Go to the Recipe: Liar’s Latte
Well that's just super freaking cool
Can't wait to try this.
Hi!
What is the brand of these glass cups?
Thanks!
Bodum Bistro!
Awesome! I can't handle milk in my coffee but this might be exactly what i'm looking for when I"m in the mood.
horrible mouth feel and flavor. Dislike. :-(
Tried this today, used the correct ratio of gum to coffee. Didn't work - it got thicker but stayed the same colour. I used an electronic whisk, instead of a hand blender as used above. Perhaps this is where I went wrong?
Did you ever try this recipe Brendan? What did you think? The Liars Latte keeps coming up in conversation with my local peers, everyone that tried it disliked it so far - interested to see if your experience was different. It could of course be a factor of the local water...
Just tried this and boy, that's impressive. I can't stand dairy in my coffee, but this is a nice way to change the texture without ruining the taste.
Any reason to use xanthan instead of a carrageenan? I find the latter does a slightly better job at creeminess. Lambda will hydrate at any temperature.
If you can taste the xanthan gum there's something wrong with your batch.
Game changing maneuver: whipped this up on a whim this morning in the vitamix, but added a handful of white chocolate chips. The added fat and sugar stabilized the foam even more, and now it tastes like a vanilla latte.
I love dairy. I get farm-fresh heavy cream weekly, just so I can use it in my coffee. It doesn't take much, but that lovely butterfat makes "Bulletproof" coffee look insipid. I can dig the modernist approach and the molecular gastronomy with the xanthan gum, but it just doesn't look as appetizing as a good cup of coffee with some lovely cream.
hey, silly question, but is the math not adding up on this??
what math? what isn't adding up?
The next question is how do you measure out 0.13g of xantham? I suppose the answer is to round it up to a nice 1/2 tsp xantham , which weighs 1.25g (so 10x the recipe). You would then need to make 2.5kg of coffee, which i assume is about 1g/ml, and would need to add up to 2.5 L of coffee.
So, if we want to be specific, 1 cup of coffee would require 1/10th of a tsp of xantham.
I definitely see why you'd be concerned about the math.
Oh! I just thought of something. It says "250g coffee, brewed" which, in recipe language means that you weigh the coffee , then you brew it. Aha that's probably the problem. It should probably say "250g brewed coffee" (like, with the water included in the weight)
A note about the math:
0.05% by weight : 0.05/100*250g = 0.125g of xantham , rounded to 2 decimal places = 0.13g
So, if we want to be specific, 1 cup of coffee would require 1/10th of a tsp of xantham. How many pinches or sprinkles is that?
Am i right ?
Was it 250g coffee weight before brewing or after (with water included)?
In the video you put 1 g to 1L
Lets say 1ml of coffee measures 1 g of coffee
So 250 g of coffee needs 0,25 g of xanthan gum
Why you put 0.13 in the reipe??!!
