When we brewed our Sunday morning pot of coffee, we took this “creative uses of vanilla” tip from vanilla expert Nielsen-Massey, to infuse the Joe* with vanilla flavor. Instead of getting a shot of vanilla syrup† in your morning latte, infuse your home-brewed coffee instead. VANILLA IN YOUR SMOOTHIE If you prefer a healthful green smoothie in the morning, add some pure vanilla extract to it. The rich vanilla flavor will help meld the various vegetable flavors, enhancing the overall taste. Also add a little fruit for sweetness—half an apple or banana, for example—and you’ll find it a “new and improved” recipe. Stir some Pure Vanilla Bean Paste into plain yogurt. The Pure Lemon Paste is also delicious in yogurt. |

The term, “Cup of Joe” followed, and because sailors wanted their cup “hot,” Hot Joe was shortened to “hojo.” †Each pump of vanilla syrup is about 20 calories and 5 grams of sugar. A Grande Vanilla Latte at Starbucks is 2-1/2 cups and has four pumps, for 80 calories and 20 grams of sugar.[source] Two tablespoons of vanilla extract for the whole pot is 76 calories. |
