One benefit of drinking a beverage that is both historic and
international is the variety of ways you can enjoy it, which
is one of the reasons coffee has become so popular today.
Just go to a local coffee shop and look at the menu. The
flavors, blends and combinations are endless. The Caribbean,
Mexican mocha and Cuban cubano are just a few of the many
you might find.
The Caribbean is an unusual recipe, but worth the try. Bake
a coconut for approximately thirty minutes at 300 degrees
Fahrenheit. Then, remove the coconut and allow it to cool.
Once cool, crack open the shell and remove the grate and
flesh inside. Mix and heat the coconut milk, meat and a half
cup of cow's milk in a pan until it thickens after which you
need to remove the granules of coconut which is best done by
straining the mixture. Then, mix it with a cup of coffee and
enjoy.
The Mexican mocha is a tasty blend of chocolate and coffee,
as with any mocha. Add a teaspoon of chocolate syrup and a
quarter teaspoon each of nutmeg and cinnamon to a cup of
coffee, as well as white sugar to your individual likeness.
For an extra bonus, you can add some whipping cream on top,
or even mix it in.
The Cuban cubano is enjoyed like tequila. Take it straight
and like a shot. Some may prefer to dilute the drink with
some hot milk or rum, but adding any more than a tablespoon
of milk will ruin the invaluable taste of the cubano drink
itself. Go ahead and add rum to taste.
Some other international drinks to enjoy are Turkish,
Vietnamese and Viennese.
To make the Viennese, melt an eighth cup of dark chocolate
into a sauce pan and stir in a tablespoon of light cream.
Once blended, sprinkle some cocoa and cinnamon across the
top and enjoy.
Now, the Turkish is a fairly easy recipe, but you will
certainly benefit from finding a dzezva pot in which to boil
the coffee. Yes, you will need to boil it. Turkish coffee
has a very strong flavor. Begin with some finely ground
Turkish coffee. Pour one cup water into the dzezva and bring
to a boil after adding a half teaspoon of sugar to the pot.
Once it reaches a boiling point, remove it from the heat and
add one teaspoon of the Turkish coffee. Stir, place it back
on the heat and then remove it after you see a layer of
foam. Once it has cooled and settled, drink up and enjoy
this robust, delicious blend.
The Vietnam is one chilled coffee you do not want to miss.
Once you find a Vietnamese coffee press, you are on easy
street as that is the challenging part. Now, place the
grounds into the press, pour one tablespoon of condensed
milk into the bottom of your cup. Pour boiling water over
the press. Let it drip, then stir and add ice.
Besides trying out these recipes, your other option is to
just travel the world and let the local baristas do the
work. Otherwise, it is up to you to use your own
