Many people can’t imagine life without coffee, and they can be understood. A sip of a fragrant invigorating drink in the morning sets you up for a successful day, perfectly tones up and banishes the remnants of sleep. And although coffee can not get bored, sometimes you want to diversify its taste with new notes. So, what can you add to coffee for taste?
An invigorating dessert
Coffee with chocolate is not just a drink that relieves drowsiness, but a delicious dessert that satisfies all taste buds. Scientists have found that coffee beans contain unique substances that prevent the formation of tumors. The realization that chocolate coffee is also useful makes it especially valuable and significant in our daily diet.
Brew ordinary coffee in a turk from 100 ml of water and 2 tsp of ground coffee. You can fill it with both hot and cold water. Cold water gives a brighter and richer taste, although it slightly increases the cooking time.
Add sugar to the finished drink to taste and leave it to infuse. Melt two squares of bitter chocolate in a water bath, transfer to a cup and pour out the coffee. Stir well and, if you want, add a little warmed cream. Or you can cool the coffee and serve it with cream ice cream. It’s extremely delicious!
Orange freshness
Have you ever tried coffee with orange? The citrus aroma pleasantly sets off the coffee taste, gives the drink freshness and piquancy.
First, prepare the orange supplements. Finely chop the orange zest (2 tsp) and squeeze the juice from the fruit (2 tbsp). Cut 2 orange slices into small pieces. Combine all the citrus ingredients with cardamom, nutmeg and cinnamon — a pinch of each spice, mix well.
And now pour 3 tsp of ground coffee into the turk and lightly fry, stirring, but not adding water-literally 20-30 seconds. This technique will enhance the coffee aroma, make it more saturated and bright. Pour in 120 ml of water and make coffee according to the usual recipe.
Put the citrus pulp with zest and spices in two coffee cups and pour the drink into them. After it is infused, add sugar to taste.
If you consider that caffeine has an analgesic effect, orange coffee can not only relieve a headache, but also fill life with positive and harmony. This drink is perfect for a romantic evening…
Mint Energy
Coffee with mint is considered a powerful energy drink, because it combines the masculine and feminine principles. There is a harmonization of energies, there is cheerfulness and clarity of consciousness.
You can prepare such a drink quite simply by throwing a couple of mint leaves into the finished coffee and adding basil and vanilla to the symphony of taste. But especially delicious is a cold mint-coffee drink with ice, which is nice to refresh yourself in the summer heat.
Mix 150 ml of brewed coffee beans, 50 ml of low-fat milk, 1 tsp of mint syrup in a mixer and whisk until foam is obtained. Pour a few ice cubes into a glass, pour in the coffee and decorate it with a few mint leaves.
By the way, one cup of natural coffee contains about 300 different antioxidants that prolong youth and give longevity. In addition, mint calms the nervous system and helps with depression. This means that this drink is very useful for both men and women.
Cocktail with halva
What else is added to coffee for taste? If you have a sweet tooth, you will like coffee with halva. This oriental dessert can be prepared with sunflower, peanut or sesame halva-it all depends on your preferences.
Make Turkish coffee or espresso, strain it so that there is no sediment. However, there is one secret, so that the thicket itself sinks to the bottom. To do this, pour a teaspoon of cold water into the turk and wait for 30 seconds. That’s it! Now you can safely pour coffee into a cup, without the grounds. Isn’t it simple?
Sweeten the drink with 1 tsp of honey, sugar or syrup. Mash 100 g of any halva with a fork to make a fine crumb, pour 100 ml of hot fat cream and whisk well with a blender. Now pour the coffee into the halva and beat it well again. The coffee cocktail is delicious both hot and cold.
By the way, it is best to grind coffee immediately before preparing the drink to preserve its subtle aroma, which disappears very quickly. And remember, it has already been scientifically proven that coffee lovers are much less likely to have Alzheimer’s disease. And with halva, you cook it or with other additives — it’s not so important…
Cheese is not only in a mousetrap
What can I add to coffee to make it more satisfying? This is especially true on a diet. And how good that there is coffee with cheese, which easily replaces a snack. No more sandwiches and sweets are needed, because cheese completely replaces all these snacks.
