Summertime Coffee Treats
Drinking piping hot coffee in the dead of summer is an unattractive proposition even for us coffee addicts up here in Seattle. But when I was looking for iced coffee recipes recently, I found that many of them called for dehydrated coffee crystals…what is this nonsense? Just because you’re drinking an iced coffee beverage doesn’t mean you should sacrifice quality and flavor. For my fellow coffee connoisseurs out there, here’s a delicious iced cappuccino recipe from The Food Network that’s sure to please:
Begin by brewing three ounces of espresso in your cappuccino maker. Fill a fixing glass with ice cubes and pour in the espresso. Once the coffee has cooled, strain out the ice cubes and add 3 to 4 ounces of cold milk to the espresso. Use the steam wand on your machine to create a tight microfoam; add to the beverage. You can enhance the drink your own garnishes or extra flavoring—I prefer some vanilla and almond extracts.
