Glazed coffee: composition and secrets of cooking

Real coffee lovers will not be able to refuse an invigorating drink even in summer. And here they come to the aid of a cold glaze.This article will tell you about the composition of this coffee drink and the secrets of its preparation.

It has traditionally been assumed that coffee glazes were invented in France, but there is an earlier legend that such coffee was first prepared in Austria. This is a very interesting story about how the bartender turned on his wit. So, it was a hot summer day, and a young man ran into the cafe, who wanted to drink a miraculous drink before a business meeting. Naturally, the barista could not refuse such pleasure to his regular customer and set to work. But here it was discovered that the milk was over. But the young cafe worker was not taken aback and decided to add ice cream instead of milk. The visitor just fell in love with this coffee and began to order only it, which is why ice cream is traditionally added to the glass.

Very soon, coffee combined with ice cream spread throughout Europe. And the French have already invented a name for it - the word “glace” from French means “cold” or “icy”. And very soon the drink became popular not only in Europe, but also in North America and East Asia.

Now it is impossible to imagine any coffee house without an invigorating glass of coffee. Today, there is an own recipe for making an invigorating drink not only in every country, but also in any cafe.

Despite the popularity and prevalence of this drink, there are people who may confuse the glass with Irish coffee or latte. As mentioned above, the base of the glaze is coffee, and its main additive is ice cream, ideally in the form of two balls.

The composition of the traditional coffee of Ireland includes not only strong whiskey, bourbon or scotch, but also whipped cream. Depending on the serving of the coffee drink, you can easily confuse the glass with the Irish strong coffee, but remember that real Irish coffee will always be hot, regardless of the time of day or year.

As for the latte, for its preparation they use milk and doppio, that is, double espresso. The main rule of the latte and the main difference from the glass is hammered warm milk. Thus, an Italian latte is a warm coffee drink, but by no means ice. Therefore, if you want to cool a little, then give your choice of ice-coffee glass.

The main ingredients that make up the coffee glass are espresso and hot water, but they also put vanilla ice cream in it. But sometimes a barista can start experimenting, and thus a banana or chocolate glaze and sometimes a banana-chocolate glaze may appear on the menu.

The list of possible additions to invigorating coffee is very wide and can satisfy every taste. For example, a pinch of cinnamon, a drop of condensed milk or a teaspoon of whipped cream can be added to a glass of coffee drink. Perfectly combined with iced and liqueur. If you want a non-alcoholic drink, then amaretto or hazelnut is perfect for this purpose, making the taste more saturated and almond. If you, on the contrary, prefer strong coffee with alcohol, then you can use whiskey or brandy.

When it comes to caloric content of a product such as coffee with ice cream, it is never certain to estimate how many calories you will get as a result, because a lot depends on the serving size, as well as on the amount of ice cream and its calorie content. After all, each manufacturer makes ice cream in its own way and method. Therefore, the calorie content of coffee glace can be calculated only offhand, it is extremely difficult to accurately determine this value.

So, for 450 ml of glass there is about 120-150 kcal, in contrast to American, which contains 5 kcal in 200 ml of drink. Such a high calorie adds natural coffee ice cream.And per 100 grams of cooling glace there are approximately 4 grams of proteins and fats and almost 20 grams of carbohydrates.

The calorie content of ice cream depends on its type. So, for example, in 100 grams of ice cream 230 kcal, in cream - 195 kcal, and in dairy - 130 kcal. But remember that in the ice-coffee glass, take 2 balls, which is equivalent to a weight of 100 grams.

But after all, not only ice cream, liquid and coffee brings energy to the body, but also various additives.

The most common supplement is sugar. One teaspoon of sugar contains 25 kcal, respectively, in two spoons of sugar 48 kcal, and in three - 72 kcal. So if you are on a dietary basis, you should refrain from sugar.

The most high-calorie coffee supplement is cream. Their energy value directly depends on their fat content and appearance. For example, in one teaspoon of powdered cream is 45 kcal, and in liquid 10% cream - only 12 kcal. In the case of using natural homemade cream, the caloric content of the product can be raised by 85 kcal.

A sweet tooth should remember that in a teaspoon of condensed milk is 35 kcal, and in the dining room - 75 kcal. If you use such milk, which does not contain sugar, the caloric content is reduced by almost 2 times.

When adding milk chocolate or its syrup, add another 15 kcal to the existing caloric content using a teaspoon and 40 kcal, if a tablespoon.

Such an oriental spice, like cinnamon, adds coffee not only to a pleasant taste, but also an extra 20 calories per teaspoon.

Having dealt with the ingredients and their calorie content, a natural question arises, how to prepare an invigorating glass at home.

To make coffee with ice cream at home, take 2 teaspoons of ground coffee (preferably Arabica, but you can also Robusta), 300 ml of filtered water without gas and 100 grams of ice cream to your taste. Sugar can be added as desired.

First you need to properly prepare a strong espresso. Of course, you can simply take 2 teaspoons of instant coffee and pour boiling water over it, but such a coffee drink will not be able to convey all the taste qualities of a real glass.

So, we take 2.5 teaspoons of roasted ground coffee (if you wish, you can grind it yourself), pour coffee in a Turk or a potspot, pour water and put it on the stove. While brewing coffee, you can gently stir the liquid with a spoon. Preparing such a coffee is before the boiling process begins, that is, before the first bubbles appear.

Next, filter the brewed coffee through a sieve so that there is no coffee grounds left. If you drink coffee with sugar, then it's time to add it. Next, take 2 balls of your favorite ice cream and put them in a container for coffee. Then, very carefully and slowly, slowly pour in a freshly brewed drink to the ice cream.

Classic glass ready. But for the full pleasure left to make the decoration of the drink.

