A cup of aromatic coffee can not only keep you warm on a cool autumn day. There are also cold varieties of this drink. And the most common of them is glaze. We understand in detail what such a coffee drink is and how to prepare it correctly.

Glace is a cold drink on the basis of coffee with the addition of ice cream... Austria is considered to be its homeland, although the name is French, and in translation "glace" means "frozen" or "icy".

In Russian, you can find spelling variants of this name with one or two letters "c" in the middle, and both of them are considered correct.

As for the stress, it must be put on the last syllable, because in French it is he who is always stressed.

There is a story that the drink was invented by an enterprising bartender, from whom a visitor ordered a cappuccino. But the milk he needed at that time ran out in the coffee shop, and the barista decided to experiment, adding ice cream instead. But all this is nothing more than a beautiful story; exact data on the origin of the glaze have not survived to this day.

Outwardly, the glaze is easy to distinguish from other varieties of coffee - in a brownish-ocher liquid of the color of coffee with milk floating ice cream balls... The aroma of the drink combines the smell of the coffee itself and the nuances of the frozen dessert that was added to it.

For example, vanilla will give the glaze a gourmand sweetish tint, mint - a fresh greenish menthol, and so on.

There are only two ingredients for the original glaze - coffee and ice cream, taken in a ratio of 3 to 1. If you wish, you can add sugar, cinnamon, all kinds of syrups, grated chocolate, cocoa, caramel, milk, chopped nuts and anything else that can be enough fantasy.

Cooking procedure:

1. Make coffee in a coffee maker or a Turk: espresso or.
2. Strain the drink, add sugar if desired and leave to cool. It should be not just not hot, but even cool, otherwise the ice cream will melt too quickly. The optimum temperature is no more than 20⁰С, even less is better
3. Cut 1-2 balls from the pre-chilled ice cream and add them to the coffee.
4. Add syrup, grated chocolate, nuts or other ingredients as desired.

Freshly brewed ground coffee is ideal for glaze. But if it is not at hand, it is permissible to use both soluble powder and granular. But it is worth considering that a drink based on them will be much less tasty and aromatic.

The subtleties of cooking

There are several important points to pay attention to when preparing glaze:

1. Glace is not a drink that should be tart and bitter, so it is best prepared with medium roasted beans.
2. If you brew coffee in cezve, it will need to be filtered very well, otherwise there will be small particles in the finished glaze.
3. You can make coffee for glaze and in, or pourover, this will be a great option for recipes with different fruit notes.
4. Pour coffee along the side of the cup.
5. Traditionally for glaze the coffee is pre-cooled but some people prefer to put ice cream in hot coffee. This is not a very unambiguous option, but nothing prevents you from trying it - suddenly you will like it too.

Visual step-by-step instructions for making iced coffee at home for those who find it easier to perceive information on video.

How is this coffee served?

Glace is a beautiful drink, therefore it must be served in an aesthetic form. If there is an opportunity to additionally decorate it, do not neglect it.

Cup selection

For glaze, there are special transparent glasses made of glass with a handle and thick walls. They are also known as irish goblets. But if they are not available, then you can use wine glasses, cognac glasses and even ordinary clean glasses. Maybe it will not be aesthetically pleasing to the same extent, but in terms of convenience it will be approximately equivalent.

If not, you can pour the drink into ordinary small coffee cups by adjusting the portions of ice cream and the coffee itself downward.

Coffee is served when it has cooled to approximately room temperature. You can cool it a little harder, to about 10 ° C, by placing the cup in the freezer for a while.

How to drink properly?

If the ice cream was added to hot coffee, and not chilled, as recommended in the classic recipe, then the drink can be drunk immediately through a straw. In the case when the glaze is served not in standard transparent glasses, but in small coffee cups designed for espresso and cappuccino, they drink it directly from the cup, and take the ice cream with a spoon.

Variants of iced coffee with different fillings

There are many glaze recipes - and no one bothers to come up with their own new combinations of fillers, especially since the basic recipe is always approximately the same. The most popular glaze variations include:

• White glaze - 200 ml of strong coffee take the same amount of milk and 100 g of ice cream;
• "Paradise" - contains 1-2 tablespoons of whipped cream, the same amount of chocolate syrup and grated caramel;
• "Sunrise" - a lot of sugar and 4-5 egg yolks are added to the basic recipe;
• Alcoholic glaze - fruit liqueur and a few ice cubes are added to chilled coffee and ice cream;
• Banana - brewed coffee is whipped in a mixer until smooth with one ripe banana, then ice cream and various sprinkles are added to taste.

