The difference between the formulation of Spanish latte and the making of latte coffee the proportion and flavor characteristics of Spanish latte coffee

Nowadays, there are a variety of drinks on the menu in cafes. In order to cater to the tastes of more people, it is also common to add a variety of dairy products and flavor syrup to coffee. So have you ever heard of coffee with condensed milk?

Condensed milk is added to cover up the bitterness of the coffee

In Vietnam, the aroma of coffee is floating in the streets and alleys. Their coffee is mainly produced by robusta beans, which is usually roasted until it is black and shiny. The extracted coffee liquid is rich in oil and fat, and the flavor is generally hazelnut, grain and caramel. the bitter taste is obvious. Vietnamese prefer lactose sweet boiled milk to fresh milk from European countries, so they thought of using the sweetness of condensed milk to cover up the bitterness in the coffee, which is locally known as "ca phe sua da" and translated as Vietnamese Didi Coffee.

If we have a cup of Vietnamese Didi coffee at the same place, the store will first put some milky condensed milk into the cup, then put a drip filter on the cup, pour hot water, close the lid, and then wait for the dark coffee liquid to finish dripping naturally. The barista will also be considerate and give you a small spoon to stir well before drinking. The sweetness of condensed milk is perfectly balanced with the bitterness of Luodou black coffee to get a cup of coffee-flavored and lactose-sweet milk coffee.

In addition to Vietnam in Southeast Asia, Spain in Europe also has a drinking habit of "coffee + condensed milk", which they like to call "Caf é Bomb ó n". In fact, it is espresso with boiled milk, presented in a small mini cup. Qianjie has also engraved this drink, taking a glass the size of 90-120ml, the glass is to look better. Pour condensed milk according to the ratio of espresso to condensed milk at 1:1. For example, if the espresso liquid used in Qianjie is 40g, then the condensed milk is 40g. Then pour espresso on top of condensed milk. Because of the high density of condensed milk, it is difficult for espresso to blend with condensed milk without external force to form a very good-looking "black-and-white match". The entrance is like "tortoise Ling ointment with condensed milk", the taste is much thicker than pure espresso, and it is not bitter.

Of course, there are not only the above two ways to drink "boiled milk". In recent years, a coffee + milk + condensed milk "Spanish latte" has also become a popular item on the menu in cafes, such as coffee chain Arabica.

Is there any difference between a Spanish latte and a latte?

The Spanish latte is made up of espresso, fresh milk and boiled milk, in other words, adding boiled milk to the regular latte. With the addition of condensed milk, those who can not accept the bitter taste can also taste the strong aroma of coffee.

Now that you know the difference between a Spanish latte and an ordinary latte, it's very easy to make. Qianjie will first extract a cup of 40ml Espresso coffee liquid, add 10 grams of condensed milk on the substrate, stir well, then whisk the 200ml fresh milk to the appropriate temperature of 55-65 degrees Celsius, and finally blend into the coffee liquid, and the Spanish latte is finished. If you want to make an iced Spanish latte, Qianjie first add 75g solid ice cubes to the cup, pour in 200ml iced milk, then add 10g condensed milk to the extracted Espresso, sprinkle on the liquid surface, and stir well with a straw before tasting.

Because the espresso produced by Qianjie store is made of self-baked "sunflower sunflower blend", which is made of Ethiopian red cherry coffee beans (30%) and Honduran sherry barrel coffee beans (70%). The extracted Espresso espresso shows vanilla, cream, whisky and berry flavors, with milk like vanilla chocolate milk, while condensed milk highlights the sweetness of lactose and sucrose.
