4 Steps To Make Raf Coffee At Home
Making Raf coffee at home is simple. You'll only need a few ingredients and the right technique. So here's what you should do:
Equipment
- Espresso machine or coffee maker To brew a strong shot of espresso.
- Milk frother or Steam Wand: For heating and frothing the ingredients together.
- Optional flavorings: A splash of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or your favorite flavored syrup for customization.
Ingredients
- Espresso: 1 shot to create a bold and rich coffee base.
- Heavy cream: 100–120 ml for the signature silky texture.
- Sugar or vanilla sugar: 1–2 teaspoons for sweetness. Vanilla sugar adds an aromatic twist.
- Optional flavorings: A splash of vanilla extract, cinnamon, or your favorite flavored syrup for customization.
Instructions
- Brew the espresso: Use your espresso machine, moka pot, or another preferred method to prepare one shot of espresso. Aim for a bold flavor, as it will balance the richness of the cream.
- Combine the ingredients: In a steaming pitcher or frother, pour your espresso, heavy cream, and sugar. If you’re using vanilla sugar or an optional flavor, add it here for an even mix.
- Steam the mixture: Using your steam wand or milk frother, heat and froth the mixture until it becomes creamy and slightly airy. Be careful not to overheat it—keep the temperature just under 150°F (65°C) to prevent the cream from curdling.
- Serve and enjoy: Pour the frothy mixture into a heat-resistant mug or cup. For an extra touch, garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even a vanilla bean if you’re feeling fancy. Serve immediately while it’s warm and inviting.
