焦糖玛奇朵是一种在香浓热牛奶上加入意式浓缩咖啡(Espresso)、香草,最后淋上纯正焦糖而制成的饮品,特点是在一杯饮品里可以喝到三种不同的口味。(不先搅拌)
“Macchiato”是意大利文,意思是“烙印”,中文音译成“玛奇朵”。“Caramel”就是焦糖的意思。焦糖玛琪朵就是加了焦糖的Macchiato,代表“甜蜜的印记”。(Caramel虽然KK音标示要念成"亏了某",但我在德州都听店员念成"咖啦妹喔")
喝
焦糖玛奇朵不可先搅拌,首先是覆盖在上头如同牛奶糖般甜甜的焦糖酱,再来是混合香草糖浆香甜的牛奶,最后一层是口味浓郁的义式咖啡。这样一口便可以喝到浓稠的焦糖香甜、香草芬芳的牛奶以及淡苦回甘的浓缩咖啡。(其实恁伯还是喜欢搅匀了才够味啊,甜甜的咖啡才好喝!) 另外选用焦糖酱的原因是它较浓稠,不会在奶泡上散开,以达到层次分明不易混和的特性。
焦糖玛奇朵比起那提跟卡布奇若的牛奶比例较少,适合喜欢重咖啡口味的人。
相较于拿铁(Latte)是使用1/3的Espresso和2/3的蒸热鲜奶(一般无奶泡),Macchiato则是使用1/2份或更少一些的Espresso。
Caramel Macchiato据说是由Starbucks来发扬光大,由鲜奶、Espresso、香草糖浆、焦糖酱组成,以下有传说中的制作方式:(中文是我乱翻的,有错请指正^^)
1. Fill the metal pitcher 3/5 of the way full with milk. (铁壶中放3/5的牛奶)
2. Place thermometer securely inside of the pitcher. (放入温度计)
3. Steam milk to 150 degrees. Temperature will raise an additional 5 degrees as it sits. (蒸热牛奶至150℃)
4. The steam wand should be inserted diagonally just below the surface of the milk. This will create "froth" or foam necessary for a good Caramel Macchiato. (加热棒需斜放,刚好低于牛奶表面,有助于产生焦糖玛奇朵所需要的泡沫)
5. Tamp the ground espresso into the head and lock it into position on the espresso machine. (将研磨好的Espresso放入咖啡机顶端并盖好)
6. Pouring shots is an art form, but this drink is… flavored: However, a perfect shot has a fluid heart, minimum body and a small helping of cream or foam on its surface. A "perfect shot" is pulled inside of 15-20 seconds. (注入过程是影响风味的一门艺术!最好的注入时间控制是15——20秒)
7. Grab your glass! You'll need to pour 1 ounce, or equivalent to 2 pumps on normal flavor pumps for every 8 ounces, in this case we're making a sixteen ounce drink so 2 ounces of flavor are needed or 4 pumps. (拿好玻璃杯,每8oz的玛其朵需要倒入1oz的咖啡,所以一杯16oz的玛其朵需要2oz的咖啡)
8. Pour your steamed milked over the the flavoring leaving 2 inches for froth at the top. (倒入热牛奶,留下离杯口2吋空间给泡沫)
9. Scoop froth over your milk until you're 1 inch from the rim. (打出奶泡直到离杯缘1吋)
10. Pour your shots over the froth. (从泡沫上注入你的咖啡)
11. Making a zig zag or artsy patterns of your choice, drizzle caramel syrup over the froth, and… BWAM! You're done. (发挥你的艺术天份,在泡沫上淋上焦糖酱,Starbucks是画成交叉网状)
12. Time to drink! Yum, what a recipe! (依食谱完成,可以细细品尝啰!)
