Espresso Recipes
Espresso has come a long way since the days of being a simple shot of strong coffee. While this is still a very popular way of drinking it, there are many more ways to enjoy the beverage. Below is a comprehensive list of espresso recipes to enjoy this tasty drink in a new way.
Making A Simple Espresso
The first step is to gain access to an espresso machine. It might sound expensive, but it in the long run it’s cheaper than going to an espresso shop every time you want an espresso. Grind the espresso coffee beans. A typical shot of espresso contains 7 g of coffee and 2 oz. water. Making an espresso is referred to as pulling a shot and it pretty self-explanatory.
Double Espresso
To make a double espresso you would simply add double the amount of coffee and tamp it down with a tamper, which comes with your machine so it would be 14 g of ground espresso coffee beans that you would add. You can also use espresso pods for a quick and easy, no mess and no fuss cup of espresso.
Espresso con Panna
The secret to this espresso recipe is in the freshness of the espresso coffee beans. You can have a single, double or triple shot of espresso and with that a couple of scoops of freshly whipped cream. Serve it immediately. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on top.
Spiced Latte
This is a real comfort drink. It is easy to make and you will think you are at an espresso shop. All you do is to line your glass or mug with honey. Then you will add vanilla, cinnamon and nutmeg. Add the steamed milk and then add the espresso. Usually 1 shot is enough for this drink. Brown sugar also goes well with this kind of Latte.
Cafe Mocha
This is a chocolatey drink using a flavored syrup and topped with quite a bit of milk like a latte. Mochas are often served with whipped cream on top and sometimes chocolate sprinkles on top of that.
Espresso Macchiato
The espresso macchiato is a shot or two of espresso depending on your preference along with foamed milk and it is served in a macchiato cup. Serve it immediately. As a variation you can add caramel syrup which tastes really good!
