What is Einspanner?
Einspanner translates as “one-horse carriage.” The origin of the Einspänner coffee is closely tied to Vienna, Austria. It may have originated in Viennese coffeehouses in the late 19th or early 20th century. Back then, coachmen who drove horse-drawn carriages would make pit stops at coffee shops to enjoy a quick cup of espresso with whipped cream before continuing their trip.
Benefits of Matcha
Antioxidants: Matcha contains a high concentration of antioxidants; this helps combat oxidative stress and reduces the risk of chronic diseases.
Brain function: Matcha contains L-theanine, an amino acid that assists with relaxation and alertness. Caffeine and L-theanine can improve cognitive function, mood, and concentration.
Weight loss: Boosts metabolism and increases fat oxidation. Matcha helps with weight loss, but for the best weight loss results, focus on exercise and a healthy diet.
Matcha Einspanner Ingredients
- 2 servings of Matcha: I like to use ceremonial grade matcha, which is the highest quality grade of matcha. A good sign of quality matcha is its vibrant green colors.
- 2-3 teaspoons of sugar: Adjust sweetness to your liking
- 1/4 cup of heavy whipping cream
- Milk: You can use normal milk or other milk substitutes like oat milk, etc.
Matcha Einspanner Instructions:
In a cup or matcha bowl, sift one serving of matcha. Add boiled hot water and whisk until smooth.
Fill a separate cup with ice and milk and the whisked matcha, leaving space at the top for the creamy mixture.
In a bowl, combine heavy cream and sugar. Whisk until the cream is thick and airy enough to drink.
Pour the creamy mixture over the milk and ice in the cup.
Prepare another serving of matcha, using less hot water for a thicker consistency.
Pour the thick matcha mixture into the creamy layer.
Enjoy your delicious matcha einspanner!
