[Stay Home Food Talk] Home Cafe Recipe - Cube Latte & Affogato

 We have been staying at home for a long time due to COVID-19. For everyone's safety, we can hardly get out of our home. In this post, we will introduce 2 recipes that you can try and turn your home into a home cafe.

HOW TO MAKE CUBE LATTE

The first home recipe in this post is the Cube Latte that can be easily made. All you need is to prepare 100 ml of hot water, 2t of instant coffee powder and 150 ml of milk.

Firstly, dissolve instant coffee powder in 100 ml hot water. Instead of instant coffee, you can also use Dutch coffee or hand drip coffee.

Pour the coffee into the ice tray and put it in your fridge for 1 day. The stronger the coffee, the stronger the taste of the cube latte.

Take out the frozen coffee ice cubs from the ice tray.

Fill up the cup with the coffee ice cubes. Then, add milk. The cafe-style cube latte is completed and ready to be served!

Cube latte is an interesting latte that becomes more delicious as the ice cubes melt. Why don't you try making this cube latte that can be easily made at home too?

HOW TO MAKE AFFOGATO

The second recipe that we will introduce is one of the best coffee dessert, which is affogato! Prepare ingredients  such as - ice-cream, brownie cookies, almond, espresso 1 shot.

Finally, sprinkle espresso shots on top. Instead of espresso, you can also melt instant coffee powder into 25-30ml hot water.
