I've never been all that crazy about coffee. That is, until we went to Ethiopia. Coffee is abundant there, constantly brewing, and being sipped everywhere you go. Here's sweet Hinot, our guest house owner's wife serving up the daily coffee ceremony.
I have NEVER tasted coffee like this in all my life. Oh. My. WORD! So rich and flavorful. And so cheap! Only about 30 cents a cup. Love!
By day 5... and I cannot BELIEVE it took 5 days to make this amazing discovery.... we found the mother of all coffee drinks... the macciato. Justin was in LOVE. He had at least 3 of these puppies a day for the remainder of our time there. I mean he HAD to to make up for the 5 days we went without this amazing discovery!
On day 6 we made another earth shattering discovery: the cappuccino. Goodness gracious my mouth is watering just thinking about how awesome this goodness tasted!
Sorry to leave you with coffee envy... To get you a good fix... you must try this fabulous iced coffee recipe from The Pioneer Woman. Take it from someone who never really liked coffee much (at least not until Ethiopia :))... this recipe is delish. So yummy to have on hand in the fridge for hot summer days. I cut the recipe in half, and we drank on it for about two weeks. Bottoms up!

Yum! Wish I had one right about now! Great pics too! I have been drinking more coffee in my cup and less milk since our trip to Ethiopia!
