Coffee Blends
Coffee blends are plentiful and rather than just using one bean that produces just one flavor, combinations of beans are used to produce fantastic and flavorful blends that can really be a delicious treat.
In Indonesia, Sumatran and Papua New Guinean beans are combined to produce a very rich and distinctive brew. Columbian beans are also combined with Sumatran beans and this combination creates a slightly smoky taste.
Flavors for Coffee
Introducing flavors to coffee can really give that java a kick.
1. To sweeten a bitter or acidic brew use almond, vanilla or cherry flavoring.
2. For seasonal flavors, try gingerbread, or cinnamon or even pumpkin flavoring, which is, ideal around thanksgiving and Christmas.
3. Creating a mocha flavor in coffee is easy by melting chocolate. This is a hugely popular combination and can be served both hot and cold.
4. The Yemeni roast, combined with dark chocolate, makes a really exotic blend, while a lighter effect can be achieved with an American roast and a little milk chocolate.
5. Combining coffee with cocoa beans before you make the drink is another popular method for those coffee lovers with a sweet tooth.
Alcohol Flavored Coffee
Using liqueurs and other alcoholic beverages in coffee really adds a kick to that cup of brew and is a favorite in many types of drinks such as Irish coffee.
There are a wide variety of spirits and liqueurs to be used either as an addition or an accompaniment to your drink.
1. A good whiskey can be combined with black coffee and brown sugar, and topped with cream to produce the perfect Irish coffee.
2. Creamy liqueurs such as Baileys and Amarillo can be added to sweeten your drink.
3. The Italian grappa is a popular accompaniment to espresso, and can be drunk along with the coffee or added to the cup of coffee itself.
4. Rum, brandy and amaretto can each be added to various coffee blends to give a heady effect.
Russian Ice Coffee
Or you can go Russian style, where ice coffee is made with a twist. Start with a rich and dark brew. Then chill it in the refrigerator until it is ice cold. Serve in tall glasses with a scoop of French vanilla, chocolate or whatever flavor of ice cream you prefer, (but vanilla or chocolate works best) now that’s a great cup of coffee!
Other Variations and Flavors
Some of the more adventurous types of coffees available include frozen cappuccinos, frappuccino blends, which are coffee that is blended with ice
and made into a cold delight. Another great way to enjoy coffee on a hot summer day is just to pour it over some ice. Really delicious.
