MOO Flavoured Coffee Beans

With Father's Day just a couple of weeks away I thought I'd share this recipe for flavoured coffee beans. If you have a dad who loves his coffee and has everything he needs and wants, they may be the ideal gift for him this year. Team them with a coffee mug of his very own and you'll have a gift that's sure to bring a smile to his face.

MOO Flavoured Coffee Beans
You will need:
A glass jar with a screw-top lid
500g coffee beans
Flavouring of choice (vanilla beans, cinnamon sticks, whole nutmegs, cardamon pods, whole cloves, dried orange peel)

Step 1. Put the coffee beans in the jar.

Step 2. Add your flavouring:

Vanilla beans - 3 whole beans, split
Cinnamon sticks - 2 whole sticks, crushed (flatten them with a knife blade)
Nutmeg - 2 whole, crushed
Cloves - 1/2 teaspoon whole cloves
Orange peel - 2 or 3 x 5cm strips
Hazelnut - 1/4 cup crushed hazelnuts (flatten them with a knife blade to release the oils that contain the flavour)

Step 3. Put the lid on the jar. Shake well. Store in a dark cupboard for at least one week to infuse the flavours - longer if you want a stronger flavouring to your coffee.

Step 4. Once the flavours have developed remove the flavourings. Store the coffee beans in a dry, dark cupboard to keep the flavour fresh.

Use them as you would unflavoured coffee beans in a plunger or dripolator.
