Cooking features
Natural vanilla is often used in cooking for baking desserts such as pies. But in combination with ground coffee, it maximizes its flavor potential. To brew delicious espresso with the addition of this component, you need to follow the recipe exactly.
It is recommended to follow these simple rules:
- Vanilla has a rich aroma, so be prepared for the fact that the container you put it in will forever retain a sweetish aroma. Therefore, it is better to highlight a separate Turk.
- A pleasant aroma is the main advantage of this drink. In order not to spoil the impression of the ceremony, it is not recommended to use a soluble product. Firstly, its smell is not rich enough, and secondly, it is difficult to check its quality.
- The beans should be ground immediately before making coffee. You should not stock up.
- Spiced espresso should be drunk hot, as the spice will not reveal its aromatic potential in cold liquid.
There are many recipes for making such a cocktail. Choose the best one for yourself.
French coffee: origin and recipes
France is one of the hotbeds of coffee distribution throughout Europe. Since the 17th century, many traditions associated with this drink have taken root here, and the number of coffee houses in Paris alone is difficult to count. Go to the article - today we talk about the origins of coffee in French (long before the first coffee tree took root here) and provide interesting recipes.
According to some reports, in France coffee is consumed more than wine. Did not know? This means that now you will associate France not only with alcohol. Coffee has become so deeply entrenched in the French that it has even made its way into national sayings. For example, they have this one: “Boiling kills coffee.” An obvious fact, of course, but a saying is a saying. Plus, you may have heard about French roasting of beans - so, a more well-known version of the name is Viennese roasting (chocolate-colored beans with a moderate shine).

French coffee recipes
French coffee, the recipe for which will be described, is very easy to prepare. As it happens, sometimes the most delicious recipes are the simplest.
Classic recipe
The traditional recipe involves the use of Turka. Ingredients:
- mineral water;
- vanilla beans;
- granulated sugar (to taste);

You need to cook the drink over low heat, otherwise it will have a burnt taste. When the liquid begins to boil, add spiced grains to the container. You should not add them in advance, as in this case the drink will not have a rich sweetish aroma.
As soon as fluffy foam rises to the top of the container, turn off the heat. The cream should settle in less than 1 minute. Then resume simmering. Repeat the action twice.
Sugar is added to coffee to taste. Pour the espresso into thick-walled cups. The drink should be drunk hot.

Types of vanilla for coffee
