JAKARTA - Coffee shop style coffee is on the rise. In the beginning, at the end of 2017 there was a contemporary coffee shop that was visited by President Joko WIdodo. From there, the current coffee has become a lot of enthusiasts. Several people took part in the business opportunity and it turned out to be in demand.

Often people who buy contemporary coffee because the price is cheaper than coffee sold in cafes. Usually, they use food delivery applications via their cell phones. But, you know what? It turns out that we can make contemporary style coffee by ourselves at home.

First, prepare ingredients such as coffee, palm sugar, fresh milk, evaporated milk or liquid water creamer, and ice cubes. For one modern cup of coffee, it takes 15 grams of packaged coffee without pulp. It must be pure coffee, without any mixture.

This coffee-making cannot only be brewed with hot water. Given, the coffee used is with espresso processing. Espresso is an extract of coffee beans that is usually ground using a high pressure machine and hot water.

Then, boil the coffee using water with a ratio of 2: 1 until it boils. If the coffee is 15 grams, that means 30 milliliters of water is needed. This method can keep the aroma of coffee intact. Since there is no coffee machine at home, that's the reason coffee has to be boiled.

Next, prepare 5 grams of palm sugar that has been melted with 5 milliliters of water. The key to contemporary coffee milk is palm sugar. So, this sweetener cannot be replaced with sugar.

Then, prepare a glass filled with ice cubes. Pour 200 milliliters of fresh milk, melted palm sugar, and 20 milliliters of evaporated milk.

Evaporated milk cannot be replaced with sweetened condensed milk because of its different types. Evaporated milk is cow's milk which 60 percent of its water content is removed from fresh milk.

The final step, mix the coffee that has been boiled into a glass. Today's sweet, creamy, and not too bitter milk is ready to be enjoyed.
