intricate flavour. So, the next time you make a cup or brew a pot of coffee, you should consider taking a few extra steps to include it in various other dishes you plan on serving that day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
