love coffee, especially a very dark, bold roast…. but my husband doesn’t touch the stuff so I sometimes end up with extra in the pot that just gets thrown out… I found this blog that talks about 20 uses for left over coffee… thought it might be something others would be interested in so I’ll pass it along… pretty neat ideas!
http://www.kettleandcup.com/20-uses-for-leftover-coffee/
Here are a few of my favorites from the list … these are exactly from the list with no changes except the order from the list.
- Use it in Red Eye Gravy
- Use it to marinate ribs
- Add to Chili
- Use in BBQ sauce
- Water your acid loving plants with it. Violets are avid coffee drinkers.
- Make frappuccinos
- Make a confectioner’s sugar glaze for donuts
- Use instead of red wine in stews and beef dishes
- Try these amazing sounding cinnamon rolls
- Facial. Seriously. Add enough leftover coffee to about 1/4 c coffee grounds to make a paste. Pat onto your face, allow to sit for 10 – 20 minutes and rinse off.
- Use a swab to put on scratches in dark furniture
I wonder about the facial one … would that stain your face I wonder?
