In honour of International Coffee Day, we’ve lined up some exciting and unique coffee recipes to try. Best part? You can make in your own home kitchen.
There’s something about smelling coffee that awakens the senses. The aphrodisiac (well, studies say so) is definitely an energiser, and the various notes, flavour profiles, and regions it comes from makes it diverse beverage – with something for everyone.
Coffee brewing is a fun activity – whether brewing a single cup in the solitude of your own company or making a bigger batch for your friends. The beverage also adds to the flavour of most decadent desserts while giving them a sublime, clean quality. It’s also sometimes used in the preparation of meat dishes to make it tender while providing a flavourful exterior.
This International Coffee Day, we urge you to amp up your barista skills, as you sample one of these coffee recipes we’re sure you will fall in love with.
A morning energiser in a dessert, we’re all for it! Enjoy your coffee in the form of a popsicle, which is the perfect blend of fruit (bananas), coffee and more delicious flavour (cinnamon and peanut butter), making it healthy and delectable!
The simple, delicious brew gained popularity during the 2020 lockdown. The simple beverage, known in India before the term Dalgona coffee took over as ‘phenti hui‘ (or beaten) coffee, is a frothy, bittersweet foam made by whisking coffee, sugar and water, which is then topped on to cold or hot milk.
If your want your brew cafe-style, this is one of the coffee recipes you must try. The cold, refreshing beverage is the perfect pick-me-up, and will also serve as a fun afternoon beverage.
The popular beverage is a refreshing coffee that’s cold, milky but not too heavy. The sweetness and creaminess comes from condensed milk, and the freshly brewed coffee adds another layer of flavour and aroma that a simple instant coffee could not give you.
Oreo cookies and coffee make for a delicious combination, and this recipe combines the two into a blend that is refreshing, cold, creamy an all the good things.
A lot of coffee connoisseurs will tell you how French press is one of the basic tools that you can purchase, and indulge in an aromatic, cafe-style brew that’s tonnes better than an instant coffee. And we agree – a black coffee made in a French press is definitely more flavourful than one made using instant coffee, though the latter has its own place when it comes to delicious coffee recipes. A basic French press coffee can later be used to create cocktails, cappuccinos and more, or simply had as is.
Let’s face it. We all dream of the perfect morning when we wake up refreshed, get in some exercise, and leave for work after having a hearty breakfast and an energising coffee. This, however, is not possible on most days. Coming to your rescue is this delicious coffee smoothie, which will be the perfect fix for all those hectic mornings!
Probably one of the easiest coffee recipes, affogato is essentially a coffee dessert which offers a little more than a plain coffee ice cream.
