For the coffee drinkers
By:
Post # 1
I personally am not too fond of tea so I saw this on Tumblr thought it sounded good

Fresh cold water (plus one teaspoon of vanilla exract mixed into the water)

4 heaping table spoons of ground coffee. 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg

vanilla brews through the coffee/spice mixture so it needs to go into the water reservoir of the coffee maker

Brew as usual

to the steaming coffee add fresh cream and sugar. to taste

Magickal Properties

Water: Healing, Clensing, Goddess, Intuition
Cinnamon: Protection, Abundance, Prosperity, Good Health
Nutmeg: Good Luck, Happiness, Happy Home-life
Vanilla: Beauty, Sweetness, Patience, Protection
Cream: Wealth, Abundance, Higher Consciousness

Just a note to anyone who may not know:

Nutmeg is a poison, so be sure not to add more than a pinch; even for a large quanity of this drink. Nutmeg can cause memory disturbances, rapid migraines, hallucinations, paranoia, convulsions, palpitations, nausea, and generalized body pain.

Nutmeg is deadly to some pets and livestock.

I've also heard of people adding ground dandelion and chicory root to their coffee grounds to naturally flavor it. I believe chicory has a mild chocolate flavor and dandelion has a mild caramel flavor, though it could be the other way around. It's been a while since I've used either of them.

Yes, nutmeg poisoning also currently has no treatment. The best the medical professionals can do is try to keep you hydrated and hope that your body breaks down and expels the poison on its own. In severe cases it can lead to organ damage, projectile vomiting, seizures, and in some cases death. As previously stated, be careful with how much you use.

Missjerseyb1 thanks for the recipe it can come very handy for me indeed .Plase make sure you find organic and complitely natural vanila essence ,massive part of the what they sell as white powder is not much of vanilla essence it just smells like this .
As for the nutmeg it is much more poisonous for pets than for humans .You really need to get horse dose to be lethal for you .And i doubt someone will consume more than a teaspoon of it per day ,which is really safe dose .It is used also in Ayurveda .It can cause few side effects in highter dose such nausea ,confusion and paranoia also it has psychoactive effect on humans .I know people that use it to make sort of astral travel or so called psychodelic trips .Of course the effect of it is nothing that has the wow effect in this matter either .As with many herbs the dose is everything so no need of panic .
So to be on the safer side you are okey taking half spoon per day .Please ,note i do not recommand you take that dose everyday ,because as every herbs using it for long time will build up in excessive levels in the body .

i also add cardamom, but other than that i prefer coffee plain. just a pinch of cardamom in a hot cup of coffee is delicious. it also reduces the acidity of the coffee and may help soothe any stomach upset one might normally get from a cup o' joe.
