Cafe De Almond Recipe

Brew Coffee

Brew 1 cup of strong coffee using your preferred method (drip, pour-over, or French press). If you want a bolder drink, pull 1 shot of hot espresso in addition to or instead of part of the brewed coffee.

Preheat the serving glass or mug by rinsing it with hot water, then discard the water.

Pour 45 ml (about 1.5 fl oz) of imported amaretto into the warmed mug.

Add 15 ml brown sugar syrup to the mug and gently stir to combine with the amaretto.

Pour the hot brewed coffee (and espresso shot if using) into the mug over the liqueur and syrup, stirring gently to dissolve and blend flavors.

Froth Milk

Steam or heat 120 ml whole milk to about 60-65°C (140-150°F). Froth the milk using a milk frother, steam wand, or by shaking vigorously in a sealed jar until you have a silky microfoam.

Float the frothed milk gently on top of the coffee and liqueur mixture to create a layered appearance.

Whipped Cream (optional)

Lightly whip 30 ml heavy cream until soft peaks form (about 10–20 seconds with a hand whisk or mixer). Spoon a dollop of whipped cream on top of the frothed milk if desired.

Sprinkle 1 tsp toasted sliced almonds over the foam or whipped cream.

Add an optional pinch of cocoa powder for extra aroma and visual contrast.

Serve immediately while hot. Provide a small spoon for stirring as the guest prefers.
