Drink

Cognac

Cognac ( kon-yak, also us: kohn-, kawn-, french: [kɔɲak] (listen)) is a variety of brandy named after the commune of cognac, france. it is produced in the surrounding wine-growing region in the departments of charente and charente-maritime. cognac production falls under french appellation d'origine contrôlée (aoc) designation, with production methods and naming required to meet certain legal requirements. among the specified grapes, ugni blanc, known locally as saint-émilion, is most widely used. the brandy must be twice distilled in copper pot stills and aged at least two years in french oak barrels from limousin or tronçais. cognac matures in the same way as whiskies and wines barrel-age, and most cognacs spend considerably longer "on the wood" than the minimum legal requirement.

Drink

Eggnog

Eggnog (), historically also known as a milk punch or an egg milk punch when alcoholic beverages are added, is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based beverage. it is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites (which gives it a frothy texture, and its name). distilled spirits such as brandy, rum, whisky or bourbon are often a key ingredient. throughout canada, the united states and some european countries, eggnog is traditionally consumed over the christmas season, from late october until the end of the holiday season. a variety called ponche crema has been made and consumed in venezuela and trinidad since the 1900s, also as part of the christmas season. during that time, commercially prepared eggnog is sold in grocery stores in these countries. eggnog is also homemade using milk, eggs, sugar, and flavorings, and served with cinnamon or nutmeg. while eggnog is often served chilled, in some cases it is warmed, particularly on cold days (similar to the way mulled wine is served warm). eggnog or eggnog flavoring may also be used in other drinks, such as coffee (e.g., an "eggnog latte" espresso drink) and tea, or to dessert foods such as egg-custard puddings.

Drink

Kefir

Kefir (also spelled as kephir or kefier, russian: кефир; adyghe: къундэпс; karachay-balkar: гыпы) ( kə-feer) is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt or ayran that is made from kefir grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. the drink originated in the north caucasus, in particular the elbrus region along the upper mountainous sections of circassia, karachay and balkaria from where it came to russia, and from there it spread to europe and the united states, where it is prepared by inoculating the milk of cows, goats, or sheep with kefir grains.the principal human benefit of consuming kefir, rather than the milk that it is produced from, is that adults often lose the ability to digest lactose and therefore may have difficulty or digestive problems absorbing the nutrients and minerals usually present in animal milk; kefir converts milk into a low-lactose beverage that still retains all of milk's nutritional benefits. the dense concentration of certain bacteria and yeast in kefir is also believed to aid digestion in much the same way that yoghurt does.the world's largest kefir producer is russia, followed by poland. kefir is a breakfast, lunch, and dinner drink popular across belarus, estonia, hungary, latvia, lithuania, poland, romania, russia, and ukraine - where it is known as an affordable health drink. it is also known in norway, sweden, and finland, where fermented milk drinks are common, such as surmjølk/surmjölk. kefir is common particularly among russian and estonian minorities) . in south slavic countries kefir is consumed at any time of the day, especially with zelnik/zeljanica, burek and banitsa/gibanica, as well as in cold soups served in the summer.

Drink

Caffè corretto

Caffè corretto (pronounced [kafˈfɛ kkorˈrɛtto]), an italian caffeinated alcoholic drink, consists of a shot of espresso with a small amount of liquor, usually grappa, and sometimes sambuca or brandy. it is also known (outside italy) as an "espresso corretto". it is ordered as "un caffè corretto alla grappa", "… alla sambuca", "… al cognac", or "corretto di spadino", depending on the desired liquor. most italian bartenders prepare a caffè corretto simply adding a few drops of the desired liquor into an espresso shot; however in some cases the liquor is served in a shot alongside the coffee allowing the customer to pour the quantity they desire. a few bartenders also let their regular customers make their drink themselves providing the espresso shot and the bottle of liquor. the italian word corretto corresponds to the english word 'correct' in the sense of 'corrected'. the term is now an italian phraseme.caffè corretto can also be found widely in eritrea, a legacy of the italian colonization of eritrea. asmarino bartenders pour locally produced areki and cognac. in spain, a similar drink is known as carajillo; in portugal it is known as café com cheirinho (coffee with scent); in france pousse-café or café-calva (coffee and calvados); and in sweden, norway, and denmark as kaffekask, karsk, or kaffegök.

