      as learened at a coffee cart at UCSD

The morning of Jan. 20, 2006, I wandered through the bookstore area at 
UCSD, being on campus for a network meeting,  but everything was closed. Too
early for students here. That seemed odd; at other schools, the
bookstore opened at 8am, as did the surrounding area. I guess students
here just don't go to that area unless it's lunchtime or they have
something to protest  ;-) 

I stopped at the coffee cart for a latte. The two coeds there were just
setting up things, and while making my drink, talked about making
'honeybees'. Since this wasn't on the menu - and, more to the point,
involved lining an espresso cup with honey, I asked about it. They made
me one:

	pull a single shot of espresso
	add raw (turbinado) sugar
	pull another shot on top of that
	line a small cup with about a tablespoon of honey
		roll the cup around to line it, about halfway up the cup
	dump the sweetened double-shot into the cup
	top it with a teaspoon of foam

Basically, this is a macchiato sugar-shot.

It may be the best breakfast drink ever  ;-)
