Can you name every type of plant or flower? What about every type of tree? Of course not ??" there is a ridiculous number of species and within those species hundreds of different types, each having their own name. It is impossible to remember the names of them all.
This has almost become the case with types of coffee. There are so many wonderful varieties out there to try. But who can remember them all? We may not remember the names but we will not quickly forget the taste. Let's consider some uniquely names creations.
There's the elegant and simple Frappe, but with a silent 'e'. Widely consumed in Europe and Latin America, it's a cold espresso made with two teaspoons of sugar and milk with crushed ice cubes. For a nice variation, add a quarter cup each of brandy and crme de cacao. Since it's served with a straw, I just wish those drinking it were silent, too.
Another that gets it name from a its killer taste ??" the Cappuccino Borgia. Not just an ordinary espresso, this drink includes the sweetness of 1 cup of chocolate ice cream, the tang of 6 tbsp of orange juice cup of milk and cup of orange (peeled). It has a taste to die for.
Re-enter the 21st century and jet to the Caribbean for a Calypso Cooler. A cup of chilled, extra strength coffee gets subjected to a couple of ripe bananas and two cups of coffee ice cream. Add four tablespoons of rum and lose your luggage.
While we're adding alcohol to our coffee, let's not forget the mysterious Latin: Caffee Zabaglone. A quarter cup of dry Marsala with a quarter cup of sugar starts the feast. Add a pinch of salt and four egg yolks, then wisk and cook until thick. Add a cup of Italian roast at room temperature and you've got a drink, breakfast and a hangover cure all in one.
Back to the silent letters, lets try a Mardi Gras (silent s). A good American coffee blend to which you add eggnog and bourbon and cup of heavy cream. That will have you dancing in the street.
Cardamom Kaffee is a Scandinavian drink. It is a dark strong drink with a flavor borrowed from Turkey but perfected in this excellent blend. This Scandinavian recipe is a must try.
In your microwave heat the mixture of 1/8 cup of cognac 2 tsp of curacao and 2 tsp of sugar along with a cardamon pod which you have opened to remove the seeds. Heat for only 10 seconds and the put a match to it. Add your coffee and prepare yourself for something different!
Hats off to the creators of these wonderful coffee blends. Their inventions may not be saving the world but they sure are making it a more enjoyable place. There has been some amazing creativity shown with coffee. Our taste buds are forever grateful. - 16083