Drink

Caffè macchiato

Caffè macchiato (italian pronunciation: [kafˈfɛ mmakˈkjaːto] (listen)), sometimes called espresso macchiato, is an espresso coffee drink with a small amount of milk, usually foamed. in italian, macchiato means "stained" or "spotted", so the literal translation of caffè macchiato is "stained coffee" or "marked coffee".

Drink

Cappuccino

A cappuccino ( (listen); italian pronunciation: [kapputˈtʃiːno]; italian plural: cappuccini) is an espresso-based coffee drink that originated in austria with later development taking place in italy, and is prepared with steamed milk foam (microfoam).variations of the drink involve the use of cream instead of milk, using non-dairy milk substitutes and flavoring with cinnamon or chocolate powder. it is typically smaller in volume than a caffè latte, with a thicker layer of microfoam.the name comes from the capuchin friars, referring to the colour of their habits, and in this context referring to the colour of the beverage when milk is added in small portion to dark, brewed coffee (today mostly espresso). the physical appearance of a modern cappuccino with espresso créma and steamed milk is a result of a long evolution of the drink. the viennese bestowed the name "kapuziner", possibly in the 18th century, on a version that included whipped cream and spices of unknown origin. the italian cappuccino was unknown outside italy until the 1930s, and seems to be born out of viennese-style cafés in trieste and other italian areas in austria-hungary through the kapuziner coffee in the early 20th century. the drink spread from trieste, the main coffee port in central europe, throughout italy, especially after world war i and later worldwide, and can be found at a number of establishments.

Drink

Coffee

Coffee is a brewed drink prepared from roasted coffee beans, the seeds of berries from certain flowering plants in the coffea genus. from the coffee fruit, the seeds are separated to produce a stable, raw product: unroasted green coffee. the seeds are then roasted, a process which transforms them into a consumable product: roasted coffee, which is ground into fine particles that are typically steeped in hot water before being filtered out, producing a cup of coffee. coffee is darkly colored, bitter, slightly acidic and has a stimulating effect in humans, primarily due to its caffeine content. it is one of the most popular drinks in the world and can be prepared and presented in a variety of ways (e.g., espresso, french press, caffè latte, or already-brewed canned coffee). it is usually served hot, although chilled or iced coffee is common. sugar, sugar substitutes, milk or cream are often used to lessen the bitter taste or enhance the flavor. it may be served with coffee cake or another sweet dessert, like doughnuts. a commercial establishment that sells prepared coffee beverages is known as a coffeehouse or coffee shop (not to be confused with dutch coffeeshops selling cannabis). clinical research indicates that moderate coffee consumption is benign or mildly beneficial as a stimulant in healthy adults, with continuing research on whether long-term consumption has positive or negative effects.though coffee is now a global commodity, it has a long history tied closely to food traditions around the red sea. the earliest credible evidence of the drinking of coffee in the form of the modern beverage appears in modern-day yemen from the mid-15th century in sufi shrines, where coffee seeds were first roasted and brewed in a manner similar to current methods. the yemenis procured the coffee beans from the ethiopian highlands via coastal somali intermediaries and began cultivation. by the 16th century, the drink had reached the rest of the middle east and north africa, later spreading to europe. in the 20th century, coffee became a much more global commodity, creating different coffee cultures around the world. the two most commonly grown coffee bean types are c. arabica and c. robusta. coffee plants are cultivated in over 70 countries, primarily in the equatorial regions of the americas, southeast asia, the indian subcontinent, and africa. as of 2018, brazil was the leading grower of coffee beans, producing 35% of the world total. coffee is a major export commodity as the leading legal agricultural export for numerous countries. it is one of the most valuable commodities exported by developing countries. green, unroasted coffee is the most traded agricultural commodity and one of the most traded commodities overall, second only to petroleum. despite the sales of coffee reaching billions of dollars, those actually producing the beans are disproportionately living in poverty. critics also point to the coffee industry's negative impact on the environment and the clearing of land for coffee-growing and water use. the environmental costs and wage disparity of farmers are causing the market for fair trade and organic coffee to expand.

