7 Epic Coffee Recipes

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Miami chapter.

If you’re anything like me, drinking that one (or three) generic cup of Joe in the morning can get boring. Miami is a beautiful melting pot with a world-class food and drink culture just waiting to be explored. We would be silly to overlook this opportunity, especially because Miami is known for its Cuban coffee!  If you are looking for new ways to spice up your coffee intake each morning, invest in some high-quality coffee and/or espresso and give these recipes a try!

 

 

Coconut Water Iced Coffee
Hello electrolytes! This coffee treat combines the best of 2 current trends: excessive coffee drinking and coconut water.  Prepare this and enjoy a sweet and refreshing treat. Find the recipe here.

Coffee Smoothie
Finally there is a solution for the days when you just can’t seem to decide between your breakfast smoothie and your coffee. Include some chocolate or vanilla protein powder and a banana in your morning coffee and you’ll have an energizing and filling breakfast to go.  Find the recipe here.

Coffee Overnight Oats
This one’s for the fellow lover of overnight oats. Incorporating coffee into the nightly oats routine is easy and effective. Be careful, this one’s addicting (read: DO NOT eat for breakfast, lunch, AND dinner).

Espresso Tonic
For this seemingly sophisticated twist on espresso, all that’s needed is, you guessed it, espresso and tonic! Word on the street is that citrusy espressos taste better than their chocolaty counterparts. Find the recipe here.

Coffee Bubble Tea
Overpriced boba is so last year. Make room for some homemade coffee bubble tea! Throw some tapioca pearls at the bottom of your cup, add in some iced coffee and enjoy this spin on a fan favorite treat.

Coffee Muffins
For the adventurous and domestic baker, there are coffee muffins. These are sure to be an essential at whatever late night study session you happen to be attending.

Coffee Liqueur
We all have those rough days. You know, the days when you’ve been up since 7 a.m. and still want to make it out with your girls at 11 p.m?  If this sounds like a frequent occurrence in your life, try this coffee liqueur to give you the variety of “buzzes” you so desperately need.

‘Tis the season to break out the coffee drinks and rally through the end of the semester with that all-important caffeine jolt. Cheers!
