Once I was up to experiment and mixed up my coffee with ... something that I had at my hand... I crushed some greenish stuff in a mortar (I have a great vintage brass mortar, as you see in the photo above), and know what? It was the most delicious and fragrant coffee in my life! Guess it were unroasted coffee beans? nope.
Hehe! I'm thinking aloud here... Could it be Pistachio nuts that looked like coffee beans❔
Coffee brewed from pistachios nuts? that sounds like a desperate idea... at least these nuts more tasty than acorns. Despite the color matches correctly - no, pistachios were not involved here. 🧐 PS. cool gif. mesmerizing!
It was the most delicious and fragrant coffee in my life!
Fennel seeds?! I guess they must make coffee really "delicious and fragant."
I don't know if it's fennel seeds in your coffee, but now I want to try it 😀
That was a good shot, Marlyn! 1stly: no, you did not guess it right. (dont feel sorry, as you've got a consolative Hive !PIZZA from me) 💪
now, about the fennel seeds:
that was a really good assumption, and know what? I do add fennel seeds to my coffee. I have a very special receipe that my old friend and coffee lover shared with me (so its double precious for me that way) - it includes a half spoon of fennel seeds (grinded in mortar), a full spoon of lavender flowers (slightly crushed, not into powder), and 2-3 cardamom seeds. This good friend of mine even supplied me with her lavender, which grows at her place. One day I will definitely show this recipe to the Hive. I still haven't taken the necessary photos... 🧐 ... and now I can tell what kind of green stuff was in my photo, tadaaaam: these were cardamom seeds!
@millycf1976, just for the record: @mdosev and @coquicoin had the right answer. I assume they are great conoissers and coffee-know-how-ers to guess it thru such obscure photo as I posted. (Or maybe we are just in the same boat?) Anyway: my sincere admiration & congratulations!
So no it was cardamom after all, ha ha ha ha. That was my first guess, too! But I thought it was the wrong answers because of your reaction 🤭
About those fennel seeds + lavender + cardamom, what a nice recipe! I would have never thought about it. It must have a delicious aroma 🤎
It's always a pleasure seeing you drop by, as your surely know how to tease with your photos:)))
Actually, no! I did not touched the photo at all, it was shot like that, unfocused rubbish. Happily I did not deleted it - and there came a day when I got use even of this unsuccessful photo! A wasteless production - isnt it nice? 😎
Haha! I was just browsing my hard drive looking to find some cluttered spaces photos. I realised that sometimes I need to take and keep bad photos because they just might come in hand. Just as yours did 😁
👍👍👍💪 Murphy's law (if I'm not mistaken, it's exactly that) states that the unnecessary thing that you throw out becomes necessary precisely after the irreversible moment of throwing it away. Law of life!
Please, accept a hot hive !PIZZA from me?
Oh, ain't that the truth 😆
It's also the reason why so much clutter exists. If only we all had massive storage places, heh?
Oh, yay for pizza 😋
Coffee with something ground up...🤔 what could it be. They look like seeds... I once roasted pumpkin seeds and ate them for a snack with coffee and felt a lot of headache relief. Maybe my idea 🤭.
what could it be. They look like seeds...
that is warm, even hot, I should say! but no, its not a pumpkin coffee. (hand out = have a slice of !PIZZA for such original and bright idea).
Thanks for the pizza 🍕😊☕... By the way I forgot to tell you that you have a nice vintage mortar and pestle.
I know that! I'd love to boast it was my 'family heritage' but no :( from my parents and their peasnts parents, I got nothing like that. Obtained it at a flea market, and I have a houp it will be my family heritage now. But not sure, as the times they are changing...
I'm sure it is. I know because I took the one from my grandmother's house and I carry it with me all the time.
Green pimples... before I knew they were pimples I thought of something more hallucinogenic. Hahaha. I really don't know what it would have been, but at least you enjoyed some delicious coffee. Then you will tell us what the green beans were.☕
Coffee with green seeds, what could it be?
Give me a hint, salty or sweet?
Will it be peanut seeds
