Ahead of the cold, and the best we can do for ourselves is not only to stock up with warm clothes, but also to envelop ourselves in comfort. One of these attributes of comfort will be warming coffee with Baileys. Let's figure out what kind of a cozy drink it is.
A bit of history
The classic name for the drink is CoffeeBaileys. And he received it in honor of the eponymous liquor, which consists of cream and Irish whiskey. The production of the Beilis drink began in 1974, and over the years of its existence, liquor has become very popular throughout the world. The main fans of the drink are cute young ladies. All because the taste of the drink is gentle and warming. According to statistics, half of the milk that is produced in Ireland goes to the production of Baileys. The drink also has some useful properties: it fights insomnia, irritability, depression. One point that you should pay attention to: those who are trying to get rid of extra pounds should give up liquor. And all because the drink contains high-calorie cream.
Making coffee at home
There is no person in the world who will not be pleased with the pleasant taste of coffee with Baileys. That's because the combination of bitter natural coffee with cream liqueur is the perfect tandem that has a bright taste. To get this enchanting drink, it is important to strictly adhere to certain rules. Making coffee is not fast, so you will have to be patient and make an effort, but the result will definitely not leave anyone indifferent. A fragrant, rich drink will delight.
Classic recipe
The Beilis recipe with coffee at home is medium in complexity. We begin to disassemble it with the necessary components. So we need:
- water (100 ml);
- coffee beans (4 teaspoons);
- Beilis (4 tablespoons);
- milk (50 ml);
- dark chocolate (2 teaspoons);
- whipped cream (2 tablespoons).
Advice for those who do not use whipped cream: without loss of taste, they can be replaced with ice cream, only if it is the most common ice cream. How much beilis to add to coffee? At least four tablespoons.
Step-by-step instruction
So, we begin to prepare aromatic coffee with Baileys:
- We send coffee beans to the coffee grinder, exactly as much as indicated in the recipe. Specialists recommend using finely ground grains so that the coffee drink retains a rich palette of taste. Grind the grains into powder for a minute.
- Now we need to fill the coffee in Turku and fill it with prepared water. It is important to mix thoroughly so that no lumps of coffee remain. Only after this can the future drink be sent to the fire.
- Coffee is brewed over low heat and in no case is brought to a boil. After removing the Turk from the stove, let the drink brew for a couple of minutes so that the coffee grounds settle. Now the base for coffee with Baileys is ready.
- Next, you need to pour coffee into a cup so that all the grounds remain in the Turk and do not fall into the container.
- Now heat the milk in the same way, without boiling, then add to the coffee until it has cooled.
- So it's time for a delicious liquor. It should be slightly heated over a fire and brought to the stage of “initial boiling”. It is important to prevent the liquor from boiling. Now you can remove the Baileys from the fire and gently pour into a cup of coffee.
- The next step is whipped cream or ice cream. Spread the ingredient on the surface of the finished drink. Experts advise: if there is no ice cream or whipped cream at hand, you can prepare a soft addition to coffee yourself. To do this, you need the most ordinary cream. But there is one “but”: only 20-30% cream will do, whipped drinks will not work.
We complete the cooking process with bitter chocolate. Take one where the cocoa content is at least 70% and grate on a coarse grater. Before you make coffee, you can throw a bar of chocolate in the freezer, so it will rub better. Pour chocolate chips into coffee. Sugar is optional. Voila, coffee with Baileys is ready!
How to serve Baileys coffee?
Another important aspect that is rarely paid attention to is utensils. Traditionally, Baileys coffee is served in porcelain cups. Make sure that the walls of the dishes are thick, so the coffee will cool more slowly, especially this will play a good service for those who add ice cream to coffee. Another option that is ideal for a Beilis coffee recipe is a tall glass made of heat-resistant glass. A great addition will be cocktail tubes.
