Green coffee is becoming more and more popular. And this is not surprising. First, it is famous for its usefulness for losing weight. Green coffee reduces appetite, prevents absorption of fats in the intestines, speeds up metabolic processes. Secondly, green coffee contains a lot of antioxidants, which promote the rejuvenation of the whole body, make the skin supple, the hair and nails become stronger. And, thirdly, green coffee improves memory, makes our mind clearer and sharper, those who constantly consume green coffee, stop complaining about absent-mindedness and forgetfulness.
So, after such a list of useful properties, it would be strange if people did not start to get involved massively with green coffee. But there is one "but" - inability to properly prepare can lead to an unenviable first impression of green coffee. That's why it's so important to know how to make green coffee.
Roasting
Green coffee is the same black coffee, but not roasted. Whether you will fry it or not, depends on your goals. If you are going to drink green coffee purposefully for weight loss, then you do not need to roast coffee. If you want to combine business with pleasure and enjoying fragrant coffee and at the same time, to receive a certain benefit, you can boldly roast the grains.
Grains are fried in a frying pan, like peanuts and seeds, until you like the shade. By the way, Brazilians who know how to brew natural green coffee come just like that, and very rarely buy already fried grains. The catch is that roasted coffee retains its benefits and aroma in the maximum amount directly after roasting.
Preparation
First, we'll figure out how to brew a green coffee. To do this, you must have a coffee grinder, preferably an electric coffee grinder. The degree of grinding depends on the type of coffee maker and the method of preparation. For example, for frank-press and coarsely ground coffee, but for the Turks you need the smallest, coffee "dust". Average grinding is suitable for a drip coffee machine.
It is in the Turk that you can make coffee in the oriental, experimenting with spices: cardamom, cinnamon , saffron, ginger, cloves and nutmeg. Just do not overdo it!
So, how to brew already ground green coffee in a Turk - first warm the Turk 1 minute over the fire. Thanks to this, an unsurpassed fragrance remains. Then pour in it cold (!) Water and fall asleep coffee - 2 tsp. on one portion. We put on a slow fire and watch when a thin crust appears on the surface. When you see a crust, you still need to reduce the fire until the bubbles appear on the edges. To remove the turkey it is necessary, when coffee starts to rise with foam, and the crust still remains on the surface.
In the frank press, you need to insist on coffee. Fill the ground coffee with almost boiling water and close, leave to stand. Push the top on the rod, from the top down we lower the filter and without lifting the rod we pour the coffee on the cups.
You can also make coffee in a coffee machine of the geyser type. Fill the bottom tank with cold water, cover with a metal filter, pour coffee, spin the coffee machine from above. We put on a weak fire, and when the water boils, the coffee will begin to flow into the top of the geyser coffee machine.
Having tried and grown fond of green coffee, you will not return to the already browned grains for anything in the world. Preparing green coffee at home is a whole ritual, and if you become frying corn, your kitchen will be saturated with the best fragrances of the world - fried coffee beans. Learn to lose weight with benefit and pleasure. In this you, for sure, will help green coffee.
