Sweet And Sour Apple Coffee
One sip of a cup of iced coffee. Sweet taste that greets the tongue. Cold that greets the throat. And, a little sour to remember. This is my first coffee after about 3 months I stopped drinking coffee.
Long short story, those were 3 months full of happiness, but also full of pain. It was the month when my husband and I got a gift from God, but at the same time, God took the gift from us. We were very happy when we found out that I was pregnant after five months of marriage. But then two months later, I had a miscarriage. It felt like we weren't worthy of God's gift, and we lost those gifts and blessings.
The more I sip my iced coffee, the more I understand what the ingredients in my iced coffee are: apple juice and coffee. As well as about the sadness that still remains in my deepest heart, day by day I understand more and more what it feels like to lose.
Loss: a feeling that makes me a person who is always grateful for what I have in the present. I'm used to not being disappointed after a loss takes away a lot of happiness. It is never wasted. There are always seeds of life that have been planted in our lives, forming something new, even if something is lost.
A slice of dried apple floats on the surface of the iced coffee as a garnish. Just a small thing, but it gives a highlight to the whole drink. Like a loss that leaves many scars of pain everywhere. On every side of the body and soul. But again, I accept that because that's life.
I never know what drink I will receive when I order a type of drink from a cafe waiter. I also don't know what kind of moment I'm facing and I'm living it. Then, whatever it is, I have to be wise to accept whatever I have been given to me.
Life is all about choices. Even though sometimes it seems like a wrong choice, trying to enjoy whatever is given to us is the best way not to be disappointed. If you don't like sour but then accept the sour taste, don't be disappointed. We just need to learn to accept that we have to know the sour taste for the balance of life. Without a sour taste, as well as bitterness, we will never be happy when there is a sweet taste that comes.
Apple Juice Coffee
I came again to a favorite place that I have often shared on my blog. Muda Burger & Coffee. On a Saturday night visit, I chose to order the iced menu, not hot coffee like my favorite before. Incidentally, the type of drink that I ordered is a new menu list after a long time I haven't visited this place.
My drink of choice is called Djiwa Muda. Muda means young, and djiwa means soul. An interesting drink menu name. What represents the young soul of the customers is also the name of the coffee shop itself.
I thought I would receive an exceptional coffee with mixed milk (a popular type of coffee in the area where I live). But, then it became something beyond my expectations. I received a cup of black coffee, with a garnish that I don't know what the ingredients are.
After I looked closely, I saw that the slice of garnish was a slice of dried apple. My mind then guessed that the drink I chose had apple juice as an ingredient. I'm right about that. It turns out that this drink is a blend of apple juice and coffee.
This is the first time I tried this type of drink. I like it. The taste is a mix of sour and sweet. Nice balance of flavors. Nothing is dominant. After a taste on the tongue that is worth remembering as a drink worth drinking to cool my mind after the many complicated things, I think about.
In the corner of Muda Burger & Coffee, accompanied by my husband, I also enjoy the best burger in my city. So far, the burgers at this place are what I like. This burger is named Cheese To Love with beef patties and cheese filling. I always choose this type of burger variant if I come to this place because I love it. just it.
Pssst, this burger place that my husband introduced before we got married. So, this place has a lot of sweet memories for us.
When we are away from home looking for new views to see, then this place is one of them.
Cheers, for the fun or sad moments that come into our lives. Whatever those things, they will instill small surprises in our lives, which we will get in the future. With a happy smile, with sweetness after bitter and sour. No matter what path we take and never guess once, at the end of the road, there will always be sweet things. In the form of a surprise we deserve, not something in the form of something we want. It's okay to get hurt, to make you strong and ready to be the best version of yourself.
Enjoy your favorite drink on the weekend, with various unexpected moments. Your heart, which is the strongest, though easily brittle by sorrow, then swiftly strengthened by wisdom.

Wise words, sometimes life give you lemons or apples, last few days were bit hard for me since Im finally getting out of debt but today life gave me apples, wake up to a call from a customer who have a new project, every morning I evaluate myself to find out how Im doing and balance myself, as you mention sometimes we dont appreciate the present and thats why ppl say life is so fast, thats another reason every morning I stop before life past me without even noticing
Life is the present. Mindfull life 😊

