Introduction

Continuing the Journey When Mountain Boys Coffee began, we had one sole purpose: to find the best quality coffee. The long and often arduous journey lead our company to where we are today. The highest quality was and remains our mission, but our focus, as seen in our name, has always been our pride in where we’ve come from - West Virginia, these mountains, our home.

Mini Mocha Chip Pancakes INGREDIENTS 2 cups whole wheat pastry flour 2 tsps baking powder

PREPERATION

Stir together the dry ingredients. Add eggs, milk, vanilla and oil. Stir until dry ingredients are moistened.

Using a tablespoon measure, spoon batter onto griddle or skillet heated to medium heat. Sprinkle chocolate chips into each round of batter.

Cook on preheated pan until bubbles form and edges start to dry. Flip and cook until lightly browned.

1 tbsp Mounatin Boys Chocolate X Coffee 1 tsp salt 2 eggs (well beaten) 2 cups milk 2 tbsps canola oil 1 tsp vanilla 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 cup chocolate chips

DID YOU KNOW? Mountain Boys coffee is air-roasted. This is quite unique, considering only 1% of the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s entire supply of coffee is air roasted! In the air roasting process, the coffee beans are roasted on a bed of air, not beat around in a large drum like traditional roasting processes call for. This process allows each bean to be roasted to perfection, bringing out the beanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best qualities. As a result, you are left with a very unique - and dare we say best possible - flavor.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch Coffee Cake Bites

INGREDIENTS

For the streusel: In a small mixing bowl toss together the cereal and walnuts. Add cold butter and cut into mixture until a fine crumble forms. Set aside.

For the cake: Sift together flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt into a mixing bowl and set aside.

Place softened butter and sugar into a medium mixing bowl and cream together with a hand mixer (on medium speed). Scrape down sides of bowl and add eggs, one at a time. Add sour cream, yogurt and vanilla and mix together.

Add flour mixture to butter mixture and mix until fully incorporated.

Lightly grease a mini muffin pan. Scoop batter into a piping bag or large Ziploc bag and fill each muffin hole a third high with the batter and top with a sprinkle of streusel. Pipe more batter over the streusel until about 3/4 full.

Bake in the oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean when inserted into the center of the bites.

When cool enough to handle, carefully remove each bite from the muffin tin and place upside down onto a cooling rack. Allow bites to cool completely.

Place powdered sugar into a small bowl and add milk, coffee and vanilla. Gently stir with a fork until smooth.

Pour about 1 teaspoon of the glaze over each bite and top with bits of cereal. Serve.

DID YOU KNOW? All coffee beans - including those used in Mountain Boys blends - are grown near the equator, from the Tropic of Cancer to Tropic of Capricorn. This leaves only a 1,000 mile limit for our beans to be grown to perfection. Think about that while youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re sip slowly.

Apricot-Espresso Glazed Roast Pork Loin INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

1 3-pound boneless pork loin, trimmed

Preheat oven to 375°F. Line a roasting pan or rimmed baking sheet with foil.

Tie kitchen string around pork in two or three places so it doesn’t flatten while roasting. Rub oil, salt and pepper all over the pork. Place the pork in the prepared pan.

Roast pork, turning once, for 30 minutes.

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil 3/4 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 1 cup apricot preserves 2 tablespoons Mountain Boys PAPS Espresso blend coffee 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

4 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce 2 cloves garlic, minced 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves 1/2 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth

Original Recipe: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/espresso_pork_loin.html

Meanwhile, combine apricot preserves, espresso powder, mustard, Worcestershire, garlic and cloves in a small saucepan; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring frequently. Cook 1 minute, stirring constantly, then remove from heat.

After the pork has cooked for 30 minutes, brush all over with 1/2 cup of the glaze. (Leave the remaining glaze in the pan.) Continue roasting until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the middle of the meat registers 140°F, 20 to 40 minutes more. Transfer the pork to a clean cutting board and let rest for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, add broth to the remaining glaze in the pan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Simmer until thickened slightly, about 5 minutes. Remove the string and slice the pork. Serve with the sauce.

Season beef with salt and pepper. Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a Dutch oven or soup pot over medium-high heat. Add beef and cook, turning from time to time, until well browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer to a plate.

Add the remaining 2 teaspoons oil to the pot. Add onions, reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring often, until softened and golden, 5 to 7 minutes. Add garlic and thyme; cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Stir in coffee and vinegar; bring to a simmer. Return the beef to the pot and spoon some onions over it. Cover and transfer to the oven.

Braise the beef in the oven until fork-tender but not falling apart, 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Transfer beef to a cutting board, tent with foil and let rest for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, skim fat from the braising liquid; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the cornstarch mixture and cook, whisking, until the gravy thickens slightly, about 1 minute. Season with pepper. Carve the beef and serve with gravy.

