We went to the Starbucks in Stop and Shop the other day. For whatever reason, they were out of brewed coffee. They only had espresso. So, they suggested a drink called an Americano. It was very good. Here is how you make it:
1-2 shots of espresso
6-8 ounces of hot water
sweeten to taste
cream to taste
Brew the espresso. Put your sweetener in the cup. Pour a shot or 2 of espresso into the cup. Add hot water. The more water, the more watered-down the drink will be. You may have to experiment to get it to your liking. Add the milk or half/half to your liking. I like to use flavored syrups with this instead of sugar. I've tried hazlenut and vanilla so far. You can also use the sugar free version of the syrups, too.
It's a very good drink. It's faster for us to brew espresso than a pot of coffee.
Hey, it just hit me. This is a foam-less latte with water instead of milk!
