"Magic" Coffee
All summer now, JJ and I have been monkeying around trying to concoct our own home-made version of our favorite Cafe Soleil treat. It's been a pleasant experiment, especially those times I've been able to sample the real deal in Madison. Well, to my excitement, I found out today (thanks JJ!) that the Isthmus has published Cafe Soleil's recipe for, wait for it...Magic Coffee! No more guessing needed. Here's the recipe:
Cafe Soleil's Magic Coffee
For a 4-Cup pot (serves 4 with ice)
Brew a pot of your favorite dark roast coffee. Once it is brewed, transfer to a pitcher and add 1/2 cup dark brown sugar , 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1/4 cup cream and 1 shot of espresso. Chill overnight, or cool and ice it down. Serve over ice.

Methinks it's the brown sugar that makes it magic!

They also published a correction that the recipe they printed was not the actual recipe, but one The Ithsmus came up with "for the home cook," or something like that. If you follow their recipe, the result isn't anything like the real thing.
Thank you for the heads-up! Here is the link to the article for everyone:

The recipe is Tory Miller's (chef at L'Etoile) version for the home cook, not the 'official' recipe as was originally printed. While nothing beats the real deal, I have to say I was happy with my results from this recipe!
