This refreshingly sweet Latte is not only vegan but also an immunity booster. Perfect for your start of the day, Almond Cinnamon Latte can be quite filling as well.
What you need:
1. 60ml Almond Milk ( You also can try Vanilla almond milk)
2. Two tsp Demerara / Brown Sugar
3. Just a pinch of Cinnamon powder, plus additional for garnish
4. Α pinch of Nutmeg Powder
5. Shot of Espresso or Mocha Coffee
6. Cinnamon stick, for garnishing.
How to go about it:
Put almond milk, cinnamon and brown sugar in a microwave safe container and cover it with the lid. Shake for a minute to mix it well and until it becomes frothy.
Uncover the container and microwave in 30-second increments till it’s steaming hot.
And if you have an electric hand-blender for frothing, then it’s even better. After heating the ingredients, you can do the frothing. You can now add coffee to your choice of mug and pour this mixture over it. Stir gently to combine. For garnishing you may top with a cinnamon stick and sprinkle some ground cinnamon powder.
As a matter of fact, this is something tasty and quite easy to make. It is like custard smooth in its texture, primarily because we use condensed milk to make it. The condensed milk makes the ice-cream extra creamy and the cardamom adds a sweet flavor. Therefore making it just perfect for the Indian taste buds and apt for celebrations.
What you need:
1. 2 cups Light Cream (35% fat cream)
2. 125 ml coarsely ground Coffee Powder (Preferably darker roast)
3. 6 whole Cardamom, lightly crushed
4. Pinch Cinnamon
5. 1⁄2 tsp Salt
6. 4 Egg Yolks
7. 300ml Condensed Milk
How to go about it:
Combine cream, coffee, cardamom, cinnamon, and salt in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mix to boil and remove from the heat to let it steep for about twenty minutes. Now strain this cream mixture and pour it in a saucepan to heat at medium-high until it’s heated through nicely.
Alternatively, in a separate bowl, whisk egg yolks and condensed milk till it’s pale and smooth to look at. Now, slowly whisk the hot cream mixture prepared earlier to this egg yolk mixture until smooth. You will need to cover this and chill it completely before making the final preparation.
Pour this chilled mixture directly into the ice cream maker and follow the process as Instructed in the ice cream maker. It needs to be transferred to a sealable container to freeze it to the final setting.
Yes, the Mocha-Cappuccino is a one step ahead version of the regular cappuccino with a dash of Vanilla and lots of cocoa! It is very simple though to make yet very delicious for a classic recipe to be tried with espresso.
What you need:
1. 10 ml Vanilla Syrup
2. 20gm Cocoa Powder
3. 30ml Freshly Brewed Espresso
4. 150-180 ml Hot Milk
How to go about it:
You can try some dark roast like Robusta for a fresh brew directly into the mug. Add the Vanilla syrup and Cocoa Powder to the mug and mix it well. Alternatively, you need to steam and texture the hot milk into a thick silky foam. Slowly pour the steamed milk into the mug to retain the foam and shake the frother slowly. In fact, you can also experiment with marshmallow chunks for garnish.
If you have a major sweet tooth, this is your cup of coffee! With a strong caffeine kick, this refreshing iced espresso is made with simple ingredients. A tempting blend of chocolate in espresso, this drink is worth a try.
What you need:
1. 20 gm Choco chips
2. 45 ml freshly brewed espresso
3. 30ml cold milk
4. 1 scoop chocolate ice-cream
5. Whipped cream
6. Ice-cubes
How to go about it:
Start with brewing the espresso and leaving it aside for cooling. In a separate jar blend ice-cream, milk, espresso and ice-cubes until smooth. Now add the Choco chips and do a quick blend of 20 seconds. Pour the drink in a glass and add a dash of whipped cream and sprinkle Choco chips as garnishing.
And for the Vegan enthusiasts, remember to replace milk and ice-cream with about 80 ml of Soy cream.