DID YOU KNOW?

One theory (or legend) says that coffee was discovered by an Ethopian goat herder. According to legend, the goat herder awoke during the night to discover his goats acting somewhat strange. In spite of the darkness, they appeared hyper and overstimulated, kicking and jumping to and fro. The next day, it is said, the goat herder found an unknown plant that appeared to have on it some kind of berry. The herder took some himself. He began dancing late into the night with his goats. A monk from a nearby monestary came by, and observed the herder in his seemingly strange trance. The herder told the monk of the strange berry and its powers. Soon, word got out - and an addiction began. While Mountain Boys doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a goat blend, we do have one for hunters. But herders - or any other tradesmen - would enjoy it just the same, we are certain.

Smoky Black Bean Soup INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

1 pound dried black beans (2 cups) 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

2 medium onions, finely chopped, 1/3 cup reserved for garnish 1 red bell pepper, finely chopped

Heat oil in a soup pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add all but 1/3 cup of the onions, bell pepper, celery, jalape単o and garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are beginning to brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Add cumin and cook, stirring, 1 minute more. Add the beans, water, coffee, ham hock (if using) and bay leaf; cover and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Skim off any foam that rises to the top, reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the beans are very tender, 1 1/4 to 1 1/2 hours. If using, remove the ham hock and set it aside to cool; remove the bay leaf. Stir in salt.

Puree about half of the soup in a blender or food processor until fairly smooth. (Use caution when pureeing hot liquids.) Return the pureed soup to the pot and heat through. If desired, cut meat off the ham hock, trim away any fat and chop the meat into small pieces; stir back into the soup.

Serve the soup garnished with the reserved chopped onion, a dollop of sour cream (or yogurt) and cilantro, if desired.

2 large stalks celery, chopped 1 jalape単o pepper, seeded and finely chopped 3 large cloves garlic, minced 1 tablespoon ground cumin 4 cups water 2 cups Mountain Boys Moonshine Mash blend coffee 1 ham hock (optional) 1 bay leaf 1 teaspoon salt, plus more if needed 6 tablespoons reduced-fat sour cream or plain Greek yogurt for garnish Chopped fresh cilantro for garnish

Pick over beans; rinse well. Place in a large bowl with cold water to cover by 2 inches. Let soak for at least 6 hours or overnight. (Or use the quick-soak method: Cover the beans with 2 inches of water and bring to a boil; simmer 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand, covered, for 1 hour.) Drain.

Southern Pasta Salad with Black-Eyed Peas INGREDIENTS 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil) 8 ounces small elbows or other small pasta shape

PREPERATION

Place sun-dried tomatoes in a small bowl, cover with boiling water and let stand until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool. Cut into slivers and set aside.

Cook pasta in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until al dente, about 5 minutes; add chard during the last minute of cooking. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold water until cool. Press to remove excess water and transfer to a large bowl. Add turkey, black-eyed peas, onions and the reserved tomatoes.

Whisk together the remaining ingredients in a small bowl. Add to the pasta and chard; toss until well-combined

8 ounces Swiss chard (not the red variety), washed and cut crosswise into thin strips 8 ounces smoked turkey, chopped 2 14-ounce cans black-eyed peas, drained and rinsed 1/2 cup chopped sweet onions, such as Vidalia 1/4 cup Mountain Boys Black Bear blend coffee 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 2 tablespoons lime juice 2 tablespoons cider vinegar 1 1/2 teaspoons molasses 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce 1 1/2 teaspoons chili powder 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin Salt & freshly ground pepper to taste

DID YOU KNOW?

Black Bears can kill you. Coffee, probably not. It would take drinking 80 to 100 cups of coffee - real fast and all at once - in order to kill you. (This is not recommended. Do not do this.) So, the likelyhood of being killed by Mountain Boys Black Bear blend is slim to none. Being killed by a real Black Bear well, that could be possible if you get too close.

Dessert Recipes

Frozen Mudslide Drink (Adult Milkshake) INGREDIENTS 4 oz vodka 4 oz Kahlua (see recipe page 23) 4 oz Bailey’s Irish Cream

PREPERATION

Blend all ingredients.

Garnish with some combination of chocolate shavings, whipped cream, and chocolate syrup (or anything else you want to throw on there).

Drink immediately.

