Connoisseurs, zealots and guardians of the Great and Mighty can immediately throw not just a stone at the author of the article, but a whole block. And they will be right. Indeed, the word “glace” from French (namely, in France, this drink was invented) is translated as “ice”, and it should be written with one letter “c”. And just such a spelling can be found in the “right books”, but somehow it happened that the masses are more comfortable thinking that this word is written with two “s”, so it is more refined to be heard and written: something like an essay ( a small literary sketch) or a lass (a ribbon bookmark attached to the spine of an elite book).
Therefore, the author, talking about how to make coffee with a glasse, will write this word with two "s". So, this drink, as already mentioned, came to us from France. Already from the translation of the word it becomes clear that it is used only in chilled form. And that coffee is necessary for its preparation, and ... and here the logic fails, since we do not need ice at all. And we need real cream ice cream, the best is ice cream. Coffee, of course, can be taken instant, as a result, you still get glasse coffee. The recipe also allows dilution of the powder with water. But it’s better to brew strong coffee from ground roasted beans. Agree that a drink made from soluble powder does not have the divine aroma of natural coffee.
First of all, you need to brew a portion of regular coffee, and then you can start making glasse coffee. Everyone has their own recipe for making coffee, so we will not discuss Arabic, Brazilian and Turkish coffee here. We will only say that you can use the services of coffee machines or just purchase ground grains for espresso. This powder can also be brewed in cezve. To do this, just pour a serving of coffee with boiling water and wait a few minutes. Or, as mentioned above, instant coffee can be diluted in hot water . Do not forget to put in a drink about half a dose of sugar.
After the drink cools down a little, it is necessary to strain it to get rid of the thicket, to tell fortunes on it, of course, will not work, but our goal is to make coffee in the glass. The recipe for this drink does not include the ceremony of tipping the cup on a saucer. Pour the cooled and filtered liquid into a glass goblet, it can be decorated with a rim of powdered sugar, and add a few balls of ice cream. We insert the straw-straw and serve it to the guests. Actually, the straw is not an obligatory attribute of this drink, but sipping through it a cool, exquisitely bitter drink is still much more pleasant.
We have got a classic glasse coffee. This recipe is neither the author nor the only one. History has not conveyed to us the name of the one who first thought of combining ice cream in one glass of coffee, but whoever this unknown culinary specialist is, we are immensely grateful to him.
By the way, many lovers favor coffee glasse, the preparation of which necessarily includes a small dose of alcohol. Yes, you can add a little creamy liquor or rum. The taste of this will only improve, but you can’t overdo it in any case.
You can also add chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and put beautiful colored ice into the finished drink. And to the coffee itself, go to the glasse to serve cookies or cakes. The main thing is not to delay with serving. Otherwise, the ice cream will melt, and you just get coffee with sweet milk.
