Coffee
recipes come in many varieties. Some are cold while others are warm or contain alcohol.
It is impossible to list all coffee recipes that are made but a list of the 'best' are shown
along with some of the more popular types.
Greenland
Coffee
(Per Cup)
This is a real winter warmer and would go nicely with the Italian Almond
Biscuits or just on its on.
3 cl (ca. 1 oz or 1 shot) whisky
3 cl (ca. 1 oz or 1 shot) Kaluha (Kailua) or Tia Maria
5 cl (ca. 1-½ oz) espresso coffee
Whipped cream
1 cl (ca. ¾ oz) Grand Marnier or Cointreau
Large mug
Pour warmed whisky and Grand Marnier or Cointreau into a mug. Add hot
coffee and top with whipped cream. Alternatively, you can pour the
warmed whisky into a mug, add the hot coffee and top with whipped cream.
Pour the Grand Marnier or Cointreau into a small (really small) saucepan
(I use an Arabic Coffee maker), heat the liqueur until it is quite hot,
light it with a match and gently drizzle the liqueur over the whipped
cream. Be very careful when you do this so you don’t catch yourself or
anyone else on fire!
Café au
lait (2-4)
Mix 4 dl. of boiling milk and 4 dl. of warm coffee. Serve shortly after.
Italian
Coffee (2)
Pour 1 dl. skimmed milk into a bowl and whip into a cream
using a double boiler. Pour 3½ dl. strong warm coffee in
two cups and spread the warm cream on top. Add fine chocolate on top.
Lumumba (2)
Put 1 Tbsp. of vanilla
ice-cream in a glass. Mix ¼ rum (cognac), and 1 dl. of chocolate milk Pour over the
ice-cream.
Mix 3 Tbsp of vanilla ice-cream, milk, orange liqueur
and cognac. Pour into two glasses and serve shortly
after.
Cold Coffee
(4)
Mix 6 dl of coffee and brown sugar together and cool
down completely. Cut ½ liter of ice-cream into small
pieces and whip into a ‘soft-ice’. Add 1 Tbsp of
coffee liqueur. Pour into 4 glasses and pour the cold
coffee on top.
Tiger milk (4-6)
Mix 2 dl whipped cream, 2 dl cold chocolate liqueur or
coffee liqueur and gin. Serve very cold.
Coffee with vanilla
(4)
8 scoops good coffee
8 dl (4 Cups) boiling water
2-1/2 dl (1-1/4 Cup) low fat milk
1/2 vanilla stick
1 Tbsp brown cane sugar
Make the coffee in a French coffee press or filtered.
Place the milk in a saucepan. Scrape the vanilla stick and remove the center.
Place both in the milk. Heat the milk, just to the boiling point. Remove the vanilla and
whip the milk until a froth forms. Pour the
coffee into four cups, heap milk froth onto the coffee and sprinkle with brown sugar.
Orange Flavored Coffee
and Mocca Beans(4)
6 scoops good coffee
Grated rind of 3/4 orange
8 dl (4 Cups) boiling water
2 Tbsp brown cane sugar
1 dl (1/2 Cup) Whipped cream
Mocca beans (chocolate flavored)
Place coffee and orange rind in a French coffee press or a filter coffee maker. Pour
boiling water over the coffee and leave it for four minutes if using a French coffee
press. Pour coffee into four cup. Add a little of the brown cane sugar to the coffee
if people wish. Top the coffee with whipping cream and a couple of Mocca
beans.
Heat the milk. Mix the brown sugar and cocoa and add it to the milk. Let the milk
just come to a boil. Pour the milk into the coffee and top with a tablespoon
whipping cream.
1 oz (25 g butter)
2 Tbsp pure cocoa (unsweetened)
4 Cups (8 dl) skim milk
5 Tbsp sugar
Milk froth (whipped milk)
1 Cup skim milk
Melt the butter over medium-high heat in a heavy saucepan but do not
let the butter get brown. Add the pure cocoa and stir constantly
until you have a smooth paste. Add the skim milk
gradually, stirring vigorously. Bring the cocoa mixture to a
boil, again stirring vigorously. Reduce the heat if the mixture
begins to stick to the pan or burn. Remove the saucepan from the
heat and add the sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
Taste to see
if the cocoa is of the desired sweetness.
Milk froth:
Pour the 1 cup of skim milk into a heavy saucepan and bring the milk
to a boil while whipping vigorously (use a hand mixer, if you have
one). If this is too complicated for you, add some prepared
whipped milk the same as for cappuccino coffee or cafe au lait.
Pour the hot chocolate into four cups, top with the whipped milk and
sprinkle with freshly grated chocolate.
4 cups (8 dl / 32 oz / 1 liter) good, strong coffee
8 Tbsp rum (or less if desired)
4 Tbsp maple syrup
4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
Place the coffee in four tall glasses or large mugs. Add
the rum and maple syrup and stir to mix well. Place one
scoop of ice cream (or more if you wish) in each glass
and serve with a long spoon or straw.
Note: The coffee may be served hot or cold, but cold
makes it more of a dessert.