What a beautiful message at the beginning of the post, then comes the melancholy and the true story of life, where there are joys and sorrows.
Amiga, I didn't know anything, I am sorry for your loss, you will always be deserving of God's blessings, just that this was a test of spiritual preparation and maybe that baby left to take a little karma away from his parents so they can receive in the future another one with dharma.
I was surprised that you lasted so long without drinking coffee, wow how could you do it, you have to have a lot of willpower. I ask you, did you stop drinking because of the pregnancy? Coffee is not harmful to babies as far as I know.
The apple slice I thought it was a cookie 😆 how much wisdom is in your post, I love reading you, you leave me pondering, I should do it more often.
Congratulations on your marriage and thank you for sharing this apple flavored iced coffee, I have a long way to go to experience and experience, many coffees to try. @anggreklestari 🤗
Hello my friend 🙂
Honestly, I never posted official my wedding day on my blog. Ehehe..because it Will to much words 😀
Oh, beautiful words. Thanks for reminding about this one. I hope in the future, I can raising the best children then ❤️😊
Yeah because that was my first pregnancy and I was afraid coffee intake Will affect my baby 🤭 but I did it too avoid me do not take water intake. I'm super lazy to drink water when I drink coffee. That's the valid reason 😀
Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend 🌸❤️

Hello Anggrek,
I felt your pain while reading this.
Congrats on your marriage.💝 💞
It's so sad to learn of your loss, and I can imagine that this is a difficult time for you. I'm happy that you chose to share this with the coffee community.
I do believe this to be true too:)
Hello, Milly
Everything really seems fast. I just feel happy after marriage, then feeling lost about my mom died, and now the baby. But I feel like I just get used about the pain. So, I'm okay 😊
Congratulations on your wedding but I'm so sad and sorry for your loss.
No problem. That's okay, and I feel stronger now 😊❤️ Thank you for reading
I'm so sorry for your loss @anggreklestari. Just keep strong everything has a purpose maybe its not the right time yet but someday you will rewarded for what your heart desired. Thanks for the positive thoughts for today. Best regards!
Thank you so much, @luckylaica 😊
You're welcome and take care always 💝.
First, I'm sorry for your loss, I can't imagine how hard it must be to go through something like that, but at the same time I respect and admire the way you reflected and mixed what happened to you with the experience of drinking coffee.
I had never heard about such an interesting mix of coffee with apple juice, I usually drink the classic coffees. Reading your post makes me think that I should try different types of coffees.
Thanks for telling us about your experience!❤️
Always be hard but have to accept the reality instead of angry for what the thing happened.
If you like Apple juice, then you should try to mix Apple juice with coffee 😊
Oh, turut berduka cita, say. But please don't be too sad. When it's yours, it will come to you when the time is right :).
Look, I became a mom at my late thirties and after 7 years of marriage.
By the way..now I am really curious how the coffee tastes like, that's really interesting invention. Tomorrow I will try to make one, however I only have sweet apples at home and no ready to drink apple juice either.
Unfortunately the supermarkets are closed at sunday here so...probably I'd have to wait till monday :).
Thank you, Mbak ❤️
Waktu gak terasa ya. Sekarang Jana udah mau jadi gadis ❤️
Kalian ada rencana pulang ke Indonesia?
Kalau menurut saya, rasanya enak, mbak. Tipe yang mirip dengan lemonade coffee. Cuma klo tipe kopi dengan Apple juice agak sedikit manis. Cocok untuk yang gak terlalu manis. Tapi bagi orang yang selalu minum manis, kayaknya gak bakalan cocok ehehe
Hhahaha, jadi gadis kecil. Bbrp bulan lagi 6 tahun dia. Masuk SD hehe
I'm sorry for your loss. I felt your pain. Sometimes life makes us think it's cruel, but we have so many blessings to be thankful for if we look at the bright side. The right things will come at the right time. sending hugs❤️🌸
grateful always works for any moments 😊
I like how you incorporate the young soul into your iced coffee.. you're always creative in presenting your content.. !LUV !LADY
It's my first time knowing about your sad past and I thought you don't have a husband hehe... But have you made a new one after the incident? My mother got a miscarriage too before and I saw how she grieved the loss..

I am so sorry for your loss sis. Life can be so cruel sometimes. It takes a lot of courage to talk about it especially out in the open.
This is such a unique blend of coffee. Djiwa Muda is the first coffee I see with a mix of apple and coffee. I am assuming it does taste interesting and refreshing as it is iced. Wishing you many blessings and may God make your wishes come true with another gift soon sis.
Thanks sis. Sad thing happens to make us stronger than before.
I love so much the taste. Really fresh
Hopefully, now much better. I know that with every difficulty there will be ease. Occasionally stop by my house, it looks like we will harvest lettuce next week :D
Sorry for your lost sis @anggreklestari. Don't lose hope in God and i do hope you enjoy the coffee
For sure sis. I don't lose hope ❤️
Great sis :)
So sorry dear friend, for what happened, may the lord guide you more. Enjoy your time
Hey @angreeklestari! Sending you a big hug! I can't imagine how painful is to go through a miscarriage. Thanks for your post and showing us this new drink. I couldn't imagine that apples and coffee would be a great combination!
Without the sour/bitterness we won't know how great the sweet is, so it's all needed to balance it all.
Sorry for your loss by the way. I can't imagine the pain, but I admire your strength. I totally get why you took a "break".
Take care yah! ❤️
