If you like nutty coffee, you don't have to buy syrup or order coffee beans with flavoring. You can go the other way - try making real nutty coffee based on hazelnuts, almonds or even peanuts. It will be delicious and very nutritious. Such coffee can be a replacement for a regular breakfast or snack from time to time.

Step-by-step recipe for making coffee with nuts

• Take roasted nuts to your taste. If they are raw, roast them yourself until dry, without letting them burn. For one cup of coffee you will need 1-1.5 tbsp. of nuts.
• Place the nuts in a coffee grinder or blender and grind them to the finest possible fraction. You can also grind the nuts manually, using a mortar and pestle.
• Add the resulting nut flour to your usual portion of ground coffee and brew using a French press . Steeping, as usual, will take 4-5 minutes, the water should be about 95 degrees.

The finished coffee will have distinct buttery, nutty notes, while the French press filter will keep any extra grains out of your cup.

Alternative cooking options

If you don't have a French press at home, try using drip bags. Both clean ones (put beans and ground nuts in them) and ready-made ones (just add nut powder to the coffee) will do.

The method of preparation in a Turk is also possible and even exists in two versions:

• Place the ground nuts in a cezve along with the coffee, bring the drink to bubbles, and then filter. The nut particles along with the coffee grounds will remain in the filter.
• Brew coffee using the traditional method and add ground nuts to the cup with the drink. The coffee will be cloudy, so it will be decorated with a small amount of cream or milk.

If you are making the drink in a coffee machine, instead of ground nuts, it is best to add urbech or nut paste. The coffee will be creamy, dense and filling. Almost like the famous "bulletproof" coffee.

What are the benefits of coffee with nuts?

In addition to taste and aroma, nuts add a whole range of additional properties to the drink. In this case, coffee…

It becomes very filling and nutritious.

Any nut is a powerful portion of nutrients: proteins, fats, carbohydrates, and fiber. In fact, a complete complex of basic nutrients. Of course, a significant part of them is lost during filtration, but if you add nut flour or paste to the finished drink, there is a chance not just to drink coffee, but also to have a substantial snack.

Enriched with fatty acids

Even when filtered, fats are what will definitely remain in the cup. Unsaturated and very healthy, they are important for the heart and blood vessels, the brain, and the proper functioning of the entire body. In addition, unsaturated fats help speed up metabolism and saturate well, helping in the fight against excess weight. They also transport fat-soluble vitamins, normalize blood sugar levels and improve the functioning of the reproductive system.

Supplemented with vitamins and minerals

Here you will find vitamins A, E, group B, and micro/macroelements, including phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, calcium, selenium, iron, copper, manganese, zinc, cobalt, iodine, etc.

Gives even more energy to the brain

Fatty acids combined with caffeine are the key to long-term performance. One cup of this "doping" - and you are able to solve the most difficult problems, move forward and not give up.

Turns into a source of good mood

Most nuts contain the essential amino acid tryptophan, which helps produce serotonin, a neurotransmitter directly linked to mood regulation. The more serotonin you have, the better your life seems.
