A fun way to spice up your coffee routine is by li

A fun way to spice up your coffee routine is by literally adding spice to it. A dirty chai is just a latte with a splash of chai concentrate.

Chai concentrate consists of a number of spices including ginger, cardamom, nutmeg, star anise, black peppercorns, and cinnamon (with a few other ingredients as well). To make this dirty chai recipe much simpler, I recommend just buying some high-quality chai concentrate from the store. Swipe right to see my choice of store-bought chai. It works just as well as making your own, and saves you loads of time because it’s a fairly intensive process to DIY!

Another tip I have for this recipe is to feel free to replace the espresso with a strong coffee concentrate, if you don’t have a way to make espresso at home. You can either reduce your coffee to water ratio in your usual brew method or use an AeroPress or Moka pot to get a strong enough coffee concentrate for this dirty chai.

After you’ve gotten a hold of these ingredients, you’re ready for a new take on your coffee. In combining the chai concentrate with a normal latte, you’re left with a warm and spicy espresso drink that is sure to keep you perked up all throughout the day. Read on to make this super easy 3-ingredient dirty chai latte.

𝑇ℎ𝑟𝑒𝑒-𝐼𝑛𝑔𝑟𝑒𝑑𝑖𝑒𝑛𝑡 𝐷𝑖𝑟𝑡𝑦 𝐶ℎ𝑎𝑖 𝐿𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒 𝑅𝑒𝑐𝑖𝑝𝑒

Ingredients:
•¼ cup chai concentrate (store-bought or homemade)

•2 shots of espresso or 4 ounces of highly-concentrated coffee

•¾ cup milk of your choice

Instructions:

1. For a warm chai, foam your milk first and have it on deck.

2. Next, pull your espresso or coffee-concentrate and pour into a server. Add chai concentrate to espresso and stir gently.

3. Pour foamed milk over chai-espresso mixture. Serve immediately.

4. For an iced chai, combine all three ingredients in a tall glass. Add more concentrate if desired.

5. Finish the drink off with a couple of ice cubes (or even better — throw in a few cold brew coffee ice cubes!).

An affogato is an Italian dessert consisting of vanilla ice cream that is covered by freshly prepared espresso. Enjoy it for breakfast or as an after-dinner dessert.

Though it seems pretty basic in theory, there are a few things to know before going about it to save yourself a few easy-to-make mistakes. Read on for the best affogato-making secrets.

1. The quality of the espresso doesn’t have to be top-tier.

2. The vanilla bean ice cream, on the other hand, does need to taste good…REALLY good. Since an affogato is mostly ice cream, it needs to be high-quality ice cream. It will make or break your final result.
(Try Salt & Straw if you haven’t already!)

3. Pour the espresso over the scooped ice cream as soon as you can after the shot has been pulled.

4. Garnish the finished product with chocolate shavings and a one-inch square of prepared salted brownies.

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous K

Coffee Pairing of the Week: Wisconsin’s Famous Kringle with Gesha Coffee

While some of us are familiar with wine and cheese pairings, most of us are not as familiar with coffee and food pairings (and I don’t know about you, but I tend to enjoy this combo much more frequently than the former).

As a tribute to my home state, I attempted to make kringle, and I’ve discovered it’s a lot harder than it looks. The one pictured is actually a kringle from an authentic Danish bakery in WI because my first attempts have yet to be successful. And while kringle is good on its own, it’s even better when perfectly paired with a Gesha coffee.

The reason I went with this choice is because Gesha coffee is almost like a tea. The flavors are complex and boast of sweet, floral notes. Gesha coffee also has a much lighter body than most other coffees. This mild quality works to delicately compliment the buttery and fruity flavors of this pastry, but it won’t entirely overtake the wonderful flavors of the kringle.

Do you have a favorite Gesha coffee? I’ve shared my favorite in the comments below!
