Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Whole almonds
- 2 teaspoons Sugar
- 2 cups Brewed coffee
- 0.25 cups Milk (optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Caramel sauce (optional)
Instructions
1. Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the whole almonds.
2. Toast the almonds, stirring occasionally, until they become golden brown and slightly charred. This should take about 3-5 minutes. Be careful not to burn them too much.
3. Remove the toasted almonds from the skillet and set aside to cool slightly.
4. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and sprinkle the sugar evenly across the pan.
5. Allow the sugar to melt and caramelize, stirring gently with a wooden spoon until it forms a golden syrup. This process takes approximately 2-3 minutes. Avoid overheating to prevent burning.
6. Pour the brewed coffee into the skillet with the caramelized sugar and stir until the sugar dissolves completely into the coffee.
7. Add the toasted almonds to the coffee mixture and simmer for 2 minutes to infuse the flavors.
8. Strain the coffee through a fine mesh sieve to remove the almonds and pour it into your serving cups.
9. Stir in the vanilla extract and, if desired, the milk for a creamier flavor.
10. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with caramel sauce for an indulgent touch (optional).
11. Serve immediately and enjoy your Burnt Almond Coffee!
