Starting the work week is always difficult – it’s perfectly normal, even when you really love what you do. Social jetlag (weekend insomnia), the need to solve Monday issues that have accumulated over the weekend, and much more also play a role.
Many psychologists advise waking up early on the first day of the week to spend time alone with yourself and not be in a hurry. For example, in the morning you can have a delicious breakfast, lie in the bathtub, play a few rounds at an online casino real money, choose a beautiful outfit and makeup. This way you will feel more confident and joyful because you will have time for positive emotions in the morning.
And if you are used to starting your morning with coffee, you can brew it according to a special recipe.
Spicy Coffee With Ice Cream
This drink is called affogato, and it’s made both non-alcoholic and alcoholic. And there are many recipes for its preparation. We will tell you about the simplest of them.
Ingredients:
- Ground coffee – for 1 serving.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream.
- Spices to taste: cinnamon, cardamom, thyme, anise or others. No more than two at a time. If you don’t have spices, you can be limited to brown sugar.
Preparation:
- Mix the coffee with the spices and brew as usual. If you choose brown sugar, it’s unnecessary to add it at this stage.
- While the coffee is brewing, heat the cup: this can be done under hot water.
- When the cup is hot, put an ice cream scoop in it.
- Pour the ice cream into the brewed coffee. The ball should not sink into the drink, but become like an “iceberg” in the cup.
- If you brew coffee with brown sugar, sprinkle it over the ice cream after pouring it over the coffee.
- Drink it before the ball melts!
