Sweet & Bitter Iced Coffee: The Perfect Home Cafe ‘A Shot Choo’ Recipe
DIY Home Cafe: Your Ultimate Guide to ‘A Shot Choo’ (Iced Tea + Espresso Shot)
Elevate your home cafe experience with this easy-to-make ‘A Shot Choo’ recipe. It’s a delightful blend of sweet iced tea and a rich espresso shot, perfect for a refreshing pick-me-up.
Ingredients- 100ml Cold Water
- 28g Sweet Iced Tea Mix (approx. 2 standard tea sticks)
- 1 Shot Freshly Brewed Espresso
- 1 Cup Full of Ice Cubes
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start by preparing 100ml of cold water. Dissolve the 28g of sweet iced tea mix into this water, stirring well until there are no clumps. This amount typically corresponds to about two standard single-serving iced tea sticks. Dissolving the mix thoroughly in a concentrated form before adding ice ensures the drink remains flavorful even as it melts.
Step 2
Once your iced tea base is completely dissolved, it’s time to fill your glass with ice cubes. Be generous to ensure your drink stays refreshingly cold for longer. Ice not only keeps the beverage chilled but also enhances its visual appeal, making it look extra inviting.
Step 3
Next, extract one shot of espresso – the star of the ‘A Shot Choo’! Freshly brewed, warm espresso will create a wonderful contrast and depth of flavor when combined with the sweetness of the iced tea. If you don’t have an espresso machine, a Moka pot or a capsule coffee maker will work perfectly.
Step 4
Here comes the final step! Gently pour the freshly extracted espresso shot over the ice-filled glass of iced tea. The hot espresso mingling with the cold iced tea creates a beautiful layering of sweet and slightly bitter notes, along with a rich coffee aroma. Give it a good stir, and voilà – your homemade ‘A Shot Choo’ is ready! For an extra touch, feel free to add condensed milk or your favorite syrup.
