Coffee recipes from Colombia

Cafe Canelado – cinnamon coffee

Recipe for 4 people:
4 tablespoons of ground coffee
1 pinch of cinnamon powder
2 cinnamon sticks
Sugar as needed

Preparation time: approx. 5 minutes

And this is how it is done:
Make an espresso or very strong coffee from the coffee powder. The pinch of cinnamon powder is then added to the hot espresso and mixed. Distribute the espresso between the cups and place half a cinnamon stick (as a stirring spoon, so to speak) in each of the cups. It is sweetened as required.

Colombian coffee smoothy

It is less of an original Colombian recipe, but the name probably comes from the coffee beans used, as coffee made from arabica beans should be used in this smoothy (Colombia mostly grows arabica).

Recipe for 1 person:
1 cup of iced coffee
1 cup of whipped cream
2 tablespoons of powdered sugar
A good handful of coffee frozen in ice cube molds

Preparation time: approx. 10 minutes (excluding the freezing time)

And this is how it is done:
Mix the coffee ice cubes, the cold coffee, the whipped cream and the powdered sugar in a blender until the mixture is creamy (smoothy). Pour into chilled glasses and sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar.
