Christmas coffee: Which coffee?
Special Christmas coffees are available on the market, and they frequently have a fine caramel, gingerbread, or chocolate aroma. However, you can use your regular coffee or instant coffee for the Christmas coffee recipe.
What goes well with Christmas coffee?
First and foremost, there are the delectable cookies and Christmas cookies: vanilla crescents, spritz cookies, and the irresistible cinnamon stars. Classic cakes, such as marble cake or spice cake, are also available.
Is there alcohol in Amaretto?
Yes! Amaretto is an Italian liqueur made from the kernels of almonds or apricots. The flavor is similar to marzipan, and the liqueur is commonly consumed as a "shot" in mulled wine. A non-alcoholic version of Christmas coffee with amaretto syrup is available.
What else tastes good with Amaretto?
Many people are probably familiar with amaretto from tiramisu, a delicious Italian dessert. The liqueur goes well with hot drinks like mulled wine, cocoa, or coffee. Amaretto, on the other hand, can be used to refine more than just drinks: it adds a particularly delicious touch to jam.
