Mint & Vanilla Cold Brew:

Cold Brew can be served to guests in any season and you can be creative to make this caffeinated beverage with simple ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 150ml Coldbrew (Any medium or light roast coffee)
• 2-4 Mint leaves
• 30ml Vanilla syrup
• 6-8 Ice cubes

Method:

• Place mint leaves in the bottom of a glass and muddle it with a muddler.
• Add Vanilla syrup, if you don’t have vanilla syrup you can use 20gms of brown (raw) sugar and mix it well.
• Add all the ice cubes into the glass and pour the cold brew over it.

Your refreshing café style cold brew is ready, stir it well before you serve to your guests.

Orange Iced coffee:

Sweet and tangy flavoured coffees have always been people’s favourite. The tartness of the orange and subtle sweetness of the sugar definitely add a delicious tang to freshly brewed medium roast coffee. Try Columbian coffee brewed in French press or Chemex.

 Ingredients:

• 150ml Brewed coffee (French press/ Chemex)
• One medium-sized orange
• 20ml Sugar syrup
• 6-8 Ice cubes

 Directions:

• Make a juice of half orange and pour it into a glass.
• Fill the glass with ice cubes and pour brewed coffee over it.
• Add sugar syrup and stir it.

Dolce Chocolate Latte:

Delicious, easy, café style latte recipe with lots of chocolate and cream thrown in, surely makes for an after food-beverage!

Ingredients:

• 30ml Espresso (Moka pot coffee)
• 60ml Milk
• 60ml Cream
• 20gm White chocolate
• 10ml Vanilla syrup (optional)

Directions:

• In medium-size pan heat milk, cream, white chocolate and espresso until chocolate is melted. Stir it occasionally.

If you want to make it completely vegan, replace milk with almond milk and cream with soy cream. Also if you don’t have an espresso maker or Moka pot at home, don’t give an excuse, and try making your cuppa with south Indian filter decoction.
