Additives I have known and loved.
I have discovered my new favorite coffee additive. Those of you who know me will know that I have always liked my coffee black, so this is a very special day. But what is it?
The winner is: black pepper. Mind you, added to the grounds, not the brew. I’m still working on the mixture, but half a teaspoon per 12oz. of water seems to make for a pungent, but not overwhelming, pepper flavor that mixes readily with your favorite bean.
Hat tip goes to Gene Wolfe in his 1981 sf novel, “Claw of the Conciliator”:http://tinyurl.com/5ercj, where he mentions off-hand how city people like their coffee without pepper.
