Scrivy's Weird Recipe Corner: Sugar Spike Coffee

A fast coffee that's a little more tart than sweet, and enough sugar to make you smile without worrying about crashing into post-sugar depression.

2 teaspoons sugar
2 tablespoons cream
1 Cup Coffee
1.5 teaspoon maple syrup
2 tablespoon chocolate sauce
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

First get a coffee cup. Put the sugar in first, then pour in your cream. I tend to just pour until it looks right. Then add your coffee, filling it to about a half inch beneath the mug's rim. After this, pour in maple syrup,then chocolate sauce, and then add vanilla extract. I usually use a small amount of maple syrup, pour chocolate sauce - or chocolate syrup, if you prefer - in until the coffee level raises about a centimeter or so, but you have to be careful with the vanilla extract: try to use about a capful at most, because too much will make the coffee much much much more tart. You're aiming for a rich taste, but not a sour or sharp taste: too much tartness will also block out the sugary aftertaste.
This goes pretty well with breakfast pastries and foods like that. You can also use decaf coffee for a fuller taste and a little less jitteriness. The sugar will do a good enough job of helping you wake up.
