Benefits and harms

A drink with orange is not only tasty, but also healthy. It perfectly invigorates and tones. However, in order to achieve a positive effect from its use, you need to select only high-quality ingredients for cooking.

Orange is one of the healthiest fruits, which contains:

• Vitamin C, A, B1, B2;
• beta-carotene;
• folic acid;
• magnesium;
• sodium;
• iron.

Coffee and orange stimulate intestinal activity and normalize the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract. But overuse of a cocktail of these ingredients can lead to leaching of beneficial microelements from the body.

If you drink more than 2 cups of citrus espresso per day, you may encounter the following ailments:

• heartburn;
• increased blood sugar levels;
• overwork;
• dizziness and headache.

Pregnant women, hypertensive patients and people suffering from ulcers or gastritis will have to completely exclude coffee with orange from the menu.

Raf coffee: characteristics and calorie content

Rough coffee is classified as a dessert drink. It can be consumed in the second half of the day, although Italians recommend drinking coffee with milk and cream only before lunch and never after meals.

Raf can be safely ordered in the evening, during a meeting with friends, or instead of an afternoon snack. Its calorie content is quite high due to the presence of cream and sugar. 150 ml of drink contains 135-150 kcal. Taking into account the trend towards larger servings in coffee shops, you can quietly eat up to 15% of your daily calorie intake. That's why raf doesn't need desserts.

Regardless of the chosen recipe, it is recommended to brew citrus espresso in a Turk. Thanks to this, it will have a rich smell and taste.

Orange flavored coffee can be served either hot or cold. The first option is suitable for use in cold weather, and the second - in hot weather.

Next, cut the orange slices and mix them with granulated sugar and lemon zest. Beat the mixture with a mixer for 3 minutes. Connect the blanks.

The last step is adding the whipped cream. If desired, the composition can be decorated with nutmeg.

Raf coffee - what is it anyway?

Raf coffee is more accurately called a coffee-based cocktail. Traditional raf coffee is mixed in a 1:2 ratio, where one part of coffee is divided into two parts of cream or milk.

The very idea of ​​drinking coffee with cream was born a long time ago, and its authorship was lost in the darkness of time. But raf coffee was first prepared in the 90s in one of the capital’s coffee establishments.

• Participants in the events say that it came out in a small Coffee Bean store not far from Kuznetsky Most. There they sold grains, freshly ground coffee and prepared a drink. In the middle of the 90s of the last century, one of the regular guests named Raphael asked to make him “delicious coffee.” But he didn't like the traditional espresso recipe. The barista mixed espresso with cream, added vanilla sugar and steamed the resulting mixture directly in the cup. Rafael liked the purchased cocktail, and he began to actively order it.
• Regulars of the establishment quickly appreciated the recipe and began asking to make coffee “like Raf’s.” The name of the recipe stuck, and that’s how the famous Raf coffee appeared.
• Among the first baristas to prepare raf coffee was Tatyana Elizarova, who later became a two-time winner of the Russian Barista Championship and a European Favorite.
• It quickly became widespread. The traditional recipe has been creatively processed and supplemented, and nowadays raf coffee is prepared using a variety of methods.

You can also find an alternative version on the Internet. In it, the first sip of raf coffee is attributed to the Emperor of China of the Lian era himself. They say that the Lord mixed coffee and full-fat milk, and fell asleep before tasting the drink. Flower petals fell into the cup, the awakened ruler drank his own coffee and felt a surge of vigor. Everything could be, naturally, but only in the 6th century, when the nuances of the Lian Dynasty, coffee had not yet become widespread, so it is unlikely that the ruler indulged in a cup of raffa.

Cooking tricks

Before you start cooking, make sure the fruit is fresh. You can determine a quality fruit by paying attention to its color and condition of the peel.

A fresh orange has a bright orange color and a uniform structure. There should be no dents, holes or mold on it. If the fruit feels soft when squeezed, you should not use it for making coffee, as it is probably overripe.

Some recommendations:

1. It is not recommended to grind coffee beans in advance - in this case, the smell and taste of the drink will not be rich.
2. Before squeezing the juice, remove the white peel from the orange. Its inclusion in espresso will make it very bitter.
3. Boiling the fruit in boiling water for two minutes will help remove its waxy coating.
4. In order for orange essential oils to make the taste of coffee more concentrated, you need to grind the zest together with Arabica beans.
5. You should not make iced coffee with orange juice if you have a sore throat. Its use may complicate the course of the disease.

It is recommended to drink citrus espresso with a croissant. Such a meal will help not only cheer you up, but also improve your health and improve your mood.

Second experience. Campfire flavored coffee

Okay, I had one more orange left. So the next day I repeated the experiment. This time I didn’t let the bubbles fool me - their appearance, it turns out, does not mean at all that the coffee is boiling (as in Turkish coffee). But here another difficulty arose: the longer I kept the orange on the stove (almost not paying attention to its attempts to arrange festive illumination), the more it obviously released its own juice. Or perhaps shrinking. One way or another, the level of liquid in my homemade vessel at some point exceeded the permissible limit, and the coffee began to gradually pour out onto the fire... Looking at the stained stove, I consoled myself with the fact that an experiment is an experiment, and it’s worth putting up with difficulties.

When the contents of the orange finally got really hot (I tested this by lightly dipping a spoon into the liquid), I poured it into a cup (it ended up being quite a bit) and did tasting number two.

To be honest, the taste was so-so. The distinct notes of smoke and fire seemed unnecessary to me, the temperature was still not high enough, and the extraction clearly did not occur as expected. You can drink it, but the result is clearly not worth it.

Is it worth buying ready-made mixtures?

Online stores offer a variety of mixtures made from ground coffee beans and saffron. It is not advisable to purchase such products, since it is difficult to obtain a reliable guarantee of the authenticity of the seasoning used.

You can buy dried saffron stigmas. At home they are crushed using a coffee grinder. And then mix thoroughly with ground coffee. For a jar weighing 250 grams, it is enough to add 1-2 grams of seasoning.

Connoisseurs of the flavor bouquet of saffron recommend that you try adding this seasoning to coffee. If you wish, you can practice different recipes, choosing over time the most suitable option for a healthy drink to start the day.

Saffron for weight loss

The inclusion of coffee with saffron in the diet when maintaining a diet aimed at losing weight is explained by the ability of this spice to intensify the removal of fat from the body.

Saffron also helps reduce appetite, which leads to a decrease in food intake. This spice promotes quick saturation and maintains this feeling for a long time. The feeling of hunger is significantly dulled and does not cause discomfort.

The ability of spicy spices to improve mood and eliminate depression helps to quickly get rid of extra pounds. Already a month after the introduction of coffee with saffron to the menu, you can notice positive dynamics in weight loss.

Citrus raff at home

First we prepare the coffee. I have a drip coffee maker, so I made coffee in it.

Whisk the warm milk, I do this with a small electronic milk whisk.

We put sugar in the coffee, and I also added a little cool milk so that the coffee is not hot, but warm. Then add orange syrup.

Finally, add steamed milk to the coffee.

The proportions are approximately the following: two parts coffee, one part milk. Although you can have more milk – it’s also tasty and depends only on personal preferences.

And one more important detail - you need to add a little orange syrup, about a tablespoon per glass, otherwise the milk in the coffee will curdle again. Well, it’s not so tasty when there is a lot of syrup - then it overwhelms all the other tastes in the drink, coffee and milk, and it’s no longer the same.

And here it is in the end - our citrus raf.
