But let’s be honest… there are days when you just want to break the routine. Here are 5 different and delicious ways to enjoy your 100% Colombian freeze-dried coffee beyond the classic black coffee.
For many, the simplest yet most delicious way to enjoy freeze-dried coffee is as a traditional hot black coffee. However, there’s a way to take this experience to the next level.
Dissolve 1 teaspoon of freeze-dried coffee in hot water and stir until completely dissolved. You can adjust the intensity by adding more or less coffee to taste. Up to this point, everything is pretty standard—the secret lies in adding a pinch of cinnamon and a bit of orange zest to achieve a more complex aromatic profile.
Also known as an espresso tonic, this preparation perfectly combines citrus notes, the characteristic bitterness of coffee, and the refreshing touch of ice and tonic water.
For this recipe, you’ll need a 100% Colombian freeze-dried coffee suitable for iced coffee, such as Buendía Iced Coffee. Prepare some cold coffee, adjusting the concentration to your liking. In a 300 ml glass, add ice cubes and a few slices of lemon or orange. Then pour in the tonic water, and finally, gently add the cold coffee over the tonic to create that dark top layer. Taste it before stirring, then mix and enjoy. Homemade Coffee Tonic!
I know—it sounds surprising, but it’s delicious. If you have some leftover iced coffee from the previous recipe, you can try this variation, rich in antioxidants and vitamin C, which can help fight stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.
Fill a glass with ice and pour in orange juice, leaving enough space for the next ingredient: an espresso made with iced coffee. Carefully add the coffee so the two liquids don’t mix. Take a sip. Now stir everything together and enjoy.
Coffee Cream
Coffee cream is a simple yet very versatile preparation, ideal for pairing with desserts, fruits, cookies, or even enjoying on its own as a light sweet treat.
Dissolve one teaspoon of freeze-dried coffee in a small amount of hot water to obtain a concentrated coffee. Separately, heat some heavy cream over low heat with sugar to taste, without letting it boil. Add the dissolved coffee, mix well, and remove from heat. Let it cool and refrigerate for at least one hour until it thickens and reaches a creamier consistency. It will be ready to accompany your desserts, cookies, and cakes.
