RECIPES ITALIAN CAPPUCCINO This is a normal espresso with steam-heated milk giving the coffee a milder flavour and a rich, delicious frothy topping. Pour some cold milk into a deep jug and heat with the steam jet, pour only the froth onto the espresso tilting and rocking the jug slightly or scoop off the froth with a spoon. Some cocoa powder can also be dusted on the milk froth. VIENNESE CAPPUCCINO This variation is the result of the age-old Austrian tradition. Prepare a 'weak' espresso on the machine for 30-35 seconds, then add hot milk topped by whipped cream. Serve in a medium-sized cup (midway between an espresso cup and a cappuccino cup). Decorate with flakes of chocolate. 26 COLD ESPRESSO SHAKE Frothy and extremely refreshing, this drink is delicious on hot days. Prepare an espresso, add sugar and pour into a shaker with large ice cubes. IRISH COFFE Energy-giving and invigorating drink. Warm a long glass and mix eight parts of hot coffee with one part whisky and brown sugar. Gently pour some freshly whipped cream over the back of a spoon so that it floats on the coffee: the result is a layer of cool white cream on top of the hot dark coffee. Mix a portion of double cream, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, a pinch of nutmeg and sugar in a small cup and beat until this mixture becomes frothy. Pour a teaspoon of chocolate syrup and the coffee into a medium-sized cup, adding a further pinch of cinnamon, and blend together. Top with a teaspoon of vanilla-flavoured cream. CAPPUCCINO ICE-CREAM Heat 2 cups of espresso, ¾ cup of cream and ½ cup of sugar in a pan up to the boiling point. Let the mixture cool down, then put in the freezer for 4-5 hours. Move to the refrigerator for half an hour before serving.
