Zinda hona coffee nahi hain... you also need a kick to keep you going. For many of us, it's coffee! When the freshly ground aromatic coffee beans meet hot water (and sometimes sugar and milk), it takes over our senses, one at a time. And yet, we are used to the traditional style of preparing hand-beaten coffee with hot water and sugar at home

 

Well, let's change that. Spruce up your daily caffeine rush with these 10 fancy coffee recipes.
