Every now and then, I like to rebel against myself just a bit. It's my version of shocking behavior.
So you see, I don't normally like my tea or coffee in any form but black. But lately? I've been zesting up my beverages with a little drizzle of Lemon Cinnamon Syrup. Just a little kick to shake things up a bit.
Feeling a little punchy, yourselves? Wanna' be the Thelma to my Louise? Boil up 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar and toss in some lemon peel and cinnamon sticks. Once at a boil, simmer for a few minutes and cool. Keep in fridge and use sparingly ... it's very concentrated.
Wouldn't it be good with blended ice, strong coffee, and milk? What the heck. What if we were really naughty, ditched the milk, and used ... heavy cream??? Bwwwaaahaaaahaaaa ... Come on girls, tell me what crazy concoction you'd mix up with it. I'm just sure you like a little spice in your days too ...