Benefit and harm

In general, the effect of glaze on health depends on which fillers and additional ingredients have been chosen. But the principle is the same as for most types of coffee - if you do not lean on the drink too much, it will invigorate and fill the body with useful substances and microelements.

With frequent use in large quantities, it only will lead to weight gain and heart problems. Glaze, due to the fact that it is often served chilled, can also be harmful to the teeth.

Calorie content

Since glace is a dessert drink, its calorie content is quite high. But due to the fact that there are so many different recipes, it is difficult to calculate the exact calorie content. Here are some of the more traditional examples:

1. Classic glace with syrup and ice cream, but without sugar, has a caloric value of about 110 kcal.
2. Egg yolk coffee has a caloric content of about 250 kcal.
3. Alcoholic glaze has a caloric content of 120 kcal.
4. Sprinkling with nuts and chocolate adds an extra 50 kcal to the drink, and each spoonful of sugar adds 20 kcal.

Can pregnant women and children glaze?

Coffee for pregnant women is harmful, especially with frequent use. In particular, caffeine contributes to vasoconstriction of the placenta, which leads to oxygen starvation of the fetus. Naturally, one cup or even a couple of cups a month will not be a big deal, but you should forget about drinking coffee regularly.

Although, on the other hand, the components included in the ice partially neutralize the effect of caffeine, so if you drink any coffee in this position at all, then that is.

glace is a great alternative to other types of coffee in hot weather, because it is prepared on the basis of chilled espresso and ice cream. There are many variations of such a drink with different additives, so it is not difficult to choose a type of glaze to your taste. But you should pay attention - this coffee is very high-calorie.

Traditional recipe for glaze with a photo

In order to brew the glaze, you need to choose natural grain coffee. Prepare it in a Turk or in a coffee machine, and if there is neither one nor the other, just in a cup. Instant coffee can be used, but the taste and aroma will not be the same. Therefore, in order to get a delicious aromatic glaze, we advise you to take the product in grains.

Cream can be bought ready-made in cans, but it is better if you buy and prepare it yourself. In order to get a real glaze, send the cream with a fat content of at least 30%, a whisk and a container in which you will whip them in the refrigerator for two hours so that everything is at the same temperature. Now you can start whipping the cream, if you had a lot of them, then the remaining cream can be kept in the refrigerator for two more days. To make a delicious dessert, you will need:

• Brewed coffee - one cup;
• Sundae - one portion;
• Cream - two large spoons;
• Chocolate syrup - two large spoons.

First, place the ice cream in a glass or cup and pour over the syrup. Now gently pour the finished coffee drink into the cup. If you are preparing ice in the summer, you can use chilled coffee, then you will get a cold refreshing dessert. Then use a spoon to place the cream on top. The finished drink is properly drunk through a straw or served with an ice cream spoon. Iced coffee in the photo is shown below.

For such an unusual drink, you will need the following ingredients:

• Freshly ground coffee beans - two spoons;

• Cream;
• Sugar.

Prepare coffee and cool it, add sugar. Cut the banana into small pieces and add coffee to it. Beat the whole mass until smooth. Then add the ice cream and beat for a couple of minutes. The banana coffee dessert is ready.

With alcohol

To say that such a drink is low in calories would be wrong, because it contains alcohol. According to this recipe, you do not need to add ice cream, since we will add ice cubes.

• One hundred milliliters of fresh natural grain coffee;
• Twenty milliliters of liquor;
• Several ice cubes.

Boil and cool a coffee drink, first put ice in a glass. Next, pour in the liquor and coffee drink. Such an easy-to-prepare glaze is ready. It's nice to sit with a glass of this glaze with friends in a cafe. Men especially love to use it to cheer up. You can see a photo of the drink below.

With chocolate

The taste of the drink will depend on what kind of coffee you are preparing and what kind of ice cream you buy. It is better to drink it right away, because when the glaze stands, its taste will no longer be the same. So, you will need:

• One cup of brewed and cooled espresso
• Ice cream to your taste;
• Sugar to taste;
• A piece of chocolate and cinnamon.

Brew a coffee drink in a Turk. Grind the beans before brewing to keep them fresh. Choose a smaller grind, then the drink will be very aromatic. Cool the brewed espresso. Put the ice cream in a glass or other container. Pour the coffee gently and grate the chocolate for decoration, you can also sprinkle with cinnamon. In the cafe, glace is served in beautiful tall glasses decorated with cherries.