Drink

Cortado

A cortado is a beverage consisting of espresso mixed with a roughly equal amount of warm milk to reduce the acidity. the milk in a cortado is steamed, but not frothy and "texturized" as in many italian coffee drinks. the cortado comes from spain, most likely madrid, where it is commonly served.the word cortado is the past participle of the spanish verb cortar (to cut), in the sense of "dilute", and can refer variously to either coffee or espresso drinks throughout spanish and portuguese speaking countries.

Drink

Espresso

Espresso ( (listen), italian: [eˈsprɛsso]) is a coffee-brewing method of italian origin, in which a small amount of nearly boiling water (about 90 °c or 190 °f) is forced under 9–10 bars (900–1,000 kpa; 130–150 psi) of pressure through finely-ground coffee beans. espresso coffee can be made with a wide variety of coffee beans and roast degrees. espresso is the most common way of making coffee in southern europe, especially in italy, france, spain and portugal. it is also popular in switzerland, croatia, bulgaria, greece, and in australia. espresso is generally thicker than coffee brewed by other methods, with a viscosity similar to that of warm honey. this is due to the higher concentration of suspended and dissolved solids, and the crema on top (a foam with a creamy consistency). as a result of the pressurized brewing process, the flavors and chemicals in a typical cup of espresso are very concentrated. espresso has more caffeine per unit volume than most coffee beverages, but because the usual serving size is much smaller, the total caffeine content is less than a mug of standard brewed coffee. the actual caffeine content of any coffee drink varies by size, bean origin, roast method and other factors, but a typical 28 grams (1 ounce) serving of espresso usually contains 64.5 milligrams of caffeine, whereas a typical serving of drip coffee usually contains 150 to 200 mg.the three dispersed phases in espresso are what make this beverage unique. the first dispersed phase is an emulsion of oil droplets. the second phase is suspended solids, while the third is the layer of gas bubbles or foam. the dispersion of very small oil droplets is perceived in the mouth as creamy. this characteristic of espresso contributes to what is known as the body of the beverage. these oil droplets preserve some of the aromatic compounds that are lost to the air in other coffee forms. this preserves the strong coffee flavor present in the espresso.espresso is the base for various coffee drinks, including caffè latte, cappuccino, caffè macchiato, caffè mocha, flat white, and caffè americano.

Drink

Latte macchiato

Latte macchiato (italian pronunciation: [ˈlatte makˈkjaːto]) is a coffee beverage; the name means stained or marked milk, which refers to the espresso stain on the milk used. it is a play on “espresso macchiato,” an espresso with a dollop or two of milk or cream.

Drink

Lungo

Lungo (italian for "long") is a coffee beverage made by using an espresso machine to make an italian-style coffee – short black (a single espresso shot) with more water (generally twice as much), resulting in a larger coffee, a lungo. a normal serving of espresso takes from 18 to 30 seconds to pull, and fills 25 to 60 millilitres, while a lungo may take up to a minute to pull, and might fill 130 to 170 millilitres. extraction time of the dose is determined by the variety of coffee beans (usually a blend of arabica and robusta), their grind and the pressure of the machine. it is usually brewed using an espresso machine but with two or three times the amount of water to the same weight of coffee to make a much longer drink.in french it is called café allongé.

Drink

Marocchino

Marocchino (caffè marocchino) is a coffee drink created in alessandria, italy. it is served in a small glass and consists of a shot of espresso (sometimes a small shot, or ristretto), cocoa powder and milk froth. in some regions of northern italy, thick hot cocoa is added. in alba, the home of the italian chocolate giant ferrero, nutella is used. the name marocchino (italian for moroccan) is derived from its colour, as marocchino was a type of light brown leather (see morocco leather) used in the 1930s to make hair bands.
