Ground coffee
咖啡
Café coffee is a dark, robusta-heavy ground blend brewed strong in the same cloth bag as the tea and served with evaporated milk and sugar; 鴛鴦 is about seven parts tea to three parts coffee. The Hong Kong café blends have not surfaced in Australia, so the exact blend is a specialist item; any dark-roast ground coffee brewed strong does the job at home, and a Vietnamese robusta ground (Trung Nguyên, for example, from Vietnamese grocers in Cabramatta, Springvale and Inala) has the bitterness closest to the shop's.
Cautions: read first
- Contains caffeine.
Preparation
Brew strong, strain through cloth, add evaporated milk and sugar; for 鴛鴦 mix seven parts tea to three parts coffee.