With instant coffee

• One teaspoon of instant coffee;

Pour water over the coffee product and cool it down. Put ice cream into a glass and slowly pour in a small stream of cold coffee. This will mix the two layers evenly and it will be delicious. Decorate the dessert by sprinkling with grated chocolate.

Iced coffee is an ideal drink on hot summer days, but even in winter, lovers of this cocktail do not deny themselves the pleasure of enjoying its delicate taste. How to make a coffee drink at home, what unusual recipes exist and what is its calorie content, we describe below.

Iced coffee - what is it?

Glace (French - glace) is a word borrowed from the French language that means something frozen, chilled. This coffee drink is black coffee combined with a serving of ice cream. The recipe for making iced coffee is simple, although it has a couple of nuances.

Before proceeding directly to the methods of preparing a drink, let's figure out how to write "glace" or "glace" correctly. Glace is a word of French origin, there is no double "s" in the original language, therefore, it should not be in Russian either. At the same time, the norms of the Russian language allow writing both "glace" and "glace".

Iced coffee composition

Iced coffee is one of the options for cooling cocktails. Ice cream must be used in its composition, and the drink must be cooled before putting a scoop of ice cream.

The main components of the glaze:

1. coffee - it must be natural, medium or strong roast from Arabica varieties;
2. ice cream - it is recommended to choose ice cream or butter. Flavored ice cream can overpower the coffee aroma;
3. syrup and other additives are used to taste;

Iced coffee recipes

Preparing a French drink will require a careful approach to the selection of coffee beans, ice cream and adherence to precise proportions.

A classic drink with ice cream is made from natural coffee, depending on the preferred strength of the drink, they choose espresso or Americano. It can also be prepared on the basis of instant coffee, but the aroma and taste will be inferior to a drink made from natural coffee beans. For a rich, sophisticated taste, it is best to choose finely ground medium to hard roasted arabica beans.

• brewed coffee - 100 ml;
• ice cream - about 30 grams;
• syrup or sugar - 2 teaspoons;
• grated chocolate;

How to cook:

• Take natural coffee and brew a double espresso or Americano;
• cool the drink. If you brew coffee in a Turk, strain the coffee through a sieve to avoid small particles entering;
• pour the syrup to the bottom, then the chilled coffee;
• top with ice cream in a 3: 1 ratio. For example, if you cooked 120 ml of Americano, then add 40 grams of ice cream;
• as a decoration, you can rub chocolate or sprinkle with cinnamon - the drink is ready;

If you replace natural instant coffee with an unnatural analogue, you will hardly be able to get a rich aroma.

Glazed white coffee is a popular drink. Its taste is softer and softer in comparison with other recipes.

For cooking you will need:

• freshly brewed strong coffee - 200 ml;
• creamy ice cream or ice cream - about 30 gr;

• cool it down and then mix with milk in proportions of 1 to 1. Milk must be cold and medium fat (2.5-3%);
• pour coffee into a cup and put ice cream on top;
• sprinkle with grated chocolate and cinnamon.

This drink is ideal for drinking in hot summer. You can experiment and add ice cream with different flavors, for example, one scoop of vanilla, the other chocolate.

Iced coffee is good because everyone can make it and add something of their own to the cocktail. You can play with the proportions of the ingredients of the drink, changing the taste towards more or less astringency. Glazed recipes abound in all sorts of combinations of ice cream, cream, milk and coffee.

An interesting cocktail is obtained in a combination of whipped cream and ice cream, with the addition of chocolate syrup.

How latte differs from glace

Latte and glace coffee cocktails are in many ways similar: they have a milder taste than standard coffee, contain milk in their recipe (in some glaze preparation options), and are similar in serving the drink. Still, these are two different cocktails, differing both in the method of preparation and the components that make up them.

Latte is prepared on the basis of double espresso and frothed milk in proportions of 1 to 3. The milk is whipped until a thick dense foam is formed using the cappuccinatore built into the coffee machine. You can read how to make a latte without a coffee machine.

Glace is coffee based on double espresso or Americano and ice cream in a combination of 3 to 1. That is, there is no milk in the traditional recipe for glaze. Ice cream replaces it. There are different ways to prepare glazes in which a small amount of milk is added to the coffee along with a scoop of ice cream.

Caloric content of glace

It should be understood that since the product contains ice cream, then, accordingly, its calorie content will be high. One standard serving of glaze contains about 150 kcal. At the same time, adding additional ingredients to coffee in the form of syrups, whipped cream, another serving of ice cream, you increase the calorie content of the finished drink, which can reach 450 kcal.

