Adding caramel to coffee makes it taste special: richer, more delicate and sweet. You can enjoy this dessert in any coffee shop. Ready-made sauces and syrups are suitable for cooking, but caramel can also be prepared at home from ordinary sugar. Caramel drinks are hot and cold, sweet, spicy and even sweet-salty. We talk about the simplest and most delicious options that are easy to cook on your own.
What is the name of coffee with caramel
This dessert has no single name. Since there are many cooking options, it is customary to simply add the word “caramel” to the name of a drink or dessert, for example, caramel coffee with lime.
Caramel Coffee Recipes
The easiest way is to brew espresso or americano in any usual way and add ready-made syrup instead of sugar. As a topping, you can use cinnamon, or another favorite spice. Such a drink turns out to be tasty, but still too simplified. If you want to treat yourself or your friends to a real treat, take a little more time and prepare a real dessert.
Caramel coffee brewed in a Turk
You will need:
- freshly ground grains – 1-2 tsp;
- filtered water – 200 ml;
- granulated sugar (preferably cane) – 1-2 tsp.
Cooking technology:
- Pour the sugar into the cezve and dissolve it over the smallest fire. Stir constantly to keep it from burning.
- Remove the resulting syrup from the heat, add ground grains, cold water, return to a slow fire.
- Wait for the foam to appear and remove the mixture from the burner.
- Let the drink brew for a couple of minutes and pour into cups.
Cooking caramel in cezve requires increased attention. If the sugar burns, it will be difficult to wash the bottom of the Turk through a narrow neck. But even if the drink is successfully brewed, do not leave the thick at the bottom. Immediately pour cold water into the cezve and leave to soak. This is necessary to dissolve the remaining sugar. Otherwise, it may burn next time.
Caramel in coffee with milk
The taste of burnt sugar is effectively combined with the taste of milk and cream. To prepare this dessert option, take:
a portion of ready-made espresso (80 ml) or americano (150 ml);
salted or sweet caramel (depending on the type of drink, take 1 teaspoon or 1 tablespoon);
fat milk – 20 or 40 ml;
favorite spices.
How to cook?
- Add half a serving of milk and syrup to the drink and stir until smooth.
- Beat the other half of the milk and syrup until foamy.
- Add foam to a cup of drink.
- Decorate the “cap” with spices.
