Fall is cafe season, but during a pandemic, you may not be inclined to sip and sit for long – if at all. Here are 5 amazing recipes that bring the cafe home.
French Cafe au Lait Recipe
In France, equal parts strong coffee and steamed milk combine to create Café au Lait. In Spain, the same beverage is called Cafe con Leche. Whatever you call your coffee with milk, it is always equal parts warm and cozy. This recipe makes a single serving, so adjust proportions appropriately. To make your treat even more irresistible, serve it with a fresh and flaky croissant, a piece of dark chocolate, or this extraordinary café au lait creme brulee.
Dalgona Coffee (whipped coffee)
Dalgona Whipped Coffee is another coffee treat that goes by many names. In Korea, it's Dalgona. In Greece, it's a Frappe. In South America, you'd sip a Batido. This fluffy and delicious beverage is easy to make with only 3 ingredients: instant coffee (granulated or powder), milk and sugar. Enjoy it hot or cold.
Pumpkin Chocolate Chip Blender Muffins (gluten-free)
The drinks are only half the joy of cafe culture. You'll need a fresh-baked treat to fuel your warm and cozy desires. These easy pumpkin chocolate chip blender muffins are perfect for this time of year.
Matcha Green Tea Latte (Hot or Iced)
If tea is more your cup of tea, wake up to a rejuvenating Matcha Green Tea Latte.
Whether you prefer it hot or cold, this fast and easy recipe is the perfect balance of fragrant green tea, creamy milk and a touch of sweetness.
Hot and Spicy Himalayan Tea (Chai Tea)
This velvety chai tea is made with milk (or milk alternative), black tea, cardamom, cinnamon and cloves. The aroma alone is worth the effort. Your kitchen will smell like a cozy cafe and the warm, spiciness of this exceptional treat will be felt inside and out. It is pure cozy in a cup.
