Ingredients

  • Milk (1/2 cup)
  • Honey (1-2 tablespoons, or to taste)
  • Water (as required by your coffee maker)
  • Ground coffee (2 tablespoons)
  • Pine nuts (1/4 cup)

Instructions

  1. Start by toasting the pine nuts in a small skillet over medium heat. Stir them frequently until they turn lightly golden and emit a fragrant aroma. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Once toasted, transfer the pine nuts from the skillet to a plate or a flat surface and allow them to cool.
  3. When the pine nuts have cooled down, put them in a coffee grinder and grind until they are finely ground.
  4. In your coffee maker, combine the freshly ground pine nuts with your choice of ground coffee.
  5. Brew the coffee as per the instructions of your coffee maker, using the requisite amount of water.
  6. While the coffee is brewing, heat the milk in a separate small saucepan over low heat until it is warm but not boiling.
  7. Once the coffee is ready, pour it into your favorite mug. Stir in the honey until it dissolves completely.
  8. Pour the warm milk into the coffee, stirring gently to combine all the flavors.
  9. Your National Park Pine Nut Coffee is ready to be savored. Serve hot and enjoy the unique amalgamation of flavors.
