Torani recipe database
Chances are, you’ve had some flavored Torani syrup before - it’s the bottles of flavor additives you’ll find in probably any espresso shop, and is used for mint mochas, vanilla lattes, etc. Well, over on their website, they have a neat collection of recipes that, not surprisingly, use their flavorings. It’s not just coffee recipes, there are a lot of other drinks featured there. A lot of it is pretty bizarre, but hey, if you’re looking for some oddball ideas, it’s worth checking out, just follow the link above! Here’s one of the more complicated ones for the ambitious coffee chefs:

Well it DOES look good, I’ll admit, so I suppose if your kitchen isn’t cluttered already, it’d make an attractive blob on your countertop, but c’mon people, a thousand dollars for something to heat up your coffee cups? Isn’t that getting a little ridiculous? (via
