In fact, if I can avoid the stuff, I do. Don't get me wrong, I love the rich, full bod- ied aroma of coffee brewing; I just can't get past the bitter taste when I try drinking a cup of it. I've tried adding enough sweet- eners to put a normal 5 year old into sugar shock, still no good. The cream and milk route didn't help either. I still felt like I was drinking river water. I was ready to admit defeat when I discovered flavored coffee drinks. I'm not talking about those cute little packages in the super- market that promise to take you on a romantic trip to cappichino or espresso land. This stuff is still coffee. I'm talking about fun drinks that have all the full fla- vor of coffee but none of the bit- terness. O.K., so adding ice cream and/or flavoring is cheating a lit- tle bit. I guess Juan Valdez will have to brand me a heretic. These are great for after dinner or as a treat when you feel like some- thing a little different. The best part of these recipes is that it only takes a few minutes to get the in- gredients together and mix them up. Touch A Life. The United Way.
