The post Have You Tried Cortado Coffee? appeared first on foodisinthehouse.com.
]]>Don’t be surprised if you see a large drink also called cortado—it’s not a mistake, it’s just a double cortado with two shots of espresso and two ounces of steamed milk. Cortado comes from Spain, although most espresso-based drinks have Italian heritage.
To make cortado, you’ll need a milk steamer and some kind of an espresso machine (a French press will do the trick if you don’t have a real machine). If you’re not equipped to make it at home, visit the nearest coffee shop and ask for a cortado. Chances are the barista is going to be surprised, but they will make you a drink likely to become your new favorite.
At the very least, you’ll expand your coffee knowledge and get to brag to your friends about it!

Home Barista (@soomins_table)Croiffle is basically a waffle made from a croissant. You take a croissant and cook it in a waffle maker—and you’re done! It’s perfect for when you want to try something new and fun, when you have guests over, or when you want to make an easy treat for your kids.
The easiest way to make croiffles is to buy frozen croissants but instead of baking them in the oven, thaw them, sprinkle with a little sugar, and cook on in the waffle maker on medium temperature. You want them crispy on the outside but soft in the middle. Serve with a scoop of ice cream and your favorite toppings like fruit, caramel sauce, etc.

]]>Bacanora
Bacanora, a spirit named after the town of Bacanora, has a rich history but is not as popular as tequila. People started becoming interested in it recently and it’s probably going to be a hit. It’s made from one variety of agave that grows in the mountains in its home region of Sonora.
Mezcal
Mezcal is a name for all agave-based alcohol drinks but also a specific type of liquor. Tequila is one type of mezcal, and the aforementioned bacanora is another. Mexcal (the variety) can be made in only nine Mexican states: Oaxaca, Michoacán, Durango, Puebla, and many more. Most often, it’s made from espadin agave, but it can use other varieties too.
Sotol
Sotol is one of the Mexican spirits that aren’t made from agave, but from the sotol plant, also known as a desert spoon. This aromatic drink can be enjoyed neat or in a cocktail, but it’s less sweet than agave drinks. It’s a popular ingredient of craft cocktails and provides an amazing, smoky note.

]]>Aloe Vera
Keep aloe vera in the kitchen in case of a sudden burn—its juice is a perfect remedy. It enjoys bright light, so make sure to position it next to the window and let it dry between waterings. To use its healing properties, just take a leaf and squeeze its gel directly on the skin.
Lavender
There’s nothing more charming than a pot of lavender in a rustic kitchen—it will make the whole place more relaxing. It gets bonus points for repelling bugs; flies, moths, and mosquitos will stay away from your kitchen. It will help you look forward to the time spent in the kitchen.
Herbs
Is there anything better than adding fresh herbs to a recipe? You can keep them on hand at all times by planting them in pots and keeping them near the stove. Place basil and rosemary by the window but keep parsley, mint, and chives in the shade.

]]>Chili Powder
Not to be mixed with chile powder, which is just some dried and crushed chilies, chili powder is a mix of cayenne, paprika, chipotle powder, cumin, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, and salt. It’s popular in Mexico and Texas and often used in meat dishes like chili con carne, a popular meat stew.
Herbes de Provence
The spice mix that comes from Provence, France, must be magical, despite its plain name. It was one of Julia Child’s favorites and she’s guilty of popularizing it around the world. It consists of oregano, bay leaf, tarragon, thyme, marjoram, savory, rosemary, and basil.
Pumpkin Pie Spice
The pumpkin pie spice started as a spice mix to put in a pumpkin pie, but it has evolved a lot since then. It’s now a popular piece mix for various desserts and drinks, and it’s made of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, and allspice.

]]>Wrong Salt
Salt is the primary seasoning we use for steak, and just salt can absolutely be enough. It seems like it’s hard to go wrong with salt, but the type you choose can make a big difference. Stay away from regular, super fine table salt and get some kosher salt with thicker flakes.
Seasoning Timing
You can find different recommendations when it comes to the timing of seasoning your stake. Some claim you should do it just before cooking, others believe the seasoned steak should sit in the fridge for a whole day before cooking, while some believe 40 minutes are enough. Whatever you do, avoid letting the steak warm up to room temperature before you season it. Do it while it’s cold.
Not Drying Steak
There’s an important part of prepping steak for cooking that many sadly skip. It involves taking a paper towel and patting the meat dry before seasoning it. This will allow it to form a delicious crust while cooking.
