How To Brew A Cup of Teeccino
|
Teeccino Herbal Coffee is made from a number of different ingredients each of
which is individually ground, roasted and then blended. Unlike coffee beans
which are ground to a specific size for each type of brewing method, herbal
coffee is a composite grind that works in all types of coffee brewing equipment
including drip coffee makers, French press pots, and espresso machines. The
following tips will help you brew a delicious cup of herbal coffee:
-
Always adjust quantities of Teeccino to your own preference. Just like coffee,
some people like it strong while others prefer it weaker. Experiment by making
several cups of Teeccino at different strengths to find the quantity that is
perfect for you.
-
Drip coffee makers brew Teeccino best with a "gold" or permanent filter. Paper
filters tend to brew slowly because the composite grind in herbal coffee may
have some fine particles that can clog the paper. Permanent gold filters save
trees and produce a better flavored brew because paper filters absorbs some
flavor.
Gold filters are easy to rinse clean and are available for both cone
and flat bottom coffee makers. Once you switch to gold filters, you'll never
again run out of filters!
-
Drink Teeccino anyway you enjoy coffee. You may like it black or with milk,
non-dairy milk or half & half if that is how you normally enjoy coffee.
Taste Teeccino first before adding sweetener. Teeccino is naturally sweet from
dates and figs so you may not need additional sweetener.
-
If you want the flavor of a cappuccino but don't have a cappuccino machine,
consider ordering the
Italian Stovetop Espresso Maker and the
Nissan Cappuccino Creamer in our
Brewing Tools section. You'll get just as fabulous a flavor and even
better foamy milk with half the work.

Brewing Teeccino with an Italian Stovetop Espresso Maker and Cappuccino Creamer
-
Brew "espresso strength" Teeccino in an Italian Stovetop Espresso Maker (buy here)
- Fill water chamber up to the rivet with cold, filtered water.
- Put one to two scoops of Teeccino into the filter basket and tamp with the back of the scoop.
- Screw on top chamber and place moka pot over medium flame.
- When you hear the moka pot begin to hiss, it is time to turn it off. Let it sit for a few moments until the hissing stops.
- Note: The Moka Pot comes with a strainer top with a knob on it. This is used if you only want to make 1/2 a pot. Fill the filter basket 1/2 full and place the strainer over the top.
-
Foam milk or soy milk in a Thermos Cappuccino Creamer (buy here).
- Heat milk or soy milk in the "Cappuccino Creamer" milk frother with the top removed.
- When hot, remove from the heat and replace the top
- Push the plunger up and down rapidly.
- The hot milk will froth up into a lovely foam. Tap the pot a few times and the bubble size will reduce to velvet foam!
-
Fill a cup 1/3 to 1/2 full with Teeccino. Top with frothed milk.
For Cappuccinos: add more foam than
milk. For Lattes: add hot milk and top with foam.

Iced Teeccino
Method One
-
Refrigerate brewed Teeccino. (Teeccino will last up to five days in the
refrigerator!)
-
Pour over ice and add cold milk or non-dairy milk. Sweeten to taste. If using
honey, sweeten when hot.
Method Two
- Fill a large glass 2/3rd full with ice
- Add 1/4 cup cold milk, or more, depending on taste
- Pour brewed Teeccino over the ice and milk. We reccomend brewing Teeccino stronger than normal so the melting ice won't dilute Teeccino too much
- Sweeten if needed
