This week on Three Kitchens Podcast, Erin brings us flavours of Mexico with Café de Olla and Churros!
Café de Olla is a Mexican coffee that is sweet and full of spiced flavour. We learned that it originated in Mexico around the turn of the last century and was served during the Mexican Revolution.
It's flavours and history last to this day and it's a delicious, sweet treat that varies from household to household. Heather shares with us her story of drinking this hot drink after a day of playing in the water and how she was never quite able to re-create the experience at home. Erin's found the recipe and now Heather can't wait to try it out.
What pairs perfectly with a cup of coffee? A crispy, sugar-coated churro of course! If you've followed us for a little while, you'll know how much we really dislike deep frying food at home. Erin found a recipe for a baked churro which is similar to that of a choux pastry - but will it deliver the same crispy, chewy texture that she's looking for? We are happy to report back: yes! It even tasted deep fried and held up to being dipped into your cup of coffee.
These two recipes are quick and easy to make with ingredients easily found at your local grocery store. Tune in for a treat!
