Question
If I dip biscuits in coffee when I eat them, should I also recite a blessing on the coffee (‘Shehakol’), or does the coffee become secondary to the biscuits and therefore does not require a blessing? Thank you very much!
Answer
Hello,
For a biscuit dipped in coffee, you only recite the blessing ‘Mezonot’.
If you also drink the coffee separately, it depends on whether your intention is solely for the biscuits and the remaining coffee is consumed as leftovers - in that case, you do not bless the coffee.
However, if your intention is for both the coffee and the biscuits, you should recite ‘Shehakol’ on the coffee you drink separately.
