Coffee is one of the most loved beverages in the world and there's no denying that! In India, the love for barista-style coffee is gaining momentum. For coffee lovers who have round-the-clock cravings and want to enjoy some exciting beverages at home, experts at Lavazza India share a few recipes on the occasion of International Coffee Day marked on October 1.
Rose Cardamom Coldbrew
For a sultry iced coffee break, mix together rosewater and a cardamom-infused creamer to add the right amount of saucy to your iced coffee.
Ingredients:
* 1 cup Coldbrew
* 1 teaspoon Simple Syrup
* 1 cup half and half
* 1 tablespoon rosewater
* 1 teaspoon cardamom
Directions:
* Mix together half and half and cardamom.
* Add the rosewater and a dash of the creamer to a glass filled with ice and cold brew.
Half and half: It's that simple. Half whole milk, half heavy cream... The texture is thicker and more luscious than milk, but less decadent and rich than cream
