METHOD TO PREPARE
Ingredients : URBAN BEANS COFFEE : VIVID HAZELNUT INSTANT COFFEE, Milk, Water, 2/3 tablespoons unsweetened Cocoa Powder, Sugar to taste, Chocolate Liqueur (optional)
PREPARATION
Mix One Tablespoon per person of VIVID Hazelnut Instant Coffee with warm water till it mixes well and forms a slightly lighter shade of brown. You will see the volume increase as air is trapped in the mixture. Add fine sugar to this mixture and beat it again with a whisk. Pour this mixture into the cups at about 1/4 of the cup volume and set aside. Add a dash of Chocolate Liqueur in the cup if you want it to be an adults drink.
In a medium sized pan, whisk milk, cocoa powder (optional) together and heat on medium-low flame until very hot. Once very hot, remove from heat. Whisk rapidly in a deep jar or vessel to create foam. Pour the milk mixture evenly into each mug, holding foam back with a spoon. Spoon the beautiful foam on top of each cup at the end. Top with hopped hazelnuts, if desired.
Sip Slowly and enjoy the flavor.
