Almond Roots: A delicious summer drink inspired by Lecce coffee
If you are a coffee lover and looking for a refreshing summer drink full of flavour, then you have to try the 'Almond Roots'. This delicacy is inspired by the famous Leccese coffee, a traditional drink of Salento, in Puglia. The Almond Roots combines the intensity of an espresso made with specialty coffee with the soft and creamy almond milk, the addition of liquid sugar and ice for a cold and irresistible drink.
Caffè leccese is famous for its unique taste and its method of preparation. Traditionally, it is served with ice and a generous amount of almond milk, which gives the drink a delicate and aromatic flavour. Almond Roots maintains the authenticity of this classic recipe, but with a slight twist to make it even more special.
Here's how to make Almond Roots at home:
Ingredients:
- 1 double shot of specialty espresso (you can choose our MammaMia blend or One.Espresso Process Blend)
- 100ml of almond milk
