Wabi Coffee Recipes: Cafézinho
What is Cafézinho?
Cafézinho is a quintessential Brazilian coffee that's deeply embedded in the country's culture. It's a small, strong, and sweetened coffee, typically served in a small cup, and often consumed throughout the day, especially during social gatherings or after meals. The preparation of cafézinho is quite simple but important in its ritual.
How to make Cafézinho?
To make a traditional Brazilian cafézinho, you'll need finely ground Brazilian coffee, as the beans used are often roasted darker than many other types. Start by boiling water and adding the coffee grounds. For a traditional brew, use about 1 tablespoon of coffee for every 3 ounces (about 90 ml) of water. Once the water is boiling, remove it from the heat and mix in the coffee grounds, stirring gently. Let it steep for a minute or two, then strain the coffee into small cups. Cafézinho is often served sweetened, with sugar added to the pot before pouring, making it a sweet and comforting drink. It's typically consumed in small quantities, allowing you to savor the strong, rich flavor in each sip. Whether it's shared with friends, family, or offered to guests, cafézinho is much more than just coffee in Brazil—it’s a symbol of hospitality and camaraderie.
