Hot Bourbon Coffee, Our Traditional Holiday Drink

1 cup coffee
2 oz Bourbon
1/3 cup organic heavy whipping cream
3 teaspoons raw sugar
3 teaspoons vanilla syrup
Blender or Whisk
Heavy Glass or Large Mug

Heat the glass or mug with hot water.

Add the vanilla syrup to the heavy whipping cream. Whip the heavy whipping cream by hand or in a blender till it is solid, but not frothy.

Use 1 cup piping hot coffee, we use cold brew coffee heated in the microwave until steaming but not boiling. The better the coffee, the better the finished product. Don’t skimp.

Empty the preheated water from the glass or mug.

Pour in the hot coffee gently.

Stir in 2-3 teaspoons of raw sugar.

Gently add 2 oz Bourbon. Use 3 oz if the relatives are really getting on your nerves. We recommend Booker’s or Prichard’s Double Barreled. Go all out on the quality of the Bourbon, it makes a huge difference in the final product.

Add the whipped cream. I like to stir in about two thirds and let the other third rest on the top.

This recipe makes enough for two.

Enjoy!

Happy Holidays from Kevin and Natalie.

Aggressive Bees and What to do About Them.

beeonflower

A very non-aggressive bee raised in a nurturing chemical free hive, smelling the sunflowers. Since sensationalized stories about aggressive bees seem to be hitting the news lately, I thought it would be a good idea to post about dealing with an aggressive hive. The first step is to do nothing. Refer to the previous post about observation and management. Maybe the “Mean…

Happy Honeybees, Happy Beekeeper

Beautiful Natural Comb

Hive management is an art, not a science. There are some basic principals I try to follow in an attempt to make hive management a more predictable and consistent art. First off, if you are in doubt, do nothing. You can’t make the bees do anything. What you can do is provide an environment which will encourage…

The Best Hive for the Backyard Beekeeper

A Summer Afternoon with Bees

The options are many: Langstroth, Warre, Top Bar, Long Hives. The impassioned reasoning to favor one or the other is endless. For someone trying to get started it has to be overwhelming. I am going to make some very specific recommendations for your first hive and give you the reasoning for each part of it. What works (or lately…

Hunting for Organic Meat

Chicken's from our friend George

The truth, we cannot deny it. Kevin and I love meat. We’re not vegetarians, nor are we contract killers. But there you have it. Durning the course of our relationship, this was one of our only dietary struggles. I was raised to be very aware of what was in my food. No pre-mixed packages or…

Goat Mischief and More: Interview with Itty Bitty Farm in the City’s Heidi Kooy

Was I not supposed to get in here?

A couple weeks ago, I had the good fortune to sit down with Heidi Kooy from Itty Bitty Farm in the City to talk about goat rearing in an urban environment. Although not necessarily high on most people’s priority list, I found the concept of goats really interesting and wanted to know more about it…

Goats: Strictly Country or Potentially Citified: A Guest Post by Itty Bitty Farm in the City’s Heidi Kooy

IMG_4307

The debate over whether or not goats should be allowed in urban backyards is a heated one, as I discovered after being interviewed for a New York Times article describing the difficulties of goat ownership. Unfortunately, the article failed to acknowledge the benefits of goat as pet beyond the delicious dairy factor. To be sure,…

About

Backyard Ecosystem began as an expression of my determination to make a difference in our own backyard. Literally and metaphorically making a difference at the micro level of my yard and to operate at macro level of treating the entire planet as something I am an integral part of and whose destiny is shaped everyday by what I do in my corner of the world.
