Cafe Cola Recipe at Home
If you’re looking to jazz up your coffee routine, let me introduce you to a delightful drink that combines the boldness of coffee with the effervescence of cola: the Cafe Cola! This refreshing concoction is perfect for warm afternoons or a fun twist on your typical coffee fix.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled to room temperature)
- 1/2 cup cola (your favorite brand)
- 1 tablespoon simple syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (for iced version)
- Lemon wedge (optional, for garnish)
Method:
- Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Aim for a medium to dark roast for that rich flavor, and allow it to cool to room temperature (about 15-20 minutes).
- In a tall glass, add ice cubes to your liking if you want an iced version. For a hot version, skip this step.
- Pour the cooled coffee into the glass, followed by the cola. The fizz will create a delightful mingling of flavors.
- Stir in the simple syrup. Taste and adjust the sweetness as desired—some folks love it a bit sweeter!
- If you’re feeling adventurous, add a squeeze of lemon for a zesty twist. Serve immediately and enjoy the fizzy goodness!
Optional Variations:
- Sweetness: Use flavored syrups like vanilla or caramel for a fun twist.
- Milk/Non-Dairy: Add a splash of milk or a non-dairy alternative for a creamier texture.
- Iced/Hot: Serve it chilled over ice or warm it slightly for a cozy drink.
Troubleshooting Tip: If your drink tastes overly sweet, balance it out by adding a splash more coffee or cola to dilute the sweetness.
Serving Suggestion: Pair your Cafe Cola with a slice of chocolate cake or a light pastry for a perfect afternoon treat. Enjoy this delightful fusion of flavors and elevate your coffee game!
