3. Wait for the coffee grounds to settle to the bottom of the pot, then gently pour out the clear coffee liquid on top.

3. When drinking, you can add lemon or honey, or pair it with Turkish sugar, cream candy, or chocolate for a very unique flavor.

XXVIII. Royal Coffee:

The inventor of this superb coffee was a battle-hardened emperor—Napoleon, Emperor of the French Empire. He did not like the taste of milk and preferred France's pride—brandy. The blue flame dances with the mellow richness of brandy and the caramelized aroma of sugar cubes, then blends with the rich coffee aroma, slightly sweet amid the bitterness, fully displaying France's pride and romance.

——Royal Coffee Preparation Method (one serving)——

1. First brew 90 ml of hot Blue Mountain coffee and pour it into a preheated porcelain cup.

XXIX. Magic Ice Cream Coffee:

The "Yuanyang" made of black tea plus coffee can be made not only iced but also as a hot drink, as if symbolizing a pair of lovebirds bound by fate. Whether in deep waters and scorching fire or in ice and snow, they are always a community of life. Before drinking, add some thick sweet condensed milk to blend the flavors, symbolizing that there is still much sweetness in life.

Half a cup of iced black tea

Half a cup of iced coffee

An appropriate amount of condensed milk

P.S. For those who prefer hot drinks, simply switch the black tea and coffee to hot.

XXXIII. Irish Coffee:

Its very name carries the strong smoky aroma of whiskey. Irish people regard whiskey as their life, and they certainly would not miss the chance to add it to coffee too! Irish coffee made with whiskey better brings out the sweet-and-sour taste of coffee. A trace of mature melancholy... Be careful, you can get drunk from drinking too much coffee.

XXXIV. Con Panna · Macchiato Coffee:

Italian coffee truly "lets a hundred flowers bloom," and now it has produced two more blossoms: Con Panna and Macchiato. Simply add an appropriate amount of fresh cream to Italian espresso and a cup of Con Panna is easily completed. The tender white fresh cream floats gently on the deep coffee, like a white lotus emerging unstained from muddy water, making one reluctant to drink it in one gulp. In Italian espresso, without adding fresh cream or milk, just add two large spoonfuls of dense, delicate milk foam and you have a Macchiato. Unlike Con Panna, if you want to enjoy the deliciousness of a Macchiato, you have to drink it in one gulp.

XXXV. Green Tea Coffee:

The fresh fragrance of green tea draws our gaze back from distant lands. Japan is a nation skilled at absorbing and integrating, and this time they have found a balance between Western coffee and Eastern green tea, also offering tea-loving friends a new favorite. This is a coffee with a pure Eastern flavor, where the elegant fragrance of green tea and the rich heaviness of coffee interact and surge together.

XXXVI. Mocha Frost Coffee:

Friends who love chocolate, do you still have an appetite to try a "frosted" chocolate mocha coffee? Use a blender to crush and blend ice cubes and ice cream, creating a dense visual effect, then add mocha iced coffee, and it's done! Smooth on the palate, refreshing and aromatic, giving you a cool afternoon in the scorching summer.
