Sometimes we make much more coffee than we intended. Or maybe things came up, and we left our brew unattended and left to get cold. This doesn’t mean coffee is gone to waste, reusing it is always the best alternative. Once you know what to do with your extra brewed coffee, a little too much coffee can become a delicious or useful blessing.
That Coffee Roasters suggests measuring your coffee with care before brewing it if you don’t want to have an extra and cold coffee. But in the case it happens, we offer you some alternatives for it. There’s no excuse for waste.
Some alternatives for making the most out of the leftover coffee
There are plenty of recipes that need coffee in their preparation, leftover coffee is a great way to use it for your desserts or even some meals. Let’s review some.
In past articles, we’ve explored some traditional recipes that call for coffee like tiramisu or coffee soaked ladyfingers layered with whipped custard and cocoa powder, but a dash of creativity can take you to new culinary levels.
Cooking with the leftover coffee: think about it, extra coffee is essentially coffee-flavored water. You can use leftover coffee in your steak marinade, for example. If you make a fruit compote, try using your brew instead of water for the perfect breakfast topping. If you really want to be efficient and have a 2-in-1 breakfast, you could even cook your morning oatmeal in coffee instead of regular water, you put your own limits!
The leftover coffee can also add an extra touch of acidity to most recipes. Experiment with vinaigrettes by changing the vinegar for coffee. Create your own caffeinated barbeque sauce or chili.
Using coffee as a water substitute for baking: similar to cooking, just change water for coffee in a baking recipe. This might work for a cake or brownie mix for a rich and delicious treat.
Coffee doesn’t go bad immediately, you can put your coffee in the fridge and save it for baking later. Just don’t let it sit longer than a couple days, you don’t want to bite into a cake and discover old coffee flavor.
Making coffee ice cubes and smoothies: iced coffee can get messy and watered down before you can drink it all. Coffee ice cubes can improve that. Just add your leftover coffee into an ice cube tray and let it freeze overnight. That way your iced coffee stays cold and undiluted for a longer time.
Now, take coffee ice cubes to the next level by making a coffee smoothie. Sounds great, huh? And it's so simple! You just have to blend coffee ice cubes, some fruit like bananas, and a cup of milk (or even yogurt) together to get a cool caffeinated drink. You can also change the bananas for cocoa powder, cinnamon, or vanilla for a flavor boost.
