Unique Ways to Enjoy Green Coffee

3 min

The coffee has a long journey before it is finally ready for you to enjoy. After being picked, the coffee cherries will go through a processing stage to release the coffee beans. Coffee beans at this stage are called green coffee because of their green color.

Usually, to produce the black color of coffee beans that you have come to know, the coffee beans need to be roasted first. However, there are also some people who process it directly into a drink without roasting it first.

This method will certainly create a unique taste and a different way of drinking from drinking black coffee in general. So, how to make a delicious cup of green coffee? Here are some of them!

Grinding and Extracting Green Coffee

 

 

Before discussing other more complex methods, you need to grind green coffee first. By doing this, you are free to choose between using a manual or automatic grinder. What is clear is to make sure the green coffee can be processed and turned into powder.

When the green coffee powder is ready, place it in a cup and pour hot water into it. Before enjoying it, wait a moment until the green coffee extract becomes warmer.

 

When it's ready, you will see a cup of coffee that is different from ordinary coffee. Even at first glance, this coffee extract actually looks more like tea. Likewise, the taste is softer.

 

 

Extracting Without Grinding the Coffee

 

This way of drinking green coffee will be useful for those of you who don't have a grinder. The reason is that you only need to soak the coffee beans! Unfortunately, this means that the extraction time will be longer, usually it will take overnight.

 

Once finished soaking, transfer the coffee beans and the water used to soak them into a saucepan. After that, stir until the coffee extract boils, then wait a moment. When it's ready, slowly transfer it into a cup. If necessary, also use a filter to make it easier to separate the coffee beans from the water.

 

 

Adding Honey or Cinnamon to Coffee Extract

 

By doing this, you can make the green coffee extract have a touch of sweet taste. Honey and cinnamon have a naturally sweet taste with a fairly soft texture and can combine with the softness of your green coffee extract. But if you want to add cinnamon, make sure you only add grated, powdered, or extracted cinnamon.

 

 

Mix it with Lemon Juice, Mint Leaves, or Ginger Water

 

As explained previously, green coffee has a soft taste similar to tea. You can also add other ingredients that have a sharp taste and aroma, such as sour lemon juice, cool mint leaves, or spicy ginger water.

 

 

Drink it with Black Coffee

 

You can also mix it with black coffee when drinking green coffee. In fact, you could say that the combination of bold black coffee and soft green coffee will create balance, both in taste and aroma.

 

But if you want a practical way to drink green coffee mixed with black coffee, you can use NESCAFÉ Green Blend. This product is an innovation that combines black coffee, green coffee extract, sugar, and creamer in one package. Just by mixing it with hot water, a cup of green coffee is ready to be enjoyed.

 

So, those are some ways to drink green coffee that you can try. Basically, green coffee requires an extraction process before it can be drunk directly. Then, because the extract tastes soft and delicious, it doesn't tend to have a strong taste, you can add other ingredients to make the taste of the green coffee extract richer. Go give it a try!
