A Day In The Life Of A Cat

Best of Both

It's funny, Monday it rained and was *cold*..... yesterday and today it's been sunny and pleasantly warm. It's hard to know what to expect. Monday I was drinking hot tea and today I'm thinking about an icey cool citrus drink. I thought I'd post a few recipes that are sure to suit whatever kind of day you are having.

Whipped cream

DIRECTIONS: Stud the strip of orange peel with whole cloves, 2 inches apart. In a saucepan, place the orange peel, cinnamon sticks, and both liqueurs. Warm them for a few minutes. Divide the liquid into 2 glasses, discard the orange peel. Pour in coffee and garnish with whipped cream and the reserved cinnamon sticks.