For a cheese and coffee masterpiece, take any cheese, but best of all a good and expensive one, like coffee. With a soluble drink, you will definitely not get a decent dessert! And do not get carried away with coffee with aromatic additives, if you do not want to get a taste “cacophony”. In addition, all these flavors are usually of chemical origin.
Bring 50 ml of milk or cream to a boil, then turn off the heat. Add a pinch of salt and 50 g of melted cheese to the milk, and then stir the drink well so that the cheese completely dissolves.
Brew coffee in a turk from 2 tsp. ground coffee beans and 100 ml of water. Let the coffee brew, strain it and pour it into a cup. Sweeten the drink with 1 tsp of sugar and pour in the cheese and milk. Stir the drink well and enjoy its unusual taste!
Air foam
Do you want to be pleasantly surprised? Make coffee with a beaten egg! Sweet, light, tender foam melts in the mouth and can become a real gastronomic discovery for many.
First, beat the eggs, first separating the white from the yolk. With a mixer, beat the protein with 1 tsp. powdered sugar to a strong foam and separately-the yolk with 1 tsp. powdered sugar.
Pour the coffee into a cup (not to the brim), pour in a little beaten egg yolk, wait until it spreads. Put a little protein foam on top, which will remain sprinkled with cocoa powder. This drink not only looks stunningly impressive, but also has an original taste.
You can use pasteurized egg products in bottles instead of ordinary eggs. At least, you will be calm that there are no bacteria and microbes in the egg foam.
And coffee connoisseurs are advised to cook it in a copper turk, in which the taste and aroma of coffee beans are revealed as fully as possible. If you like a soft drink, take only Arabica, if you prefer coffee with bitterness, add robusta!
Coffee and nut duo
In ancient times, in Turkey, the groom always made a promise to provide his wife with coffee in sufficient quantity. As soon as he did not keep his word, his wife could file for divorce. Here is such a love for an invigorating drink!
I wonder if a Turkish woman would like coffee with hazelnuts? Try to cook it yourself.
Fry 2 tsp of hazelnuts until brown, mix the nuts with 4 tsp of medium-roasted coffee beans and grind in a coffee grinder. Prepare a drink in a French press, pour 250 ml of boiling water into the nut-coffee mass. The aroma of coffee and hazelnuts in this case will be revealed more fully.
For a French press, the coffee should be coarse ground, and hot water is poured into the flask slowly, and not all of it — for a start, 100 ml. After that, stir the coffee with a spoon, let it brew for 1 minute and then add the remaining boiling water. After 3 minutes, lower the plunger to the end and drain the coffee into a cup.
Nut coffee is wonderfully combined with cream, chocolate, caramel syrup and oriental spices.
The useful power of lemon
Coffee improves metabolism and removes toxins from the body. But since the active work of the kidneys leads to a large loss of fluid, you need to drink water during the day. The more coffee — the more water!
One of the most useful drinks is coffee with lemon. The fact is that a large amount of vitamin C reduces the caffeine content, so this drink can be drunk by hypertensive and diabetics. Moreover, due to the presence of chlorogenic acid in coffee, it is possible to avoid the development of type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Coffee with lemon is called romano. The recipe for such a drink is simple — a few slices of lemon are put in strong black coffee. There is also a Sicilian coffee, which is prepared with lemon zest and lemon juice, so we will try to cook it.
So, we cook lemon espresso. To start, warm up the turk, put 3 tsp of ground coffee in it, pour 150 ml of cold water and heat over the fire until the foam cap rises. Remove the coffee from the heat, let the foam settle and do this 5-6 times. The main thing is not to bring the coffee to a boil!
Let the drink brew for 2 minutes, and then pour it into cups and add 0.5 tsp of lemon juice to each, serve the sugar separately.
According to Sicilian coffee lovers, lemon espresso relieves drowsiness and returns the joy of life.
