    Love your channel ❣ With all the coffee's i've had around the world, Fresh Brewed and Instant... Instant with brown sugar and evaporated milk is my favorite. All these ingredients give a nice warm caramel essence that still taste like coffee. Years ago "Brava" was an incredible coffee, but Nescafé stopped making it. 😥

    When I inherited my grandmother's china cups I couldn't believe how tiny they were compared to my normal 14oz mug. But I loved them and wanted to use them so I set aside my beloved ember and was shocked when suddenly my usual instant coffee tasted so different when I could only fit 6oz of water in! I wonder when cup sizes began getting so much larger?

    Try coffee with a pinch of ground cardamom. Surprisingly pleasant. If you like cinnamon, try cardamom. Great with or without milk.
    If you add a pinch dry ground ginger to black coffee will enhance the floral and green flavors of coffee, reminding you that coffee beans are plant seed. Add a pinch of lemon and ice. Refreshing!

    If I added any of these additives to coffee it would be because I don't like coffee. I like black coffee with no additives... just COFFEE. So I think I'll try the cold water first method. Sounds like it might work to keep the coffee from tasting burnt.

      As someone who’s done this to make an iced Greek frappe?
      Unless you care about a froth with minuscule bubbles that can’t be seen by the naked eye? It’s really not that much of a big deal.
      This goes both for milk or instant coffee frothing.
      None of the gadgets are really needed unless one wants to invest in using them daily. That’s one thing those who are sponsored by those companies don’t really want people to know.
      There’s also a tendency in Western coffee-making towards aesthetics where it has to be pretty and have an ornate flair to it. While I find it nice looking? I find it personally to not be worth that much effort besides peacocking. I honestly doubt many of these people make these sorts of drinks on a daily basis.
      Not that this UA-camr is. I unsubscribed from Adam Ragusea recently for doing just that while not being transparent that the coffee gadget ad he made was an ad.

      @@SpecialInterestShow Admittedly? I do like the challenge of making these drinks much like I like experimenting with cooking techniques and ingredients since it’s playing with chemistry from time to time.
      I did figure out how to do the oleato perfectly. Basically heat up 6 fl oz. of milk with olive oil and maybe sweetener. To make it easier, use a small mason jar, then after heating it for 30-45 seconds, put the jar lid on and shake it for like a minute or so until it’s incorporated. Then pour over iced coffee and stir.
      Honestly? Issues drinking it before driving anywhere aside? It’s not something that really makes sense since the American diet has a ton of fat in it. Not to mention how involved it is to get it right that it makes sense why Starbucks’ version would have a terrible execution. There’s not enough time to emulsify it.
      And honestly? Not really worth it like plenty of trendy drinks.
