Recipes

You can enjoy your espresso just as you like it : when you want to relax, or to round off a good meal.

Here are a few recipes for your espresso machine.

. Original espresso

Take one small measure of good quality, well roasted espresso coffee and filter it directly into the preheated cup.

• Add sugar if you wish, and treat yourself.

Original espresso is drunk without milk, but lots of sugar.

. Espresso corretto

• Prepare a cup of espresso in the usual way.

Then slightly « correct » the taste by adding 1/4 or 1/2 a glass of cognac or liqueur.

Anisette, grape brandy, Sambuco, kirsch and Cointreau are also suitable.

And there are many more possibilities for « ennobling » your espresso. Let your imagina- tion run wild.

. Cappuccino

Use large cups which you have preheated.

Fill them with coffee up to the equivalent of an espresso cup, and top up with milk which you have frothed using the cappuccino accessory ; finally, sprinkle powdered chocolate on top.

To froth the milk: put 200 ml of skimmed or semi-skimmed milk into a jug, and make it foamy by plunging the steam nozzle into the jug.

. Iced coffee Italian style

4 balls of vanilla ice cream, 2 cold sugared cups of espresso, 1/8 litre of milk, fresh cream, grated chocolate.

Mix the cold espresso with milk. Distribute the ice cream balls between the glasses, pour coffee over and decorate with fresh cream and grated chocolate.

. Friesian style coffee

2 small glasses of cognac,

2 teaspoons of brown sugar,

2 cups espresso, fresh cream.
