Chapter 172 Frozen Cream Cube Coffee

This time, beyond Lin Xiaoxiao's imagination, the vegetable market ordered by Jian Yining was very simple.

Except for a dessert of frozen cream cubes of coffee, all that's left is a creamy bun and some very simple dishes. Lin Xiaoxiao looked at the menu, a little puzzled.

She really couldn't believe that this time Lin Xiaoxiao really just ordered so many simple dishes.

There have always been finished preparations in the back kitchen of the milky steamed buns, and the rest of the dishes can be handed over to Zhang Lang to make, Lin Xiaoxiao only needs to prepare a frozen cream cube coffee.

In fact, there is nothing difficult to make this dessert, but it is more time-consuming, and there have always been fewer people ordering it, so Lin Xiaoxiao needs to go into battle in person.

After putting down the recipe, Lin Xiaoxiao began to prepare to make the frozen cream cube coffee.

Chilled brioche coffee may be less familiar, but it also has a well-known colloquial name – cappuccino.

No ice cubes are required during the entire process of making Frozen Custard Coffee, and the unique feature is that the finished product must be chilled.

First of all, in order to make the production process more convenient, Lin Xiaoxiao first prepared all kinds of spices that would be used later.

Coffee, sweetened milk boiled again, and cinnamon powder, after preparing these few spices that may be used later, Lin Xiaoxiao began the next step of the production process.

First of all, Lin Xiaoxiao first prepared a cup of pure American coffee.

The coffee beans used by Lin Xiaoxiao were specially flown in from South Africa. She uses a machine to grind the beans into powder and then pours the ground coffee into a clear glass bowl.

After adding almost 300 milliliters of pure water, Lin Xiaoxiao gently stirred to let the coffee powder fully contact with the water. After that, Lin Xiaoxiao put the lid on the glass bowl and let it sit at room temperature for about 12 minutes.

After waiting for eight minutes, Lin Xiaoxiao opened the lid and gently stirred again. At this time, fresh coffee grease has risen in the glass bowl, and most of the coffee grounds have sunk to the bottom of the glass bowl.

Once this is the point, it's time for the next filtration process. Lin Xiaoxiao uses a fine strainer to filter out the espresso liquid, and then mixes the filtered espresso liquid into ice water according to the ratio of one to three, and a cup of authentic Americano is ready.

Although the Americano is ready, there are some differences from the finished frozen cream coffee cube that follows. For the final product, Americano is just the middle of the seasoning.

The next thing Lin Xiaoxiao needs to do is to make frozen cream cube coffee.

Lin Xiaoxiao first put the freshly made Americano in the refrigerator, and after the coffee was frozen into coffee ice cubes, Lin Xiaoxiao poured sweetened boiled milk into it.

Waiting for the cup to turn white due to the sweetened boiled milk, Lin Xiaoxiao slowly poured the frozen coffee cube from the top of the cup.

At this point, milk and coffee have naturally split into two layers. The coffee was poured from above, but it finally sank to the bottom of the glass, while the freshly boiled milk floated on top.

The creamy white color blends with the brown color, and finally it forms a gentle brown with soft light and shadow. After the two were deployed, even Lin Xiaoxiao's own face unconsciously leaked a satisfied smile.

This effect is completely consistent with what Lin Xiaoxiao expected. By the time the coffee and milk have fully blended, the process of making the frozen cream cubes is nearing completion.

At this point, although Lin Xiaoxiao's production is still a semi-finished product, the taste is no different from the final product. But of course, it is naturally impossible for Lin Xiaoxiao to hastily end the production process because the taste is roughly the same as the final product.

Compared with the final product, the taste of the semi-finished product is less layered, and it is not as heavy as it was later. To make a truly authentic taste, you need an ingredient.

Cinnamon powder, which is made from the dried skin and twigs of cinnamon or large leaf Qinghua cinnamon, has a four-flavor aromatic flavor and is often used in the baking of bread and other desserts. Cinnamon powder seems to have a magical power, naturally with a soft, aromatic and gentle flavor that people love. Therefore, it is very necessary to add cinnamon powder at the end of the frozen cream cube coffee.

Lin Xiaoxiao covered the original semi-finished product with a sieve, and then filtered the cinnamon powder through the sieve into the coffee cup. The filtered cinnamon powder is dense and thickly covered on the top layer of the coffee cup.

After a whole cup of frozen cream cube coffee was ready, Zhang Lang had already finished a few small stir-fry ordered by Jian Yining.

Lotus root, dry stir-fried beans, braised noodles...... After a few simple and convenient stir-fried dishes, Zhang Lang put all the dishes on the plate.

"It's done."

"Hmm." Lin Xiaoxiao picked up every bite of the dish and tasted it, then nodded. "The stewed noodles are much better than before, and the amount of various seasonings is much more accurate. But ......"

Lin Xiaoxiao glanced at Zhang Lang, and there was a look of encouragement in his eyes: "The dry fried beans still haven't mastered the heat, and they are too cooked, and they don't have the original taste of the beans." ”

In fact, compared to when Zhang Lang first came to the restaurant, his cooking skills have improved a lot, and even directly improved a few grades. Being able to make such great progress has a lot to do with Lin Xiaoxiao's unreserved experience all the time.

The Lin family has been a cook for generations, and basic skills such as the selection of various spices are simply innate. As the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Xiaoxiao is also like this.

Whether it's the combination of ingredients, the amount of seasoning, or just the heat, she has always been familiar with this kind of thing, and there has never been a similar mistake.

Since Zhang Lang came to work in the restaurant, Lin Xiaoxiao has been meticulous in everything, and has carefully tutored Zhang Lang in all aspects, so Zhang Lang's cooking skills have improved by leaps and bounds.

Zhang Lang has been in the restaurant for a while now, and from the perspective of cooking skills alone, there are already eight points of Lin Xiaoxiao's cooking skills.

It is said that the apprentices of the church starve to death the master. For Lin Xiaoxiao, she never seemed to worry about this problem, she just stood in the perspective of a fellow traveler and helped Zhang Lang in every detail.

After listening to Lin Xiaoxiao's opinion, Zhang Lang nodded sincerely: "The problem of heat is indeed a problem that my personal cooking skills are not superb enough, I admit this." But ......"

Zhang Lang's tone was a little hesitant: "I always have an inaccurate grasp of the heat, and I can't grasp the trick well." If you can......"

Zhang Lang's implication was already heard by Lin Xiaoxiao.

She nodded, "Okay." If you have time after work today, I can teach you a few more tips. ”

If you want to make a good dish, heat is a crucial point. Before, even Zhang Lang didn't expect that Lin Xiaoxiao would agree so readily.

"Thank you so much!" Zhang Lang nodded happily, his joy overflowing.
