56 July 2014 www.womanthismonth.com RAMADAN Celebrate with Coffee The premium coffee brand Nespresso has specially-created beverage recipes to celebrate the Holy Month. Here are three drinks that will add spice to your Iftar gatherings. Coffee occupies a special place during the month of Ramadan. This dark elixir was first cultivated in the 14th century in the Arabic region, becoming a symbol of generosity and hospitality. Whether it is a relaxed gathering of family and friends or a special Iftar buffet, the role coffee plays is central to the Ramadan experience. Nespresso, with its elegant, simple-to-use machines and exquisitely roasted and blended Grand Cru coffees, brings a level of warmth and stylishness to evening celebrations. Each Grand Cru coffee is contained in a jewelcoloured, aluminium capsule, protecting its carefully sourced, highest quality coffee from some of the world’s best coffee growing regions. Each blend brings a sensory experience with an array of different aromas and tastes. There are 22 Grands Crus, across six different families, which make up the permanent range of Nespresso. This allows you to masterfully select the one which perfectly fits the moment you want to characterise with an exquisite coffee experience. The brand suggests serving one of its intense families of coffees to break the fast. Kazaar, its most intense coffee yet, has fans all around the world because of its spice and woody notes and its velvety viscosity. When discussions with your family or friends deepen, you could partake in a refreshing, lighter coffee experience. Perhaps try a coffee and milk recipe with the Rosabaya de Colombia Grand Cru from the Nespresso Pure Origin family, which becomes deliciously sweet with notes of caramel, when combined with milk. And if you simply wish to sit and immerse yourself in your own thoughts, Nespresso suggests a Lungo, or long coffee, like the newest addition to the Pure Origin family of Grands Crus, the Bukeelaka Ethiopia Grand Cru. It is a pleasantly light coffee experience with biscuit and caramel notes. Just the words Aniseed flavoured iced coffee with mint is enough to tantalise the taste buds. The coffee experts at Nespresso, from champion baristas to international sensory experts, have also stretched their creative talents to develop a series of delicious and surprising coffee experiences specifically for this equally contemplative and celebratory period of Ramadan. In addition to the enticing iced mint special, they have created a delicately spiced latte macchiato with cinnamon syrup and a surprise pinch of cumin to add a touch of warmth. Also part of this group is a pistachio semi-freddo experience — a delectable combination of sweetened, whipped cream, pistachio ice cream with the added intensity of a Ristretto Grand Cru. Nespresso has a range of gorgeouslydesigned coffee machines which easily produce these combination recipes. From the Lattissima+ machine, which makes the perfect coffee-and-milk recipe at the touch of a button, to the stunning design of the Gran Maestria, Nespresso has the system to ensure your jewel-coloured capsule of Grand Cru coffee is transformed into a perfect coffee experience. Coffee recipes are available at the Nespresso boutique at Bahrain City Centre or can be viewed online. Visit Nespresso.com/ultimate-coffeecreations/BH/en/coffee-recipes. Spice It Up!
