Cafe Americano is basically American drip coffee done in an Italian style. Cafe Americano is created with equal amounts of espresso and water that is boiling. This provides the drinker with a brew that is stronger than your average coffee.
Cafe Americano is often the ideal option for people who enjoy a strong jolt of caffeine but who do not really like the taste of espresso.
For a large number of people, especially those living in America, the strong, almost bitter taste of espresso is an acquired taste. This taste is one that many people just never seem to get the hang of.
Fortunately, you do not have to visit a specialty coffee shop to get a cup of Cafe Americano, you can create this beverage easily at home. Read More!!!
Coffee I think has to be one of the most universal bonding moments we have to share quiet and peaceful times. I had the stressful moment of loosing my internet for the weekend and suddenly I had free time and my ultimate high light was sitting out on my deck with a cup of coffee with friends sharing the beautiful wildlife I have in my yard. So soothing, to sip on a cup of coffee and just ponder the beauty in the world. I have found a delightful video to share too, though I only have deer in my yard, I think this is too awesome and proves once again, a sprinkler is all it takes for the young to have fun!
Imagine making mouth-watering Frappuccino and latte at home that blows Starbucks away, saving you money and cutting down on the calories. We’re going to give you some awesome recipes that show you how!
What is a Frappuccino?
It’s actually a term trademarked by Starbucks, and it’s simply a blend of ice, coffee, water, milk and usually some kind of syrup. All these ingredients are blended up into an icy slush that is similar to a thin milkshake. One of the most popular types is a mocha Frappuccino, which uses chocolate syrup.
What is Latte?
“Latte” is actually an English play on the Italian word for “milk” and it’s a shortened version of the European “cafe e latte,” which means “coffee and milk” in Italian. It’s similar to a cappuccino but it’s simply made with more milk–a latte is 1/3 espresso and 2/3 steamed milk and it’s topped with about 1/4 of an inch of foam from frothed milk. The latte has twice as much steamed milk as a cappuccino but less foam.
You can also make tea latte, too. One of the most popular is a chai tea latte.
