COFFEE AND TEA

20/12/2011 from Natasha M

I thought we could talk about different coffee drink types because this is an endless topic and the list goes for ever...

Affogato
An affogato (Italian for "drowned") is a coffee-based beverage or dessert. "Affogato style", which refers to the act of topping a drink or dessert with espresso, may also incorporate caramel sauce or chocolate sauce. It usually takes the form of a scoop of vanilla gelato or ice cream topped with a shot of hot espresso. Some variations also include a shot of Amaretto or other liqueur.

Ingredients

• premium vanilla-bean icecream
• espresso coffee shot
• (optional) a shot of your favourite liqueur, such as grappa, Sambuca or Frangelico

Method
Place a couple of scoops of ice-cream in a latte glass or similar, prepare a shot of hot coffee (with an espresso machine, a stovetop coffee pot or very strong plunger coffee) and pour coffee over ice-cream. Optional extra is a shot of your favourite liqueur, such as grappa, Sambuca or Frangelico. Eat with a tea spoon.
