5 recipes with Smart & Rich coffee: from latte to iced coffee

Smart & Rich coffee is Vietnamese Arabica with notes of cocoa, chocolate and caramel. It is great on its own, but it also makes it easy to prepare something special. Here are five simple everyday recipes.

1. Homemade latte

Dissolve a sachet of coffee with Ganoderma in 50 ml (2 oz) of hot water. Warm 150 ml (5 oz) of milk and froth it with a whisk or a French press. Pour the milk into the coffee and top with the foam.

2. Vietnamese coffee with condensed milk

A classic from the country where our coffee is grown. Put 1–2 teaspoons of condensed milk into a glass, dissolve a sachet of coffee in 100 ml (3.5 oz) of hot water and pour it gently on top. Stir before drinking. It works especially well with coffee with Cordyceps.

3. Iced coffee

Dissolve a sachet of coffee in 50 ml (2 oz) of hot water, add 100 ml (3.5 oz) of cold water or milk and fill the glass with ice. The best way to cool down and perk up in summer.

4. Mocha

Mix a sachet of coffee with half a sachet of hot chocolate with Ganoderma, add 200 ml (7 oz) of hot milk and stir well. A rich coffee-and-chocolate drink, gently sweetened by the stevia in the hot chocolate.

5. Spiced coffee

Add a pinch of cinnamon and cardamom to a sachet of coffee, pour in 200 ml (7 oz) of hot water and let it stand for a minute. The spices add warmth and bring out the caramel notes. Try it with coffee with Eurycoma.

A few tips

• Use hot but not boiling water — the taste will be smoother.
• Warm milk to 60–65 °C (140–150 °F) without boiling — it froths better.
• We recommend 1–2 cups of coffee a day.
