Coffee with garlic
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can sweeten the strong drink with floral honey instead of regular sugar. The honey will soften the garlic flavor and enhance the coffee aroma. Many prefer adding a pinch of red chili pepper along with the garlic—it's optional. Serve chilled.
