The Only 2 Ingredients You Need For A Southern Italian Coffee Drink
BY Anna Staropoli
One coffee drink reigns supreme in Southern Italy's Puglia region: the Caffe' Leccese. It generally consists of just two key ingredients: Italian espresso and almond milk syrup.
Unlike a standard espresso or cappuccino, a Caffe' Leccese is served on ice — a rarity in Italy. Caffe' Leccese is not only unique, it's also delicious.
It consists of an espresso base with a hint of sweetened almond milk or almond milk syrup. This straightforward ingredient list creates a clear roadmap for replication.
Simply pour your espresso over your ice cubes and almond addition. You generally want to balance the ingredients in a 2:1 ratio between espresso and almond syrup.
