April Showers Bring May flowers!
This month, we've chosen the perfect spring coffee; a fruity, decadent, single origin coffee from Kochere, Ethiopia. With notes of hibiscus, lemongrass, and blackberry jam this coffee is like a delicious bouquet of flavors.
Origin: Kochere, Ethiopia
Roast: A delicious Medium roast to bring out the natural fruity flavors of the coffee
The Process: Located just south of Yirgacheffe, in a region famous for its specialty coffee, Kochere benefits from high altitude and iron-rich soil. After harvesting, small family farmers bring their coffee to local washing stations for processing. After washing, the coffee is sun-dried on raised beds.
Notes: Hibiscus, Lemongrass, Blackberry Jam
Let's start by making our homemade lavender syrup:
Step 1: Visit your local spice store, or grocery store (yes, they have a spice section!) and purchase lavender buds. You may also find them in the tea section.
Step 2: Prep your ingredients
- 12 oz Mason jar or temperature safe container with lid
- 1 TBS Lavender
- 1/2 cup of sugar in the raw, brown sugar, or regular sugar (your pick)
- 1 cup of boiling water
Step 3: Boil some water
Step 4: Add lavender and sugar to your jar/container
Step 5: Slowly add boiling water and continuously stir until all the sugar has dissolved.* Very important to make sure all the sugar dissolves and there is no leftover sugar sitting at the bottom of your container.
Step 6: Wait for the syrup to get to room temperature (leave lid off container). Once syrup is at room temp, place in refrigerator.
Step 7: (This step is optional) Using a strainer, transfer the syrup into a squeeze bottle or a different container to strain the lavender buds. Otherwise, you can use the syrup as is.