2 pints (32 oz) vanilla ice cream 4 tablespoons of Mountain Boys Chocolate Raspberry blend coffee Whipped cream for garnish Chocolate syrup for garnish

DID YOU KNOW? Several studies have touted the benefits of chocolate and berries. Likewise, coffee has several health benefits. Coffee drinkers have a decreased chance of developing alzheimer’s and dementia. Coffee also helps reduce cardiovasular disease and type-2 diabetes. Coffee contains important antioxidants. One to two cups a day can boost your health. Mountain Boys combined coffee, raspberries and chocolate in our - you guessed it - Chocolate Raspberry blend. While there’s no official study on our blend to prove it, we like to think the combination of all these naturally healthy foods creates a wunder drink. Well, that’s what we’ll keep telling ourselves.

Tiramisu Cupcakes INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

6 egg yolks 3/4 cup white sugar 2/3 cup milk 1 1/4 cup heavy cream 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 pound mascarpone cheese 1 cup Mountain Boys Mountain Mama blend coffee 2 tablespoons rum ladyfingers in cupcake wrappers 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder A small amount of dark chocolate for chocolate curls (optional)

In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils.

Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat, and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.

Remove from refrigerator and whisk in mascarpone until smooth. Set aside.

In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum.

Drizzle approximately 1 tbsp + 2 tsp of the coffee/rum mixture over each ladyfinger. Add it a little at a time and wait for it to absorb into the ladyfingers before adding more. When it stops absorbing, stop adding more.

Spread the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Pipe or spread the whipped cream over the mascarpone. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Optionally, top with chocolate curls. Make the chocolate curls using a vegetable peeler on a piece of chocolate. It works best if the chocolate is slightly warm, but not melty.

Sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Chocolate Espresso Cake INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

2 c. all-purpose flour

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly oil two 9 inch round baking pans and set aside.

Combine the flours, sugar, salt, baking soda, and cocoa powder in a bowl and sift to combine.

In a separate bowl, combine the coconut milk and vinegar and allow to sit for a few minutes to curdle. Add in the coffee, extracts, and oil, and stir to combine.

Make a well in the middle of the dry ingredients and pour the wet into the dry. Stir to combine, just until you can’t see any flour anymore and until most of the lumps are gone.You don’t want to stir too long or you’ll start to make the batter stiff.

If you’re adding chocolate chips into your cake batter, fold them in now.

Divide the batter evenly amongst the two reserved baking pans and tap them on the countertop to release any bubbles.

1 c. spelt flour (or more all-purpose) 1 1/2 c. sucanat (or other natural sugar) 1 tsp. sea salt 2 tsp. baking soda 1/2 c. vegan cocoa powder 1 c. coconut milk (or another vegan milk) 2 Tbsp. raw organic apple cider vinegar 1 c. Mountain Boys PAPS Espresso blend coffee 2 tsp. pure vanilla extract 1 tsp. coffee extract (or more vanilla extract) 2/3 c. safflower oil (or canola) 1/2 c. semisweet chocolate chips (optional)

07 08 Original Recipe: http://www.vegan-nutritionista.com/vegan-cake-recipe.html

Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges of the cake pull away from the sides of the pan and a fork inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool on a baking sheet for a few minutes. Flip the pan upside down to loosen the cake, remove the pan, and let them cool on the cooling rack. Don’t frost the cakes until they are completely cool or you’ll have a mess of broken cake that’s impossible to frost.

Vegan Recipes

Vegan Chocolate Frosting, Mocha Style INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

3/4 c. non-hydrogenated, nondairy butter, softened

Cream the butter in an electric (or hand held) mixer for about 5 minutes, until very loose and light.

Add in the sugar and beat for another 2-3 minutes, until creamed.

Add in the cocoa powder, vanilla, and coffee and beat until light and fluffy.

For some reason, sometimes I feel like I need to adjust the measurements at the end. If your frosting doesn’t taste sweet enough, you can add a little more sugar. If it’s so thick that you can’t frost a cake with it, add a little more coffee or a teaspoon of nondairy milk. If the cocoa flavor isn’t prominent enough, add in cocoa or more vanilla-- sometimes vanilla helps to bring all the flavors together, so it could be your magic ingredient.

When I frosted this chocolate espresso cake, I chopped up chocolate covered espresso beans and added them to the middle layer of frosting. It gave the cake a nice crunch and reinforced the vegan mocha cake concept

4 c. confectioner’s sugar 1/3 c. cocoa powder 2 tsp. vanilla extract 3-4 Tbsp. Mountain Boys Chocolate X blend coffee 1/2 c. chocolate covered espresso beans, chopped (optional)

Homemade Kahlua INGREDIENTS

PREPERATION

6 cups Mountain Boys Vanilla blend coffee

01 02 03

1 lb light brown sugar 31/2 tbsps vanilla extract 0.5 liter vodka

While the coffee is still hot, mix in the brown sugar. Let cool. Mix in vanilla and Vodkia. Serve over ice.

