Coffee

Coffee Ingredients: • Sugar • Coffee • Milk • Water​​​​​​ Anahi Valdez- Gomez ​​​​​​​​ AP World History Mr. Benschine ​​​​​​ 13 December, 2013 Coffee traveling around the world! It was a cold and weary Monday morning. I was dreading writing a 5000 word essay on the Columbian exchange. I mean who cares about fruits and vegetables and animals and seeds and spices being exchanged around across the sea??! Nobody does! I took a deep breath and calmed down, I was freaking out! *breathes in and out* I took a second to think, I became even more tired and stressed out as I thought more and more about the essay. Therefore I did what I always do; I went and prepared myself a cup of coffee. 5 minutes later the smell of delicious coffee flourished throughout my house and filled the air with the rich smell of coffee. Then I realized it had been right under my nose the whole time! Coffee! It was a part of the Columbian exchange! Coffee comes from Africa. It was exchanged from the old world to the new world. Another ingredient is sugar. In order to create a zesty coffee you should add sugar which also comes from the old world to the new world. Another ingredient is milk! You can't have amazing coffee without milk. Milk comes from cows and cows were also involved in the Columbian Exchange from the old world to the new world. It seems so perfect the way coffee is made. The fact that every ingredient came from the old world to the new world seems amazing. Coffee is truly amazing and unique. No other ingredients from the Columbian exchange can come together and form one special treat. -Anahi Valdez Gomez
