When making coffee, many people usually do not think about water, considering it a completely ordinary component. Meanwhile, this is a very important ingredient on which the quality of the drink depends. But what if you try to combine coffee with mineral water? This can be done in several ways: serve it separately, pour it into a ready-made drink, or use it as a base.
We cook according to all the rules
Compliance with technology is an important point, but there are still some nuances, without knowledge of which you will not be able to obtain the desired flavor and aromatic characteristics of the product.
- For a split-serve recipe, it is recommended to use only natural, freshly ground coffee beans. A sip of clean water after coffee cleanses the receptors, which helps you perceive all the flavors. But this only makes sense if a natural product was used. In other options, it is allowed to take a high-quality soluble analogue.
- Natural mineral water (table water) must have a mineralization of up to 1 g/l inclusive, that is, intended for constant use. Medicinal or medicinal-table drinks, which are used for irregular regular drinking or for medicinal purposes, are not suitable. A liquid with a concentration of biologically active substances of 2 g/l inhibits extraction and does not allow the taste and aroma of the grains to reveal themselves.
- Separately, you can serve still mineral water with coffee. But for a chilled version and a cocktail with syrup/liqueur, it is preferable to choose medium or highly carbonated.
It is important for everyone to know about contraindications
There will be negative health consequences from the effects of an energy cocktail on the body in any case. And if for some they go almost unnoticed, for others they can become fatal.
It is important to understand that energy drinks can provoke the development and worsening of problems with the cardiovascular system and kidneys. People with pathologies should remember this.
For pregnant women, breastfeeding women, children and teenagers, Coca-Cola with coffee is generally contraindicated. Healthy people can afford this very dubious pleasure, but not more often than once every two weeks and only in cases where there is no other opportunity to cheer up.
