So that the coffee lovers among us also get their money’s worth at Christmas, we have put together the three most delicious coffee recipes for the Christmas season. Let yourself be inspired.
1. The classic Christmas coffee
Even if there is perhaps no such thing as a classic Christmas coffee, this one certainly comes as close as it gets. It is one of the most popular coffee specialties at Christmas time and is wonderful to prepare at home. The taste is, as is typical for a coffee, strong and tasty. Small Christmas accents of cloves, vanilla beans and cinnamon turn the standard drink into a real Christmas coffee. Convince yourself and try the recipe directly.
Ingredient list:
1 vanilla bean
1 tsp sugar
150ml of water
1 pinch cloves
1 pinch cinnamon
1 fresh espresso (or 25 ml strong coffee)
3 tablespoons foamed milk
The preparation:
Scratch the pulp out of the vanilla bean. To do this, you have to cut them open lengthwise and use a spoon to scrape off the pith on the walls of the pod.
Now you have to boil the pulp together with the water, cinnamon, sugar and cloves.
Take the espresso and stir it into the mixture. Then you can put everything together in a cup.
The foamed milk can be used as a topping. Some cinnamon is sprinkled on top.
The remaining vanilla bean can be used for stirring.
The finished Christmas coffee can be enjoyed wonderfully with pastries or cakes. But also in the morning for breakfast or in the evening with an exciting book, the enjoyable drink gives warmth and a Christmas feel-good atmosphere.
2. Christmas marzipan coffee with cinnamon
Cinnamon and marzipan are an indispensable part of Christmas in every household. So it’s no wonder that these ingredients can also be used to conjure up an enjoyable Christmas coffee. The preparation is easy and takes little time. For the correct preparation you should have the following ingredients ready:
Ingredient list:
1 tsp chopped almonds
25 g raw marzipan
100ml milk
1 pinch cinnamon
100 ml fresh coffee
3 tablespoons frothed milk
The preparation:
Put the almonds in a pan and lightly brown them over medium-high heat. Finely grate the marzipan.
Now heat the 100 ml milk and add the marzipan while stirring. In the same step you also add cinnamon.
Now fill the cup with coffee and the marzipan-cinnamon-milk. You can add sugar if you like.
Then heat some milk and whip it into milk froth. This serves as a topping for the coffee. For decoration, the coffee can be sprinkled with almonds or cinnamon.
3. Christmas coffee with amaretto and cocoa
This coffee recipe with amaretto is an alcoholic version of the Christmas coffee. The liqueur made from almonds or apricot kernels, reminiscent of marzipan, is very popular for refining Christmas recipes. It also goes well with coffee and chocolate. Try it out.
Ingredient list:
125 ml fresh coffee
2 tsp cocoa powder
30 ml amaretto
1 teaspoon grated chocolate
1 pinch cinnamon
cream
Optional: vanilla
The preparation:
Brew coffee how you like it. We recommend brewing a slightly stronger coffee so that it comes into its own.
Put the coffee and amaretto together in a mug.
Stir in a pinch of cinnamon and, if you like, some vanilla.
Then add the cocoa powder. If you like it a little sweeter, you can also use instant cocoa here.
As a topping, put the whipped cream or spray cream in the cup and refine with chocolate shavings.
And this coffee variation is ready, which of course still tastes delicious after Christmas. Expanding the recipe or adding ingredients is not difficult and also offers some variety. You are also welcome to try gingerbread spice instead of cinnamon or caramel syrup instead of grated chocolate.
