History of Coffee Twisters
The “Coffee Twisters” cold drink has a rich history and diverse origins. Cold brew coffee itself dates back to the 1600s, with early methods developed in Japan, where it was known as “Kyoto” coffee. The Japanese technique involved slowly dripping cold water through coffee grounds, resulting in a smooth, refreshing, and flavorful concentrate. This method was possibly introduced to Japan by Dutch traders (Trade) (Eldorado Coffee). Cold brew coffee saw various adaptations over time, such as the 1840s Mazagran in Algeria, which combined sweetened coffee syrup with cold water to counteract the desert heat (Green Farm Coffee Company). In modern times, cold brew has become widely popular, with innovations making it a trendy and accessible option globally (Eldorado Coffee).
How to Make a Coffee Twister
A virgin mojito is a refreshing cold drink and a non-alcoholic beverage. The Virgin Mojito is perfect for hot days or anytime you want a tasty cold drink without alcohol. Here’s how you can make it with simple ingredients.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup of milk (any type you prefer)
- 2 scoops of vanilla ice cream or gelato
- Crushed ice
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate syrup or caramel syrup (optional)
Brew Your Coffee:
First, start by brewing a strong cup of espresso coffee. Use about 18-20 grams of coffee grounds for a double shot of espresso. If you want to drink lighter coffee, you can use one shot of espresso. Normally, a two-shot espresso is perfect for a Coffee Twister. You can use your coffee maker, French press, or any other method for brewing espresso. Once brewed, let the coffee cool to room temperature. You can speed up the cooling process by placing it in the refrigerator for a few minutes.
Prepare the Milk:
While your coffee is cooling, take 1/2 cup of milk. You can use room-temperature milk or cold milk. Since Coffee Twister is a cold drink, cold milk is perfect.
Mix Coffee and Milk:
In a blender, combine the cooled coffee, cold milk, and 2 tablespoons of sugar (optional). If you don’t like sugar, there’s no need to use it. Then, add 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract for extra flavor or two scoops of vanilla ice cream or gelato.
Add Crushed Ice:
Fill the blender jug with crushed ice. Blend the mixture until smooth and frothy. The crushed ice will help keep your drink cold and refreshing.
Use Whipped Cream on Top (Optional):
For a special touch or perfect flavor, you can add a dollop of whipped cream on top of your Coffee Twister. This adds a creamy texture and extra sweetness.
Chocolate Syrup (Optional):
If you want to make your Coffee Twister even more delightful and refreshing, you can drizzle some chocolate, caramel, or vanilla syrup on top of the whipped cream. This adds a delicious twist and makes your Coffee Twister look fancy.
Now, your Coffee Twister is ready to drink. Slowly sip it through a straw.
