Red Velvet Coffee

Coffee creations are the hype for a couple of years now. We all stumbled upon the South Korean Dalgona coffee magic.

I found something different in a small leaflet that is sponsored by ALDI.
4 different coffees made 2 pages there. One example was the red velvet coffee.

I was out Saturday to get my groceries. I needed red beet juice. Usually packed in 500 ml tetra packs. But not available. Since practicing social distancing, I did not drive to an other supermarket. I bought deep red grape juice instead.

If you are going to replicate the recipe, hunt down red beet juice. It is known for its good coloring features. My grape juice was less strong giving up color.

Recipe for one 250 ml glass:

Hot strong black coffee.
100 ml hot milk
2 tbsp red beet juice
1 tbsp instant chocolate powder
1 tsp vanilla sugar
Pinch of cinnamon

Foam up the hot milk.
Choose a nice glass and mix beet juice, choc and vanilla sugar together in it.
Pour the hot coffee over the mix and stir well.
Add the milk and foam.
Sprinkle a bit of cinnamon on top.
