Hungarian Coffee

Since the 1500's, coffee drinking in Hungary was a community event. A large number of people could enjoy cups of coffee brewed over an open fire in a large kettle of boiling water. Coffee beans were freshly roasted, ground and mixed with salt and a whole raw egg, including the shell. This mixture … [Read More...] about Hungarian Coffee

Lola’s Iced Chocolate Espresso

by


So here I am, back again with another syrup recipe I have conjured up over the summer months. My love for coffee syrups has grown and grown, and so has my bank of recipes. Here is one I thought you might enjoy.

This is a personal favourite for a mid-morning pick-me-up. My early mornings are spent in commuter traffic, horns non-stop and cars bumper to bumper. When I finally arrive at work, I am confronted with a large pile of post to open and five tasks on my desk to be completed by lunchtime. So by the time 11 o’ clock strikes, I am first to the kitchen to make my creation. I don’t always remember the ice, but cold milk alone is better than no iced chocolate espresso at all.

Here is how to make my iced chocolate espresso:

You will need:

  • 1 or 2 shots of espresso (Depending on how strong you like it, I prefer 2)
  • Cold milk (Again, the amount depends on how milky you like your coffee)
  • Monin chocolate coffee syrup
  • Whipped cream
  • Chocolate dust/sprinkles
  • Ice

Directions:

  1. Fill your glass with ice
  2. Add cold milk
  3. Stir in your shot/s of espresso and 1 teaspoon of chocolate syrup
  4. Top with whipped cream and chocolate dust/sprinkles

The beauty with this creation is you can make the drink as strong or weak as you like. If you are a die-hard espresso fan then opt for more shots of espresso and just a dash of milk. If you prefer your coffee weak, opt for more milk than coffee.

This is my latest coffee syrup addiction, and is a perfect pick-me-up with a sweet kick. Since joining Café Rico in June I have created a number of recipes, which I like to share with my fellow coffee enthusiasts. I still love my cinnamon syrup iced coffee but have been trying out new syrups regularly to spice things up. I decided I needed to make something with a bit of a kick to help me through the morning. There are loads of Monin coffee syrups available, including almond, amaretto, white chocolate and mint.

I used to hate coffee until I started working for a wholesale coffee supplier and decided it was time to confront my coffee fears. If you like mochas, you’ll love my iced chocolate espresso. I haven’t looked back, and will post more of my recipes soon!
