The difference between cappuccino and latte How to make ice cappuccino The ratio of cappuccino coffee to milk

90% of the products on the blackboard of the front street menu can be made into ice drinks, except for one: cappuccino! But unfortunately, there are many friends who like ice cappuccino, and then Qianjie has to explain to the guests every time. Not only on the front street, most boutique coffee shops do not have iced cappuccinos.

As a result, many friends are puzzled that even large chain stores have cappuccinos selling ice, but why are there no boutique coffee shops? Qianjie believes that there are two main points, one is the difference in taste, and the other is that it is more troublesome to make.

What is a cappuccino? Cappuccino is a kind of milk coffee born in Italy, because the color of the coffee mixed with milk looks like the uniform of the monks of St. Francis, so this coffee is named after the name "Cappuccino" (cappuccino).

Cappuccino is characterized by its dense taste and strong coffee flavor. Because the traditional cappuccino is made with espresso, hot milk and hot foam. Although there is the addition of milk, but because the amount is not much, so the taste of coffee is not balanced by milk, coffee taste is still prominent. Because the layer of milk foam on the surface of the coffee is very thick, the cappuccino tastes very dense and comfortable. Although we have improved the production ratio of cappuccino today, it is still the densest and heaviest coffee of all Italian milk coffee. To sum up, we can know that the original cappuccino was only hot. However, with the expansion of a chain brand, in order to better meet the different needs of guests, they reduced part of the milk on the basis of an iced latte, then used the milk to get rid of the foam, and finally covered the iced milk over the coffee. an iced cappuccino is done.

But this approach, as Qianjie said, has two disadvantages: one is taste and taste. Although the foam sent by iced milk is equally dense, its molding time is very short, and if it is not drunk quickly after production, the dense taste will soon disappear. Secondly, because the milk is sent directly, there is no coffee oil on the milk foam. In the absence of stirring, the taste of the foam is very light. Not all consumers can accept such foam. The second reason is that the operation is tedious, which not only takes more time to operate, but also increases the number of tools to be cleaned. As a result, most businesses will not launch ice cappuccinos.

But cappuccino has all the characteristics of cappuccino, so when we want to experience another flavor on a whim, we might as well make a cup of ice cappuccino to feel it.

So how do you make an iced cappuccino? As mentioned earlier, the steps of an iced cappuccino are not much different from those of an iced latte. The only difference is that cappuccino has one more step in foam production, which is actually very simple! That is, the refrigerated milk is constantly injected into the air like hot bubbles, and then bubbles are formed, and then these bubbles are cut and smoothed. The use of pressure kettle, electric hair clipper can achieve this effect.

However, it should be noted that the defoaming speed of ice foam will change according to the type of milk, for example, fresh milk defoaming speed is faster. So in order to ensure that the finished cappuccino is the most drinkable taste, we need to put the foam to the last step. Therefore, the substrate is made first. Prepare a cup with 300~350ml capacity, then pour ice, milk, and espresso in turn (the final product will be very good-looking). In front street, the ratio used here is 1:3:2, espresso 40ml, milk 120ml, ice 80ml.

And then get rid of the milk foam!

Finally, gently cover the surface of the coffee with milk foam until the cup is full, and an iced cappuccino is finished!

According to our preferences, we can also sprinkle any powder on the surface to enhance the flavor of weak milk bubbles, such as chocolate powder or cinnamon powder, so that the whole cup of coffee can have a more hierarchical feel. All in all, there are many ways to play. If you don't mind the trouble, you can try it.