How to drink glaze

It is correct to drink glace chilled. To serve a French cocktail, tall glass goblets are used, in which both lattes and irish glasses are served. Be sure to put the glass on a saucer and put a teaspoon and a straw to it.

According to the rules, coffee dessert is not stirred, but the top layer is eaten with a spoon, and then coffee is drunk through a straw.

Iced coffee has a low strength, therefore it is well suited for the afternoon and is consumed after a meal, sometimes instead of dessert.

Glase is a delicate coffee drink with a refined aroma. By improvising with additives and proportions, you can get the perfect flavor that's right for you.

Visually, the drink resembles a latte or Viennese coffee, but, unlike them, it is served exclusively cold. In coffee shops, for greater showiness, it is poured into glass cups, glasses or tall glasses with legs, often with a cocktail cherry on top. You can also make a drink at home.

The classic glazed coffee recipe includes an espresso made from natural beans and a few scoops of ice cream. Naturally, like any other popular drink, there are all sorts of variations with the addition of liqueur, egg yolk, whipped cream and spices. Today I will make a glaze with creamy ice cream. A recipe with a photo will help you easily recreate the popular coffee "cocktail" with ice cream in your kitchen. But keep in mind that many factors affect the final taste: the type of grain you use, as well as its degree of roasting and grinding, you cook with or without sugar, what kind of ice cream you add. Even the time that a ready-made glazed coffee will stand waiting for a sample will directly affect its taste. Therefore, do not be surprised if every time you get a slightly different drink, feel free to experiment with additives and surprise your guests with new tastes!

Preparation

Big photos Small photos

Cooking begins by first grinding the coffee beans into a powder. It is better, of course, to do it yourself, rather than buying a finished product, then the taste and aroma of the drink will be more intense. If this is not possible, then choose the finest grind of coffee, preferably Arabica.



I put 3 teaspoons of freshly ground coffee in a Turk - for two servings. Usually calculated like this: 1 teaspoon for each cup, plus 1 extra spoon for strength. If the Turks are not there, you can brew an espresso in any way you can, for example, in a coffee maker or in a French press. Just do not use instant coffee, the taste will be completely different!



For flavor, I add a pinch of ground cinnamon. Immediately put sugar in - here focus exclusively on your taste, but do not forget that ice cream will also be used. If you add 1 teaspoon, the coffee will be slightly sweet.



I pour cold water into the Turk - drinking water, preferably spring or purified water, because the taste of the water will directly affect the quality of the coffee drink. Stir thoroughly with a spoon and put the container on the stove. I set up the smallest fire. As soon as the foam starts to rise, I immediately remove the Turk from the stove, not allowing the drink to boil. After a minute, I return the turk to the burner, to the minimum heat and repeat the procedure, thus the taste and aroma of the coffee bean will be revealed to the maximum extent.



I completely cool the drink in a Turk (the longer it is infused, the stronger the coffee will turn out, you can put it in the refrigerator). Then I filter it through a fine sieve to remove all the sediment, and pour it into cups or portioned glasses.



On top of a slide in each container I spread a portion of ice cream - 3-4 balls per cup. Vanilla or creamy ice cream, creme brulee, or ice cream with condensed milk will do. It is very important to use a quality product that is free of palm oil.



For decoration, grated chocolate, ground cinnamon or cocoa powder are traditionally used, a very tasty combination with crushed nuts, slightly dried in a dry frying pan. You can serve the drink in cups or glasses, with teaspoons or with cocktail tubes.

That's all, our homemade iced coffee is ready. The dessert drink is delicious, creamy, delicate and cool. Enjoy your coffee!

The berries of the coffee tree have presented the world with an invigorating and tasty drink that cannot be confused in aroma and strength with any other drink - this is a great coffee that lifts us up in the morning and gives us incredible pleasure.

But coffee does not always have to be hot and strong. Sometimes, in the heat of summer, we want something cool, refreshing and exciting our taste buds. This is exactly the kind of drink that is iced coffee. The iced coffee recipe is the perfect combination of delicious coffee, ice cream and chocolate... At the same time, many believe that such a drink can rightfully be called a dessert, since it is quite hearty and satisfying for an ordinary drink.

In translation from French coffee, glaze can be translated as frozen or ice. There are also other names that are not considered a mistake - these are glide and glace. In the first case, the name means sliding, which is not surprising, because coffee contains ice cream that literally slides and melts on the walls of the glass in which the drink is served.

