How to make coffee drinks that just taste great.How to make coffee drinks that taste great easy peasy in the comfort of your own home. Most coffee drinks are espresso based drinks. Just go down to your local coffee shop or even McDonalds and you’ll find a plethora of espresso based drinks. But we can make coffee based drinks that taste just as good in our own homes with an espresso maker, milk, flavorings and garnishes. There are many varieties of flavorings and they don’t have to be all sugary. You can buy sugar free flavorings and even organic varieties if you are so inclined and you may be if you are buying organic free trade beans. Why not go whole hog and get organic milk or soy milk as well as an organic mocha flavoring and a whipped cream garnish organic or otherwise just makes my mouth start watering! How about an alcoholic variety? Try this Espresso Martini Drink Recipe. Or how about this Frappuccino Recipe 2 shots (3 oz.) espresso¼ cup granulated sugar1 tbsp. pectin or 1 tsp. + 1 tsp. arrowroot (gives it a thicker feel in your mouth but you could leave it out.2 ½ cups low-fat milk Preparation: Stir sugar into espresso; cool it. Stir in milk and pectin until it’s dissolved. Fill a glass with ice and either serve it over ice or blend for 30-45 seconds. Try this Allegate it’s delicious Pull 2 shots of espresso and pour them over vanilla or vanilla and chocolate ice cream or gelato. Add a half ounce of Kalua or whipped cream and dark chocolate shavings. Americano…a couple of ounces of espresso and top with hot water to taste and add sugar if necessary. Café au lait. My personal favorite…use cold brewed or Cuban style coffee and equal amounts of milk or soy milk…sugar to taste…had this in Key West the first time and man was it good! Cappuccino. Pull a shot into a cappuccino cup and add steamed milk…one to two shots per 8 ounce cup to taste.
