Yuzu & Cardamom Flat White (Coffee)

This Yuzu & Coffee is not only delicious. But it’s genius!At ABACA in San Francisco, Chef Francis Ang draws from mutli-culture influences of regional Filipino cuisine; paired with his own culinary experiences abroad; giving birth to the Modern Filipino Food Movement. According to Chef Francis, “Australia has an amazing coffee culture” His favorite is a cappuccino (or flat white) with orange zest. This, in turn, inspired him to create a flat white coffee with his favorite fruit (yuzu); paired with cardamom and roasted white chocolate. And the best part is, that this drink isn’t overly sweet. It is, however, beautifully aromatic and intoxicatingly floral. The addition of the Black cardamom, adds an element of smokiness, complimenting the Yuzu, and adding awesome flavor layers, which I haven’t seen yet in coffee.

Cafecito De Familia [Coffee Cocktail, Dominican Style]

This coffee cocktail is one of the best coffee cocktails I've ever had. Chef Nelson German, Top Chef Alumnus, instills inspiration from his Oakland community, Afro-Latin roots, and mother for this delicious concoction he dubs, 'Cafecitio De Familia.' According to Chef Nelson, “Dominican coffee culture is the polar opposite of what we know here in the United States." And goes without saying that we have coffee to start the day. However, Chef Nelson’s Dominican household would have coffee to wind down and relax in the afternoon. And I have to attest, with the addition of rum, it's an amazing way to relax with a cup of coffee.

Ingredients

• 1.25 oz., Cruzan Black Strap Rum
• 1/4 oz., Licor 43
• 1/4 oz., Kalani Coconut Liqueur
• 1 espresso shot, Mr. Espresso Neapolitan Blend
• 2 dashes, Coffee Bitters
• 1 oz., Heavy Whipping Cream
• Nutmeg

Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail mixer with ice then stir for about 20 seconds.
2. Pour and strain into a rocks glass with ice.
3. Slowly pour in your cream then grate some nutmeg on top.
4. Fill the glass with Applewood smoke. Cover with lid (optional)
5. Drink immediately.

Notes

Custom Coffee Blends

Like wine, coffee has many different characteristics. For this recipe, Mr. Espresso made a custom blend for Chef Nelson's preferences. Specifically, Mr. Espresso made a blend that was dark and smokier (than most conventional artisanal offerings) that was reminiscent of Dominican-style coffee.

Cà Phê Trung [Vietnamese Egg Coffee]

After World War II, Vietnam endured severe food shortages due to the French Indochina War. In particular, fresh dairy. And it was a hotel barista named Giang, at the  Metropole Hotel in Hanoi, that devised a genius alternative for dairy in coffee.Vietnamese egg coffee (Cà Phê Trung) is made by beating an egg yolk with sweetened condensed milk until it makes an airy, creamy, meringue-like fluff. Personally, I think it’s better than traditional Vietnamese Coffee.

Ingredients

• 2 each, Fresh Chicken Egg Yolk
• 2 tablespoons, Condensed Milk
• 8 oz., Boiling Water
• 2 tablespoons, Mr. Espresso Neopolitan Blend [#8 Grind]

Instructions

Whisk the Egg

1. In a small bowl, pasteurize the fresh chicken egg in a 200° F water bath for 5 minutes.
2. Separate the yolk from the whites.
3. Whisk in condensed milk thoroughly.
4. Whisk egg yolk into soft peak.

Make the Phin Filter Coffee

1. Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
2. Add the ground coffee to a Vietnamese Phin Fitler
3. Put it on top of the glass.
4. Pour hot water over the coffee and let it drip for 5 minutes.
5. After 5 minutes, remove the coffee filter and discard the coffee grounds.

Notes:

Neapolitan Espresso [grind: espresso #2]

Like wine, coffee has many different characteristics. For this recipe, I chose a Neapolitan roast from my local coffee roaster Mr.Espresso. It has hints of caramel, hazelnut, and dark chocolate - which pairs amazing well this egg coffee