As already mentioned, there are a huge variety of coffee recipes. It depends on the wishes of the visitors of the coffee house, the talent of the barista or your fantasy at home in the kitchen. The classic method of cooking glass is already discussed above. Let's understand now in its various variations and recipes of preparation with addition of any ingredients and toppings.

Real coffee lovers should definitely enjoy the taste of egg glace. To do this, take natural ground coffee (10-20 grams, depending on the desired strength of the drink), 150 ml of filtered water without gas. Make coffee and strain it.If you do not want to make coffee for any reason and you have hot Americano on hand, then it is perfect for our purpose.

While the coffee is cooling, take 2 fresh chicken eggs and separate the yolks from the whites. Mix the yolks with sugar (1.5 tablespoons) or powdered sugar (3 tablespoons). Beat the yolk mixture with a mixer or blender until frothy. Then gently mix the whipped yolks with coffee and set the mug on a slow fire, ideally in a steam bath.

The coffee-egg mixture must be regularly stirred, and after 15-20 minutes removed from heat. Leave the coffee drink alone for another 10-15 minutes to cool it a little. Then take a few balls of ice cream and add it to the coffee.

Egg coffee is ready. For decoration, you can use chopped nuts (walnuts or almonds) and pour chocolate topping.

This recipe is very simple, but pleasant taste and playful mood from it will be provided.

Take 2 teaspoons of 100% arabica and 100 ml of water, make strong coffee. Separate the coffee grounds from the liquid and pour into a beautiful whiskey glass. Depending on the wishes, add from 20 to 50 grams of whiskey or scotch. If you do not like so strong alcohol, you can change it for a liqueur. Ideally, the alcohol part should be 20% of the total coffee beverage.

Add a few ice cubes as desired. Decorate your coffee with ice cream.

Banana glace will not leave anyone indifferent, especially since its supply and appearance are different from the classic drink. We can say that such a banana drink is a coffee smoothie.

To make a banana glass, take a teaspoon of coffee, in this case you can make a weak coffee, so a mix of robusta and arabica in a 50/50% ratio will do. Make coffee, strain it. Sugar is not necessary to add, because the banana will give a sweet taste. Cut the banana into small slices and add them to the coffee. Put some ice cream.

Next, you need using a blender to obtain a homogeneous banana-coffee mixture. Chocolate syrup fits perfectly with a banana, so choosing it will surely not make you worse.

To make a delicate cream glace, you will need 100 ml of espresso, 3 tablespoons of cream with 35% fat, 2 ice cubes, 50 grams of ice cream, topping at will.

To start, make a strong coffee. Give it time to cool to room temperature (20 degrees Celsius). While the coffee is cooling, take a blender and cream, whisk this milk product to a frothy state.

Then take a beautiful transparent glass and place 2 ice cubes on the bottom. Put ice cream on ice and gently pour in the cooled coffee. Without stirring, decorate your ice cream with whipped cream. To saturate the taste you can use raspberry or caramel topping, to decorate the drink - chopped nuts. Ice-coffee glace ready.

Milk Glaze is a variant of a more dietary creamy drink. Only in this case, instead of cream, we need a glass of fresh pasteurized cow milk.

Brew strong coffee and cool it to room temperature. After it is cooled, add milk to the coffee container. You can warm it a little, but do not bring to a boil. We decorate the coffee and milk drink with ice cream, and the milk glass is ready. Such a coffee drink will not only invigorate, but also be able to cool on a hot day.

How to make a coffee glaze is a whole science. After all, it is necessary to choose the right glasses or cups, to know where to put the spoon and whether there is a need for a saucer.

The glacier, thanks to its ice cream, can be classified as a dessert drink. It is accepted that such drinks are served in a high transparent glass with a straw. Such a glass is called harikein. In the absence of such a container, you can use to serve a glass of Irish glass, that is, a glass that is designed for Irish coffee.In the absence of a glass for glasse or an irish glass, it is allowed to serve in any tall glass glass, even a latte mug is quite suitable.

Then the glass container is carefully placed on a small saucer with a lace napkin, and a dessert spoon is placed on the right side.

As for the alcohol icing, this coffee drink is usually served in small glasses for shot-drinks (the volume of such containers ranges from 40 to 60 ml) with a short tube.

Giving sugar to coffee is also a laborious process. For example, granulated sugar is served in a separate sugar bowl, and for this you need a separate teaspoon. Sugar refined made in a separate container with tweezers for him. Also, the glass can be served with sugar sticks, that is, in separate portions, in which case the stick is placed on the edge of the saucer near the wine glass.

Cream can also be served in separate portions, but still the milkman looks more aesthetic.

Dessert that is served to coffee is a very important detail, but many, unfortunately, give it little attention, and in vain. After all, properly selected dessert can enhance the taste of coffee.

The most common dessert that is served to the glass is chocolate. To emphasize the strength and richness of the taste of a coffee drink, it is better to choose dark chocolate with nuts. Combining chocolate and chocolate, as a result, you can get a sweet aftertaste invigorating drink.

Although chocolate is the most common dessert, but in eastern countries it is common to serve candied fruit. Candied fruits will help to saturate your coffee with floral and fruity notes.

Curd cheese desserts, such as cheesecake or mascarpone, are the ideal combination for a glacier. These light desserts will help make your coffee softer and softer.

Very often served with a glass of marshmallow marshmallow or meringue. These two sweets create the same effect as curd desserts.

But the main mistake of many people is the fact that coffee is often served with muffins or pies with a rich taste or flavor. Remember, the taste of coffee should not interrupt anything, additives and desserts should only enhance or emphasize it.

Now you know the secrets of making coffee glace, but the main thing is to remember that coffee does not always have a positive effect on the body. In addition to the invigorating effect, it can also bring harm, so do not abuse it.
