Masala coffee is a fragrant and spicy drink of Indian cuisine. The country is famous for its ancient culture, long-lived people and spices.
As in any other country in the world, coffee is not absent here, and it is brewed with health in mind, meaning without alcohol and heavy cream, as in the West.
Masala - what is it?
The drink is brewed not in a Turk or even in a coffee maker, but in an ordinary saucepan. The mixture consists of milk (3 parts), cream (1 part), coarsely ground coffee and spices.
As for the word "masala", when translated into Russian, the recipe will sound like "with spices". This is how they prepare not only coffee, but also tea.
The most commonly used spices are cinnamon, ground black pepper, cumin, ginger, cardamom or cloves, nutmeg, star anise, etc.
The main condition is that they must all be fresh and tart.
But you shouldn’t add vanilla to this drink, because that would be a completely different story.
