Have you ever tried experimenting and adding nuts to your coffee? But the resulting delicacy is of a completely different quality and taste.
Modern coffee gourmets prefer to change traditional recipes in favor of newfangled trends. New syrups and crumbs are added, new aftertastes of the drink are developed. Anything that can help enhance and emphasize the beneficial taste of a morning drink is now used as an addition to it. This is how coffee with nuts appeared in a wide variety of variations.
Everyone can decide for themselves how to prepare coffee to get a nutty taste. You can choose the type and integrity of nuts, the type of coffee beans, the presence/absence of cream/milk. And you will still get an exquisite aroma and light taste of nutty coffee.
Traditional hazelnut coffee
The traditional recipe for coffee with nuts is very similar to the familiar Americano. To prepare it, you must first roast coffee and nut beans in the oven or in a dry frying pan; hazelnuts are most often used.
After roasting, they should be ground as finely as possible and also grind the hazelnuts using a coffee grinder to flour. Pour this mixture into 200 ml of water and cook in a pot over low heat. After boiling, it is poured into small cups. Sugar can be added if desired.
For this recipe you can use nutmeg and hazel. Hazelnuts are used as the base because they have a very pronounced aftertaste.
Nut coffee at home
Turkish nut coffee recipe
This wonderful drink came to us from distant times and no less distant countries of the peoples of Africa.
Historians still argue about the specific place of origin of coffee at the very beginning of our era (800 years after Christ).
But all opinions agree on one thing - you need to brew coffee in a clay pot. This is how we get the taste of that proper coffee.
The secret to making a great drink is in the choice of coffee beans. I recommend everyone to buy several types of different coffees in tea stores and grind them together, mixing 2-3 types at a time.
You can achieve a light coffee taste or a sticky chocolate taste. One Lviv coffee shop serves “nut” coffee. I immediately liked it, but I never found a coffee bean with such an aroma.
But a way out of the situation was found quite simply - after all, nuts are sold widely, why not grind them and brew them with coffee?
The result simply fascinated me! Now I’ll start experimenting with different varieties of nuts; hazelnuts and almonds seem to me to be even more appropriate than walnuts.
And in general, every woman should be amazingly able to prepare at least one drink and not give the recipe to anyone from her circle, this is our magic, right?
