NO matter what you call it--"white man in Harlem", etc... it can't be what you describe if its just black coffee. You have to brew it pretty damn strong which risks just being disgusting. What you need is a little something called an "expresso Cubano"--no longer in existence around here--but it consist of a double shot of strong expresso, stirred with a stick of cinnamon and with a squeeze of lemon added, and then the lemon thrown in. It looks like trash, but its a wonderous thing. Interesting and even good taste, but so strong and so keeps you going for days without over-caffenation jitters or over caffenation fatigue from exhausting the chemicals and stuff that goes on when you force your body into the rushed reaction coffee is prized for.
But safer, less caffenated, more evenly distrubed through the body for those not prepared for good expresso, I actually recommend Mate (withan accent mark on the e) tea. Usually found in stores under Celestial seasonings brand's name for it, "Morning Thunder"--much better than coffee for effect.
Drink coffee, but not to stay up. Drink it for the mystique and aesthetic attached, for the taste.
And NEVER go to Starbucks for any alternative! Turn to illegal drugs before you turn to them, whose products should be illegal. |
