Goodbye Summer and hello Fall! It's still a little warm out there so it's okay to have iced coffee. As a farewell to summer and as promised, I'm going to share how I prepare my favorite coffee drink; the iced macchiato. I try to always have a bottle of this coffee concentrate in my refrigerator so that I can have iced coffee any time that I want. For cafe au laits I use French Market or Café Du Monde coffee because those coffees have chicory, but for macchiatos I use Italian or espresso roast coffee. Feel free to experiment with your favorite coffee and see what you like the best.
Okay let me get right to it. You will need ice, coffee concentrate, cold milk, and caramel sauce. This is how you prepare it...
Put some ice in a cup
Pour some milk (about two thirds of the glass).
Slowly pour the coffee gently over the ice (about one third of the glass).
Isn't it a beautiful thing? I love how the coffee just swirls above the milk slowly staining it in caramel hues honoring its name, "macchiato", which means "marked" or "stained" in Italian. Now, all you have to do is drizzle some of your favorite caramel sauce on top.
Stir...
and enjoy
Easy isn't it? Please, I insist: Try this at home.
Well, I'm off to some new adventures. Drop a line with any comments or feedback. It's much appreciated. Enjoy the rest of the week!
:)
