Delicious And Amazing Coffee Recipes From Around The World

Coffee is one of the few ingredients that has widespread popularity worldwide. Beyond the standard cappuccino and Americano, there are many more creative ways to receive your daily dose of caffeine, thanks to their unique ingredients and preparation methods.

There is a wide variety of coffee out there to satisfy your taste, whether you want it black, white, strong, or sweet. Here are some coffee recipes to try from around the world.

France’s famous café au lait

The French often mix freshly brewed coffee with steamed milk in the morning. This variation on the classic cafe latte asks for strong coffee rather than espresso, specifically a French roast. 

To make this delicious cup, hold a measuring cup two feet above the cup and pour the coffee and milk in simultaneously. It’s perfect for taking with a few croissants.

Wiener Melange, Austria

The Wiener Melange, a specialty of Vienna cafes, is similar to a cappuccino but is prepared with a lighter roast of coffee. Traditionally, it’s made by mixing half a cup of brewed coffee with half a cup of cream and topping it with milk foam. Some recipes call for adding whipped cream and chocolate powder to the drink. 

Wiener Melange, whose name derives from the German meaning “Viennese combination,” is traditionally served with a glass of water between sips to wash away lingering flavors and avoid dehydration. The foam would go great on top of the coffee, but you could mix it to merge the flavors.

Sweden’s Kokkaffe 

Sweden, the country with the highest per capita consumption of coffee in the world, treats coffee as a way of life. A cup of coffee with a kanelbulle, Swedish cinnamon bun, or a piece of chocolate cake during the afternoon break is as essential as a cup of coffee in the morning. 

Coarsely ground coffee is thrown into a pot with water and brought to a boil. Some variants work just as well when boiled four or five times; you could do the same if desired. Although milk is not traditionally included, it can be added to soften the drink. Serve hot from a flask after straining.

Oliang, Thailand

Arabica beans, cardamom, sesame, maize, soybeans, and rice come together to create the enticing aroma of this classic brew. For an extra sweet kick, add condensed milk. 

You can get this smokey, sugary drink at practically every café or restaurant in Thailand. The name combines the Chinese characters for “O,” which means black, and “Liang,” which means cold. A classic Thai coffee mix, which can be found in many Asian countries (in India, try looking for Pantai Oliang Powder), condensed milk, sugar, and ice will do the trick.

Ireland’s Caife Gaelach

The classic alcoholic Irish coffee has been a relaxing weekend treat in the late afternoon for decades. Chef Joe Sheridan came up with the dish while working at a new restaurant at Europe’s busiest civilian airport, Foynes Port. 

The drink he made to cheer them up was so well received that it quickly became a global phenomenon and a staple at airports everywhere. 

You can make this drink at home using brown sugar, whipped cream, Irish whiskey, and strong black coffee. If you’re in the mood for decadence, replace the whiskey with Bailey’s.

Córtado, Spain

Cortado is a famous coffee drink in the Basque region of Spain characterized by a careful blending of espresso and steamed milk. Espresso’s harshness is softened by the milk without losing any of the coffee’s character in this preparation. 

Cortado is derived from the Spanish verb cortar, which means “to cut,” alluding to how the milk dissolves into the coffee. Equal parts of each are used, and this recipe is beloved by coffee connoisseurs for its ease and originality. Thus it can be found in cafés all over the globe.

Vietnam; Cà Phê Trng

Cà phê trng (egg coffee) is equally as popular in the South Asian nation of Vietnam as Vietnamese iced coffee in the United States. This recipe calls for mixing one egg yolk and sweetened condensed milk until light and fluffy. 

As milk was scarce in Vietnam in 1946, the urban legend is that a barista at Hanoi’s Metropole Hotel came up with the idea of using eggs and sugar in coffee. Creamy, rich, and sweet, this drink has now gone viral throughout the nation. You may use it to top up your espresso or iced coffee.

German Eiscafé

You may get this dessert-like coffee at many German sidewalk cafes. Besides coffee and ice cream, other common ingredients in eiskaffee include condensed milk, chocolate shavings, and whipped cream. 

This summertime drink, served in a tall glass, strikes the ideal balance between nostalgic and sophisticated flavors.

Brazil’s Mocha Cola

It’s hardly surprising that Brazil has a robust coffee-drinking culture because it produces a major percentage of the world’s coffee. The mocha cola, which blends espresso with chocolate milk and cola, is a favorite summertime drink in the area. 

Although that’s a bit out of the ordinary, it provides a welcome jolt on days when the sun is baking the ground. It’s common practice in Brazilian restaurants to offer this frozen with ice cream or whipped topping.

Hong Kong, Yuanyuang

Traditional Ceylon tea is blended with strong drip coffee, milk, and sugar to create Hong Kong’s most popular coffee, which is a homage to the city’s penchant for tea. Condensed milk is added to several recipes. 

Caffeine levels are modest, and the beverage may be consumed either hot or cold. Mix three parts black coffee with four parts Hong Kong-style milk tea for the perfect brew. The drink, initially sold by street sellers known as dia pai dongs, is now featured on menus nationwide.

Portugal’s Mazagran

This famous Portuguese coffee combines iced coffee with either lemon juice or lemon soda, making it one of the most refreshing beverages you can drink in the summer. Infused with espresso’s robust flavor and balanced by lemon’s acidity, this drink is often credited as the genesis of the iced coffee trend. 

Lemon juice was first added to coffee to mask the taste of inferior beans. However, the drink is widely popular these days, and many cafes serve it with premium ingredients. It’s best served iced, with white sugar and honey for flavor.If you want to read more about coffee and how to get the best check out Planetary Design.
