How to make caramel coffee. Caramel coffee. Turkish coffee with caramel

Coffee with the addition of caramel is a wonderful drink, suitable for both coffee lovers and lovers of delicacies. The sweet aroma of caramel coffee will wonderfully complement outdoor recreation in the close company of close friends and will warm you up on cool evenings.

You can prepare coffee with caramel in different ways: someone brews coffee and caramel separately, combining them just before serving; someone simply doubles the amount of sugar in Turkish coffee. True, in the latter version, sugar is first poured into the cuzard and caramel is made from it, and only then they begin to brew coffee.

You can diversify caramel coffee using various additives that enrich the taste and aroma. For example, you can add chocolate, vanilla, cream. Coffee with caramel is often served as a light dessert. Guests are guaranteed to love it.

There are several variations of this coffee drink.

Cooking features

Coffee based on thickened sugar, the aroma of which contains sweet caramel notes, is called Kon Pana .

When cooked correctly, its aftertaste will be not only sugary, but also slightly bitter. The main ingredient is Robusta or Arabica beans. The smell and taste of the finished drink depend on their quality.

To brew Kon Pan, do not skimp on coffee beans. It is also not recommended to use a soluble product instead of a ground one.

1. You can make hot chocolate or caramel cappuccino, the main thing is not to overcook the beans on the fire. Then the drink will taste burnt.
2. Pay special attention to the process of caramelization of granulated sugar. This ingredient does not need to be overheated. It is important to turn the solid sweetness into syrup.
3. To avoid violating the caramel preparation technology, regularly shake the pot in which you cook it. According to the classic recipe, you need to add a little mineral water to the container for frying granulated sugar.
4. It is not advisable to use a coffee grinder instead of a Turk, since this device will not allow you to preserve the maximum amount of aromatic properties of the beans.
5. You can make salted caramel if you wish. To do this, you need to dilute the sugar with salt. Further technology is similar.

But regardless of the taste of the coffee base, do not bring the liquid to a boil while brewing, as this will ruin the taste of the finished drink.

A few rules for making caramel-flavored coffee

When preparing such an unusual delicacy, it is worth considering some nuances in its preparation. The coffee should be at the same time sweet, with a caramel flavor that does not overwhelm the bitter coffee notes. The softness of the drink is given by a certain number of grains, their composition and origin. Here are some features to consider at home:

To prevent your coffee from turning out with a burnt smell, prepare the caramel syrup correctly. It's better to wait a little than to rush and end up with burnt sugar instead of liquid syrup.

Remember that you are making coffee, not caramel. No amount of sweetness can beat spoiled coffee. Buy high-quality grains, without mold and with a pleasant aroma. Soluble in this case should not be used either, it not only differs in taste, but may also contain harmful compounds. It is better to prepare any coffee in a special container - a Turk. It is ideal for preparing coffee drinks, as the beans reveal their true taste and aroma. Monitor the preparation process so that the coffee does not run away, and most importantly, the integrity of the foam is preserved.

How to make caramel to add to coffee at home

Everything is quite simple, the only thing is that it’s a little difficult to cook for one serving, except perhaps in a Turkish pot, and then cook it in it. Typically, the ingredients in the recipe make about a cup of sauce, which can be stored in the refrigerator and used later by heating in the microwave or simply tossing into a hot Americano.

Ingredients

• 1 cup granulated sugar;
• 60 ml water;
• 2 tablespoons butter;
• 150 ml heavy cream;

• A level spoon of salt is for lovers of a salty taste.

Place the sugar in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and add water until all the sugar is wet. Cook over low heat until all the granulated sugar has melted and becomes transparent. Turn up the heat a little higher and heat until the liquid turns a light honey color. Remove the pan from the heat, add the cream and butter (and spices and salt if desired), stir until thoroughly combined. Let cool slightly and pour into a container.

The mixture will initially be liquid, but as it hardens it will thicken. Try heating it and making it more liquid in the microwave or in a water bath. If it doesn’t work, transfer it to a saucepan, add a little water and cream, and boil again.

What can you “grind”?

Will you be grinding coffee today?

The word “grind” denotes an action and answers the question: what to do?

This is an imperfective verb that has several meanings:

• crush grain, turning it into flour;
• grind to make powder.

Based on these values, we find out what can be crushed:

• grind grain in a mill;
• grind coffee;
• grind flour;
• grind medicinal herbs into powder

Our ancestors took grain to the mill to grind

In a figurative meaning, this word appears in the phraseological unit “to grind with one’s tongue,” which means “to chat,” “to talk idle talk.”

This verb is often replaced with the word “chalk,” which is completely wrong. Perhaps this speech error arises by analogy with the present tense forms of the verb “to grind”, in the root of which there is an alternation of vowels o//e.

Let's observe by changing it by persons and numbers:

• 1 person I grind - we grind
• 2nd person you are shallow - you are shallow
• 3 face he grinds - they grind.

Nevertheless, the letter “o” is written at the root of the original infinitive and related words:

So, depending on the meaning of the statement, we will choose the correct word “grind” in combination with the nouns “grain”, “coffee”, “flour”, etc.

Let's practice using this word correctly by reading the following sentences.

Examples

Early in the morning, grandfather Vasily took him to the mill to grind grain.

Olga began grinding coffee to brew a flavorful drink.

She didn’t seem to hear me and continued to talk nonsense.

An electric meat grinder can quickly grind meat to make minced meat.

Cinnamon

The taste of the invigorating product depends on the degree of roasting of the sweetness that is included in its composition. If it has acquired a dark brown tint, then the coffee will be bitter; if it is slightly golden, it will have a nutty aftertaste.

It's very easy to prepare. For this you will need:

• ground Arabica beans;
• cinnamon stick;
• mineral water;
• sugar.

Recipe:

1. First you need to caramelize the main sweetness. To do this, melt it over low heat.
2. As soon as the sugar becomes liquid, pour ground coffee beans into the Turk and stir its contents.
3. Place the cinnamon shelf in the container. This must be done before the drink boils so that the spice shares its aromatic properties with it.
4. Remove it from the stove after a fluffy creamy foam begins to form. The Turk returns to the fire after it has completely settled.
5. Repeat the manipulation twice.
6. Leave for a couple of minutes before pouring into cups.

From the history of the issue

Coffee as a drink would have been banned in many countries for a long time. At the beginning of the 17th century it penetrated into Europe. But before that, its properties were discovered in Muslim countries. The drink, which gave vigor and strength to a tired body, became very popular. Coffee shops were opened, where people sat for many hours, sipping coffee, talking, and relaxing. After a while, they began to miss prayer meetings. Therefore, the drink was prohibited. It was only two centuries later that coffee returned to the Arab world.

In the 18th century, the drink conquered America. It was here that they began to grind it and serve it in powder form. In Russia, they learned about coffee in 1665, during the reign of Peter I’s father. Alexei Mikhailovich was offered a new medicine for “runny nose, headaches and arrogance.” This is how the drink came to Russia. Peter Alekseevich, Catherine II, and Anna Ioanovna really liked the invigorating drink.

Old Believers considered the coffee drink a “satanic drink.”

Ingredients:

• ground robusta beans;
• mineral water;
• vanilla sugar;
• ground cinnamon;
• nutmeg;

• heavy cream.

Step-by-step cooking method:

1. Caramel coffee is brewed in a Turk. To do this, add sugar and spices to the bottom. Place the container on low heat.

3. As soon as foam appears, add some mineral water to the container.
4. Spill the coffee. Add heavy cream to each cup.

To decorate the drink, it is recommended to sprinkle it with nutmeg or grated chocolate.
