If you love coffee and are looking for a refreshing, flavor-rich summer drink, then you have to try the "Almond Roots".
This treat is inspired by the famous caffè leccese, a traditional drink from Salento, in Puglia. Almond Roots combines the intensity of espresso made with specialty coffee with smooth, creamy almond milk, liquid sugar, and ice for a cold and irresistible drink.
Caffè leccese is famous for its unique taste and preparation method. Traditionally, it is served with ice and a generous amount of almond milk, which gives the drink a delicate, aromatic flavor. Almond Roots preserves the authenticity of this classic recipe, with a slight variation to make it even more special.
Here's how to prepare Almond Roots at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 double shot of specialty espresso (you can choose our MammaMia or One.Espresso Process Blend)
- 100 ml of almond milk
- 2-3 teaspoons of liquid sugar (or to taste)
- Crushed ice
Instructions:
- Prepare the double shot of specialty espresso using your favorite coffee machine.
- Pour the hot espresso into a tall glass filled about one-third with crushed ice.
- Add the almond milk to the glass, filling the rest of the glass.
- Add the liquid sugar and stir gently to make sure it dissolves well.
- Taste the drink and, if necessary, add more liquid sugar to taste.
- Add a straw and a couple of ice cubes to keep the drink cool for longer.
- Stir gently before enjoying your Almond Roots.
