Why You Should Add Coffee to Your Thanksgiving Celebration

Coffee's unique aroma is perfect to make your Thanksgiving warm and special! 

The air is crisp, leaves are falling, and colors are changing. Flavors are getting sweeter and family dinners bigger. We’re getting close to Christmas, and nothing calls for coffee's earthy and warm aromas like the end of a Thanksgiving dinner. A good dose of caffeine is always bound to make us feel better and replenish our energies. It’s the perfect companion for a round of childhood tales and old memories recounted around a dinner table or hearth.

Before your Thanksgiving celebration, think about coffee. When you’re shopping for the last ingredients, remember it has the potential to give that final magic touch to your dinner. You can gift your hosts a bag of coffee, or you can use it to accompany desserts. It’s also a great option for guests who don’t drink alcohol and goes incredibly well with pumpkin's and cinnamon's flavors. Just as wine, coffee has different attributes that change its properties and make it taste different. It’s an excellent ingredient for many meals as well!

For example, if you’re serving a pumpkin pie for dessert, a medium-roasted coffee with a delicate body is its perfect companion. You could even start drinking it from morning to the end of the day. If by any chance, you prefer a chocolate dessert, a dark-roasted coffee's sweetness and full body is the way to go! It tastes amazing with chocolate and will leave your guests asking for more.

If you decide to go with an apple pie or another fruity dessert, lighter coffee roasts are your perfect allies. Their brightness and citrus flavors will enhance any of these dishes’ fruity qualities. You’ll enjoy this combination like no other! It’s a matter of knowing how to mix your cup of joe to seize all benefits it can bring to your Thanksgiving dinner.

You can also take it further and prepare a delicious coffee milkshake. It’s easy to make at home, and it’ll make dessert time even more special. All you’ll need is:

• 1/2 cup brewed coffee
• Chocolate sauce (to taste)
• 1 tablespoon marshmallow cream
• 4 cups vanilla ice cream
• Crushed Graham crackers for topping
• Chocolate drops for garnish.

To prepare it, follow these instructions:

1. Brew the coffee.
2. Grab two glasses and spread the chocolate sauce all along their interior sides in a vertical pattern. The glass should look as if it's striped with chocolate.
3. Spread marshmallow cream around the lip of each glass.
4. In a blender or food processor, combine the coffee and ice cream until they are well mixed.
5. Pour the mixture into the glasses and top them with crushed Graham crackers.
6. Garnish them with a chocolate drop and serve.

Just remember not to brew your coffee ahead of time as it tends to become bitter over time. Besides, if you let it sit for too long, its flavor won’t be as strong. Start preparing it right after dinner. It can be done while you clear the table and serve dessert! Have different additions at hand, so everyone can have their coffee as they like. Milk creamers or sweeteners are a must to make this Thanksgiving as cozy as you can!