DID YOU KNOW? Coffee is one of the most popular drinks in the world, second only to water. Nearly 1,400 MILLION cups of coffee are consumed daily. It’s the second most widely used product in the world, after oil, creating jobs for 100 million people. Likewise, alcohol is also a favorite drink among many, often having the opposite effect of causing job loss. Mix alcohol and coffee, and you most likely have Kahlua. Or Mudslides. Both of which can be found in this recipe book. So, if this is your type of thing, and if you’re of the legal age, go ahead and try some - just don’t drink on the job. We wouldn’t want you to lose it, because then we might lose a customer. And your spouse most likelywouldn’t be happy with us either.

1 cup gluten free buckwheat flour 1/2 cup gluten free millet flour 1/2 cup sorghum flour 1/2 cup potato starch 1 tablespoon arrowroot 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda

Whisk the gluten-free flours with the remaining dry ingredients. Add the wet ingredients and beat by hand until the dough comes together.

Stir in the semi-sweet chocolate chips.

Scoop the dough with a spoon and form the dough into balls slightly smaller than golf balls. Press slightly.

Bake in the center of a preheated oven set at 350 degrees for 15 to 18 minutes. The longer you bake the cookies, the crisper they will be on the outside. If you like a cakey cookie- check them at 15 minutes. They need to be pretty firm to a light touch. They will crisp up a bit more as they cool.

2 teaspoons xanthan gum 1 teaspoon fine sea salt 1 teaspoon cinnamon- or more, to taste 1 pinch of nutmeg, to taste 1/2 cup organic shortening 1/2 cup raw organic agave nectar Egg replacer for 1 egg, mixed 1/4 cup Mountain Boys PAPS Espresso blend coffee, sweetened to taste with stevia 1 tablespoon bourbon vanilla extract 1 cup dairy-free semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips

Cappuccino Brownies INGREDIENTS 1/2 cup organic gluten free buckwheat flour 1/2 cup sorghum flour or fine brown rice flour

PREPERATION

Beat shortening, brown sugar and egg replacer. In a seperate bowl, combine the espresso and milk. Stir the shortening and milk mixtures together.

Mix the dry ingredients. Add the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir/beat by hand until smooth.

Add chocolate chips, and additional chips for topping, if desired.

Mix well. It will come together as a sturdy batter much like fudge. If the batter is too dry to stick together, add another tablespoon of rice milk- or twountil the batter can form into a ball.

Dump, press and smooth the brownie batter into an 8-inch square baking pan.

Sprinkle the top with extra chips, cocoa powder and cinnamon.

Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, until the brownies are fairly firm to the touch and a wooden pick inserted into the center emerges clean (check twice if you hit a melted chocolate chip). Cool on a wire rack before slicing. Sprinkle with cinnamon again before serving.

Smoked Brisket with Coffee INGREDIENTS 6 lbs brisket (flat-cut, fat left on) BBQ Rub #67 (see below) 1/2 cup Mountain Boys Mountain Mama blend coffee (at room temperature)

PREPERATION

01 02

BBQ Rub #67 1/2 cup sugar (in the Raw) 1/2 cup kosher salt

3 tbsps chili powder 3 tbsps paprika 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp lemon pepper 1/2 tsp coffee (ground)

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. The rub may be stored in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 6 months.

Prepare your cooker (gas or charcoal grill or barbecue smoker) to cook indirectly at 235°F (113°C), using hickory wood if you have a smoker. Season the brisket liberally on all sides with the Barbecue Rub #67. Cook the brisket, fat side down, for 1 hour. Then flip it fat side up and cook to an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C), another 3 to 4 hours. Place 2 very large sheets of heavy-duty aluminum foil, one atop the other, on your work surface, long side facing you. Fold the right half of the foil over the left half, crease, and unfold. Remove the brisket from the cooker and leave the heat on. Place the brisket, fat side up, in the center of the left half of the foil. Turn the edges of the foil up to create a lip and pour the coffee over the brisket. Fold the other half of the foil over the brisket and crimp the edges shuts. (Be careful not to pierce the foil. If you do, don’t freak. Just start over, wrapping the brisket in foil all over again.) Return the foil-wrapped brisket to the cooker until it reaches 200°F (93°C). Begin checking the internal temperature of the brisket after 1 hour. When it’s ready, remove the brisket package from the heat, unwrap it, and let it rest for 30 minutes. Transfer the brisket to a cutting board. If desired, reserve the coffee mixture, skimming the fat from the surface of the liquid and serving the remaining juices as a sauce. Slice the brisket on the diagonal into 1/4-inch-thick slices. It’s up to you if you want to serve the brisket straight from the cutting board or pile it on a platter.
