All-Purpose Coffee Rub

allpurposecoffeerubThis all purpose coffee rub is our all-time favourite dry rub that we use on everything. It’s earthy, flavourful and great to use on anything you want to quickly cook up on the grill. Quick to make – you can double, triple or quadruple the recipe so that you only need to make it once and have plenty leftover.

2 Tbsp. garlic powder
2 Tbsp. ground coffee (medium grind)
2 Tbsp. paprika
2 Tbsp. onion powder or dried onion flakes
1 Tbsp. ground cumin
1 Tbsp. sea salt
1 Tbsp. brown sugar
2 Tbsp. cayenne (reduce the amount for a less spicy rub)

Combine together in a large bowl and mix.

Store in a well sealed container away from direct sunlight. Sunlight damages spices and takes away the flavour with time.

Makes 1 cup.
