Iced Coffee

Iced coffee looks fancy in tall glasses in coffee shops, but it’s very easy to recreate it at home. Make some fresh coffee and leave it to cool, then blend it together with milk (or non-dairy milk) and sugar/sweetener to taste. Put some ice in the glass and pour the drink over it.

Latte

Lattes look fancy with the milk foam art, but that final touch is totally optional. At home, you can mix coffee with heated and whisked milk. If you’re feeling extra, sprinkle some cinnamon on the top. Adding spices like pumpkin pie spice is a great way to turn a regular cup of coffee into a wonderful treat.

Mocha

Mocha is very similar to a latte, except that it has an additional layer of chocolate. The method is the same as when making a latte, but use a glass instead of a cup and spread some chocolate syrup around the edges before adding coffee and milk.

Instructions

In order to make the drink, you’re required to add a raw egg to the coffee grounds before you start the brewing process. Some people even add the shells. This creates a thick mixture that comes with a unique set of benefits. The egg clarifies the coffee and helps the grounds separate from the water.

It also extracts the bitterness and gives your beverage a better aroma. There’s no sign of bitterness or acidity in the brew. After you let it simmer for a few minutes, the grounds will float to the top and leave you with a clear, mild beverage.

You can watch the process of making it and learn more about it in the video below. We hope you’ll give this unique drink a try and see for yourself if it’s worth adding the extra steps to your typical morning brew!

Ingredients

• One double shot of espresso coffee (around 2 to 3 ounces)
• One shot of Licor 43
• Two ice cubes
• One short cocktail glass

Instructions

Making a carajillo is not difficult, but you do have to be careful about the order of the steps you take and the ingredients you use in order to make sure that it is made correctly.

First, start out by brewing a double shot of espresso or simply by making two separate shots if your machine doesn’t have the capacity to make a double shot.

Next, add the coffee over the two ice cubes and allow it to cool slightly before adding one shot of Licor 43. Stir gently with a spoon but be sure to completely mix the two drinks together.

Sip slowly at your own preferred temperature and let the dark, bitter, roastiness of the coffee combine for a delicious drink with the sweet spiciness of the liquor. Enjoy!

This tool, which is commonly found as an attachment to espresso machines, is key in warming up milk and getting it smooth, velvety, and frothed so that it can be added to make special coffee drinks.

But while many people assume that not having a milk frother at home prevents them from frothing milk, that actually isn’t true. There is a fool-proof way to do it as long as you have a saucepan, a jar with a tight lid, and a thermometer!

Here’s how

Step one: Place the amount of milk that you need for your drink and heat in a saucepan to the temperature that you need it to be for your drink. Use a thermometer to determine how hot the milk is.

Step two: Once it reaches the required temperature, pour the milk into a glass jar, and seal the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for 45 to 60 seconds or until the milk has expanded in size and small bubbles have formed. Add to the coffee, and enjoy!

Check out these three liqueurs that you should definitely try with coffee.

Bailey’s Irish Cream

Bailey’s Irish Cream, which combines a cream liquor with the taste of Irish Whiskey, goes great in coffee. Just simply add a quantity which is approximately equal to the amount that you’d put of milk in your coffee and you’re good to go.

Kahlua

Do you like black coffee and cringe at the idea of altering the flavor of your coffee too much? Kahlua, a coffee-flavored liqueur made with rum and a little bit of sugar, is a great option to add to your coffee.

Hazelnut Liqueur

Hazelnut-flavored coffee drinks are incredibly popular, and one brilliant boozy idea to take advantage of this idea is to add hazelnut liqueur to your joe. Amaretto and Frangelico are two potential choices.

Quality Chocolate

An amazing mocha starts with quality chocolate. A dark chocolate bar will give your drink a good balance and it will mix well with the coffee.

Coffee Roast

Chocolate is a strong flavor, so mix it with a medium to full-body roast to compliment the sweetness of the chocolate and the creaminess of the milk. Look for coffees that have flavor notes of chocolate and chocolates that have flavor notes of coffee.

Salt

Add a pinch of salt to your drink to balance out the sweetness of the chocolate.

Shake It

For iced mochas, shake it like a cocktail in a shaker to cull down the hot espresso. Pour the espresso shot into a glass and then pour it into cold milk with chocolate syrup, and then shake it on ice before pouring it into a glass. This will help decrease the melted ice, leading to a less watered-down drink.

Check out these three choices, which all go great with coffee to make a simple and tasty drink.

Kahlua

If you like the taste of your black coffee and don’t want to alter it too much, the Mexican liqueur known as Kahlua might be right for you. Adding a splash of this sweet coffee liqueur to your joe won’t change the taste much, but it sure is good.

Amaretto

Almond and coffee go together fantastically, which makes Amaretto another great pick for adding to your coffee to make a cocktail. Don’t overdo it, as the flavor of this liqueur is strong. Just add a few drops, and you’ll be good to go.

Bailey’s Irish Cream

Cream liqueurs are another great choice for coffee, adding an alcoholic splash using a dairy product that is already commonly used with coffee. Bailey’s, which combines milk and sugar with Irish whiskey, is a natural choice.

It’s undeniable, though, that one of the worst parts of any coffee drink is when the ice cubes start to melt and your drink takes on a bland watery flavor. So, how can you fix that?

Have you ever thought about making your own coffee ice cubes? Here’s how!

Instructions:

1. Make a strong batch of coffee, around 16 ounces in total. You can do this by making your coffee in a Moka pot or simply by adding more coffee than you normally would to a traditional drip coffee maker.
2. Wait for the coffee to cool, and then transfer it to an ice cube tray that you would use for making normal cubes. Place it into the freezer, allow them to set, and then your coffee ice cubes are ready!
3. You can use them to cool down your favorite coffee drink without losing any of the flavor of the beverage. Enjoy!

While the cold winter months of the year are more appropriate for hot coffee drinking, the warmer months of the year are a great time for cold brew coffee to be produced and enjoyed.

Hot coffee is a great antidote to cold mornings, helping people get comfortable and wake up in spots all over the planet. However, on a warm spring afternoon in the sun, wouldn’t it be great if you had a different, more refreshing option?

This is where cold brew comes into play. Brewed using a special method that involves placing large quantities of coarsely-ground coffee into cold water and then filtering it out, this drink is traditionally served as it is brewed: cold.

Pop a couple of ice cubes in a glass of cold brew and a splash of milk and sugar (if you please), and you have one of my favorite warm-weather pick-me-ups. Cold brew provides the coffee boost that you want without weighing you down with the heat of the traditional beverage on a warm day.

So, what are you waiting for? Start ordering cold brew today!
