Step-by-step preparation of French coffee with cognac and vanilla, recipe with photo:
1. Pour brewed coffee into a wide-bottomed turkey or other convenient container. To enjoy the aroma and taste of the drink as much as possible, I recommend grinding coffee just before brewing.
If you have a coffee machine, use it and brew an espresso.
2. Then add sugar to the Turk. If brown sugar is available, it is best to use it. Also add some salt to soften the taste of the coffee.
3. Then add vanilla sugar to the turk. Add any spices you like, like cinnamon, cardamom, cloves, nutmeg, etc.
4. Pour coffee with drinking water and place the Turk on the stove. Turn on medium heat and brew the coffee while watching it continuously. As soon as foam appears on the surface of the drink, immediately remove the Turk from the heat. It rises very quickly, from which the drink will escape and stain the stove.
5. Let the coffee stand for 1 minute and repeat the boiling process until an airy foam forms.
6. Pour the brewed coffee through a filter (fine strainer) into a serving glass to prevent the brewed ground beans from entering.
7. Chill the drink to 80 degrees and pour in cognac or any other alcoholic beverage that is available, for example, brandy, whiskey, gin. Stir French coffee with cognac and vanilla and start tasting. This drink can be consumed hot in cold winter, and chilled in hot summer. In any form, he will give a charge of vivacity and tune in the right way.
