1. Caramel Mocha Latte

A caramel mocha latte is a perfect afternoon treat, or even as an after dinner style dessert coffee. If you are looking for a quick and easy way to dramatically transform your standard coffee, this is the ideal recipe. We recommend choosing a roast coffee with a rich flavour as it will enhance the sweet flavours of the chocolate and caramel.

100g chopped walnutsA pinch of grated toffee

Method:

Firstly, you will need to add a teaspoon of chocolate syrup and caramel coffee syrup into a cup, along with your shot of espresso, and mix until your ingredients are combined well. Then, heat some milk and gradually add this into your mixture. For a decadent finish add whipped cream, chocolate shavings and small pieces of grated toffee.

2. Salted Caramel Frappuccino

This coffee recipe is perfect if you are looking for a sweet and indulgent treat, which will also keep you cool in the hot summer weather. As one of the most popular drinks on the high street, this blend of ice, coffee and delicious syrup combine to create the perfect balance of a thick milkshake style iced coffee. In fact, it is this texture which is described in France as a ‘lait frappe’ that is the inspiration behind the word ‘Frappuccino’.

Ingredients:

A cup of crushed ice

1 cup of strong freshly brewed coffee

Half a cup of milk

Salted caramel syrup

2x teaspoons of sugar

Method:

Firstly, you will need to prepare your coffee and leave it to cool for about 15 minutes so that it doesn’t melt the ice too quickly. Swirl the salted caramel syrup around the edge of your glass to create a professional look, then add the ice, cold coffee, more caramel syrup, milk, and sugar into a blender. Everything should be blended at a high speed until it is completely smooth, then it can be poured into your glass. A great tip for those who prefer a thicker Frappuccino is to use frozen coffee ice cubes!

3. Cuban Iced Café Con Leche

Café Con Leche is a popular white coffee in Spain, but this version has an exciting Cuban style twist with the addition of sugar and cinnamon. In Cuba, this coffee is often enjoyed first thing in the morning with buttered Cuban toast.

Ingredients:

A pinch of cinnamon

2x teaspoons of demerara sugar

1 cup of freshly brewed coffee

½ cup of milk

A glass of Ice cubes

Method:

Firstly, place your sugar in a glass and add 2 tablespoons of freshly brewed but cooled coffee, then stir briskly until the mixture turns to a foam. This foam is known in Cuba as espuma, and it is the unique base which creates the amazing flavour within one of the most popular Cuban coffee recipes.

Once you achieve the desired consistency, add the rest of the coffee and a sprinkle of cinnamon, or alternatively a dash of cinnamon syrup. Finally, pour the mixture into a glass of ice cubes and add your milk, before finishing with a final sprinkling of cinnamon. For a true taste of the tropics, you could replace the milk with coconut milk or add a dash of coconut flavoured syrup.

4. White Chocolate Latte

There are many chocolate latte coffee recipes, but this is a quick and easy twist which is perfect for making at home, as well as for serving to your customers.

Why Is Coffee Such A Popular Drink?
