People tend to create certain stereotypes for themselves. For some reason, it is generally accepted that coffee is a drink that must be hot. There is even a ritual of its preparation and use. But many proponents of the classical method do not even suspect that when chilled, this product is an excellent refreshing agent. To make sure of this, you just need to choose one recipe for cold coffee and try to make it. And after the tasting, you can already make the final decision.
Cooking Frappuccino
In fact, cold coffee is a cocktail that is prepared with the addition of a variety of ingredients. It can be fruit juice, honey, jam, spices and even raw eggs. Any cold coffee recipe is individual and not like the rest. There are many of them.
For starters, consider a cold coffee recipe called Frappuccino.
For its preparation, a pre-cooked double espresso, 200 grams of crushed ice, ½ cup of cold milk and 25 grams of sugar are required.
Procedure:
- You will need a blender to work. All components must be collected in a bowl.
- Cover and beat the mixture until the ice turns into fine crumbs.
- Pour the contents of the jug into a tall glass.
Serving such a cocktail is best with a straw. If desired, chocolate syrup can be added to the mixture . This will slightly change its taste. It will turn out "Frappuccino mocha".
We use a non-standard method
At home, you can try not quite the usual cold coffee recipe. To do this, you will need an ordinary plastic bottle, two coffee filters, threads, a piece of felt and scissors. Of the products for this option, you need only 170 grams of regular ground coffee. The technology for preparing the drink is as follows:
- At the bottle you need to cut the bottom and set it with the neck down. As a stand, you can use a regular jar.
- The bottle neck must be plugged tightly with felt and closed with a lid.
- Pour coffee into the filters and tie each of them with a thread.
- Pour cold water into the bottle.
- Dip coffee in it. In this condition, the structure should stand in a cool dark place for at least a day.
After that, you can try the drink. Pour it into glasses through the neck by unscrewing the cork. Felt in this situation will act as a filter, delaying large particles of ground coffee.
We use a coffee machine
It is difficult to imagine a recipe for cold coffee from a coffee machine, because this device was originally intended for heating. Nevertheless, with it, the preparation of soft cocktails is greatly simplified. Take, for example, a variant of cold aromatic coffee, which is borrowed from the Indians.
For such a drink you will need:
- 90 ml espresso coffee;
- 100 ml of yogurt;
- 4 ice cubes;
- 40 ml of a solution prepared from sugar and water in a ratio of 1: 1.
Such a drink is prepared in stages:
- Espresso is first brewed. To do this, simply insert the capsule into the coffee machine.
- At this time, you can prepare a sugar solution by mixing the components until they are completely dissolved.
- Now you need to pour all the ingredients into the mixer and beat them there until a creamy mass.
The drink is usually served in small glasses with a capacity of not more than 100 ml. It is better to drink it through a straw. Although in this regard, everyone has their own opinion.
Add alcohol
The recipe for cold coffee in Greek does not usually look like . This option differs from the others in that it contains alcohol.
There are two ways to make such a drink.
In the first case, the following set of products will be needed for one serving: for 1 cup of ordinary freshly prepared black coffee, you need 20 milliliters of Ouzo tincture and the famous Greek cognac Metax.
For the second option, you need to take equal amounts of coffee, Metax and Cointreau liquor.
In both cases, the same cooking method is used:
- First, alcoholic products are mixed together.
- The resulting mixture is poured with prepared coffee.
It is unlikely that such a drink can be drunk in the morning. The presence of an alcohol component can play a bad joke. It is better to save it until the evening and drink in company with your loved one. Unusual taste and pleasant aroma will help to conduct a conversation more relaxed.
Fragrant cool
It is interesting that the Greeks also came up with the Frappe cold coffee recipe. This is despite the fact that the original name of the product itself has French roots and translates as "cool". In Greece and the island of Cyprus, this drink is very popular.
The story of his appearance is not quite ordinary. They say that he was invented 60 years ago by the representative of the company Nestle, Yannis Dritsas. During a major fair, one of the workers wanted to make coffee for themselves. But not finding hot water anywhere, I decided to whip all the ingredients in a mixer. And the enterprising boss took an unusual recipe for service. And so the first Frappe appeared in Europe. There are many options for its preparation with the addition of ice cream, juice, chocolate or alcohol. Everyone can choose the one that suits him best. Cocoa, cinnamon or grated chocolate are usually used to decorate such a drink. One of the most unusual recipes is the peach Frappe. For work you will need:
- 600 grams of pulp of fresh peaches;
- a glass of ice cubes;
- 0.5 liters of cow and coconut milk;
- 100 grams of sugar;
- vanilla stick
- 8 grams of cinnamon (for decoration).
Preparing the drink in stages:
- First you need to finely chop the fruit.
- Bring the milk and vanilla to a boil and then cool.
- Beat all prepared components with a blender.
- Pour the mass into glasses, in which crushed ice must be put in advance.
The finished product can only be decorated with cinnamon. After that, it can be safely served to guests.
Milk tenderness
The recipe for iced coffee with ice cream is better known to everyone as a “glace coffee”.
To prepare it, you need only three components:
- whipped cream;
- ice cream;
- freshly brewed coffee.
The technology is simple:
- Need to make coffee. To do this, you can use a Turk or a coffee machine.
- After this, the product must be cooled to approximately 10 degrees. Free time can be spent whipping cream. It is better to do it yourself, since similar products from the store, as a rule, are prepared from plant materials. They are usually less tender and not so fragrant.
- Put ice cream on the bottom of the glass.
- Pour coffee on it.
- Garnish with cream. This must be done immediately before they have settled.
It is customary to serve such a drink in a special glass glass on a leg with a handle. And next to it on a saucer should be a teaspoon. It is better to drink it through a straw.
Fruit Flavor Drink
It is very nice to pamper yourself with something unusual during the summer heat. For this case, the recipe for cold coffee with orange juice is perfect . Such a drink can not only quench thirst, but also give energy and replenish the body's supply of useful vitamins A, C, B and E.
To prepare it, you must have on your desktop:
- 20 grams of cream with a fat content of 20 percent;
- a little sugar;
- 50 grams of fresh espresso;
- 50 grams of orange juice.
The whole process takes place in three stages:
- Beat sugar with cream.
- Add juice there, and then pour the resulting mass into a glass.
- Gently pour cold coffee over the blade of the knife. He should go down.
If for someone this method seems too complicated, then you can simplify the cooking process a little. Mix coffee, juice and sugar in a blender. After that, it remains only to pour everything into a glass, and then garnish with whipped cream. The effect will be almost the same.
