Coffee Recipes
I’ll add more soon, for now here’s one of the coffee drinks that got me started with espresso:
Cafe Borgia
2 cups strong Italian coffee
2 cups hot chocolate
whipped cream
grated orange peel (garnish)
1. Mix coffee and hot chocolate
2. Pour into mugs
3. Top with whipped cream and orange peel