It is believed that such a recipe for a coffee drink was created in France, although some experts claim that its birthplace is Austria. At the same time, the Austrians did not really like this recipe, and the drink did not take root at all in the country, but the French happily took over the baton of making glaze and popularized such coffee all over the world.

For those who are losing weight and striving to maintain their figure, there is not very good news - glace is a rather high-calorie drink... Only 100 ml of glaze contains 153 kcal. When yolks are added to coffee, the drink becomes even more nutritious - 375 kcal. And if you want to freshen up and cheer up a little during the summer period, then it is better to choose a cold coffee drink that does not contain dairy products and, moreover, ice cream.

But if you are satisfied with your figure and do not want to deny yourself small weaknesses, then you can indulge in a delicious and aromatic glaze. His classic recipe does not include other ingredients besides the above components, and crushed ice is also added to it.

A more complicated recipe is a glaze with egg yolk added. To prepare it, you need to take two fresh yolks, which are ground white with three tablespoons of sugar. This mixture is added to chilled coffee, after which the whole thing is heated in a water bath. Heating time is about 10-15 minutes.

Do not forget to stir the drink during preparation, and its readiness can be determined by the appearance of a characteristic foam. After that, the drink is removed from the stove, cooled and only then poured into special glasses. Such an obligatory ingredient as ice cream should also not be forgotten in this recipe; coffee is also decorated with grated chocolate and sprinkled with a pinch of cinnamon.

Ice Cream Ice Cream is not the only summer variation. In the evening, when we can afford to completely relax, we can use liqueur instead of ice cream. For this, chilled coffee is poured into the glass only 3/4, and then a little ice is added there. The remaining volume is filled with liquor. It is better if it is a chocolate liqueur, amaretto or another alcoholic drink of similar taste.

There is also a recipe for the so-called white glaze, which is very similar to latte in its taste. For its preparation, not pure coffee is used, but with the addition of warm milk. When the mixture is cooked, it is cooled, and only then the traditional ice cream is added.

To make such a delicious and nutritious dessert drink, you need to consider the quality of the original ingredients. First of all, it is worth considering the quality of the coffee used. Naturally, coffee should be natural, not instant... In addition, you should not use only arabica for making glaze - it will be difficult to get a rich and aromatic drink. It is better to take Arabica and Robusta in proportions convenient for you..

Ice cream greatly affects the taste of the drink. It must be natural. That is why in good coffee houses the taste of glace is very different from the drink prepared in an ordinary cafe. The obligatory ingredients of such ice cream should be cream, whole milk and butter. You can tell the taste of a good ice cream from a low-quality one by taste.

It is worth noting that the recipe for iced coffee at home and in a coffee shop may include more than just liqueur. Quite often, cognac or brandy is added to such a drink. In this case, the coffee dessert opens from a completely new side, it becomes more intense and complex in taste and aroma.

With the help of cinnamon or vanilla, you can also completely change the taste of coffee - it can become both brighter and softer and more delicate. It all depends only on the preferences of the one who loves this wonderful drink. Interesting and unusual ingredients such as caramel chips, cocoa, nuts, chocolate syrup and even candy crumbs are often used as a filler for the glaze.

Naturally, connoisseurs of various coffee drinks may have a question about how to drink iced coffee. First of all, you need to take care of the presence of a transparent glass with thick walls, which has a conical shape. Moreover, the volume of such a glass should be about 250 ml. The glass is not placed on the table, but on a saucer covered with a paper napkin.

There must be two things on the saucer or plate - a spoon so that you can eat ice cream, and two straws for the drink itself. If you are preparing such a dessert at home, then take care of immediate serving. Otherwise, the ice cream will have time to melt and the guests will not have time to enjoy your masterpiece.

For self-preparation of glaze, you must first prepare a strong espresso. It can be prepared both in a Turk and in a coffee machine. Be sure to use only a mixture of Arabica and Robusta, the optimal ratio of which is 3 \ 1, but you can take as much coffee of each type as you see fit.

The resulting drink is cooled with a few pieces of ice, after which it must be filtered into a glass goblet. The optimal volume is about half of the glass. Now a scoop of ice cream is gently lowered and sprinkled with grated chocolate. Once you're on your way from the basic recipes, you can start experimenting and start using a wide variety of ingredients to your liking and preference. Just do not forget that this is still a dessert and an invigorating drink, so you don't need to overdo it with alcoholic components.
