A Bonus Recipe
This coffee recipe comes from Australia, where a growing number of superfood cafés are serving up the winning combination of beetroot and coffee.
Ingredients
1 latte macchiato
100 g cooked and peeled beetroot
1 generous pinch ginger
1 tsp honey
Preparation
Put the beetroot in a tall receptacle and purée it. Then press the puréed beetroot through a sieve to avoid any solid pieces ending up in the drink. Put 2 teaspoons of the beetroot purée, the honey and the ground ginger in a latte macchiato glass. Place the glass directly under the dual spout and prepare a latte macchiato.
