For all you coffee and Christmas lovers. Today I´m sharing a great recipe with you. It is something I love to do when it is cold outside, maybe I feel a bit sad or maybe I just want something good to drink. Anyway. it is a hot drink made of coffee and Swedish Christmas spices.

• Mold some cardamom, grate some ginger, cloves and saffron with brown sugar. Put aside. Cut some bitter orange into small pieces and put in its own bowl.
• Whip some cream.
• Take a real piece of cinnamon, or two. Cook it with milk, at a low level of heat. Then take out the cinnamon and put all the things above into the milk, except the bitter orange. 
• You make yourself an espresso. Make sure you use the coffee beans you love! There are so many different brands out there, pick the one you love most, and make yourself an espresso using a machine. If you don´t have one, you can make extra strong coffee using instant coffee or what ever kind of coffee you use. Just make it good for you.
• Put the milk – full of Christmas spices – into the coffee. Make sure to do it slowly and do not mix. Top everything with whipped cream and bitter orange.

Now my dear friends, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year 2012. I hope you get all the things you ever wished for, but most all of I wish you health, happiness, a big family and many friends who loves you for who you are. May all your dreams come true, and may all the things your never dared to dream about become your truth.

Merry Christmas

and

Happy New Year!
