Dune: Spice Coffee
Dune recipe #3
For my third recipe I made a cinnamon spice syrup (roughly based on Starbucks’ cinnamon dolce latte syrup) in order to create my version of Spice Coffee, a drink that is mentioned constantly throughout the book.
Servants began putting plates of food on the table at the Duke’s gesture releasing them — roast desert hare in sauce cepeda, aplomage sirian, chukka under glass, coffee with melange (a rich cinnamon odor from the spice wafted accross the table)… — Dune, Book 1
“We’re most grateful for your help, Doctor Kynes,” she said.“Mm-m-m, we’ll see,” Kynes said. He nodded to one of his men. “Spice coffee in my quarters, Shamir.”“At once, Liet,” the man said. — Dune, Book 2
From the cup arose the aroma of spiced coffee…She drained the cup, feeling the energy and lift of its contents — hot and delicious. — Dune, book 3
