I do adore to invite my best friends and chat with them while drinking delicious coffee with cinnamon. Here is my recipe.

coffee recipe

You will need:

  • Cinnamon sticks
  • Pot hot coffee
  • Sugar
  • Whipped cream
  • Cinnamon

How to cook:

Make a coffee (I won’t write a recipe, since it’s your party and you are highly welcome to make coffee you like). Take the needed quantity of cups (I take 4). Place 1 stick of cinnamon in each of 4 coffee cups and add the hot coffee. Then add a dollop of whipped cream and spread some cinnamon

It will take you only a couple of  minutes to make this coffee!

Mmm, yummy and delicious!

Love alcohol? Then you should try the following Vietnamese snake wine with a massive snake or Scorpio in it. Brr, looks really terrible and I would never try one.

Just one look at those bottles makes me vomiting, it must be really awful – to drink wine or vodka with a snake in it. Such wine is for rich people only. According to the encyclopedia, snake wine is a special alcoholic beverage that contains the whole venomous snake in the bottle. Nowadays it can be found around Southeast Asia.

The main idea of these drinks, is not snake meat, but the snake poison dissolved in the liquor. Don’t be afraid the drink is completely safe since the snake venom is denatured by the ethanol. Ax a rule, people drink this wine as a restorative in small shots or cups. Most people believe these wines can cure a number of diseases.

Oh my God, it looks really awful!

And do you have enough place to put your machine? I think the answer on to the second question will be  – NO. I guess that is exactly the idea behind the creation of the mypressi TWIST world’s first entirely portable espresso machine.

Mypressi TWIST coffee machine

What I like the most about this machine is the way it looks: stylish, small, sleek and portable device, that can be literally placed everywhere. Then – the machine produces high quality and really tasty espresso ensuring portability and freedom.

The mypressi uses the same ground coffee as usual machines but it doesn’t require pumping and compressing processes, also it is a pure pleasure to wash and clean it. The TWIST comes with a pneumatic engine that ensures incredible coffee.
