Green coffee with ginger is not only a delicious and invigorating drink, but also incredibly healthy. Especially for those looking to lose weight. The unusual herbal aroma of green coffee is infused with bright and invigorating notes of ginger. Such a drink can give a great mood, especially since it is quite easy to prepare it.
Green coffee is made from unroasted coffee beans and is considered to be much healthier than regular coffee. In the process of roasting, grains lose many useful substances, but most importantly, they lose chlorogenic acid. This is a useful substance that has a preventive effect on the human body and prevents diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases. Chlorogenic acid also speeds up metabolism and helps burn excess calories.
Thus, green coffee, which contains this amazing acid, has a positive effect on the human body.
But green coffee is even more beneficial when combined with ginger.
Ginger has long been used to treat colds, boost immunity and improve digestion. Ginger reduces cholesterol and is considered an excellent weight loss aid.
Mixing green coffee with ginger gives the drink an original and unusual taste, unlike any other. This drink is worth trying at least once in your life, especially since it is not difficult to make it.
To make green coffee with ginger, you will need: 2-3 tablespoons of freshly ground green coffee, a 1-2 cm thick piece of ginger, 150 ml of water.
It is best to grind coffee beans in a manual grinder, not in an automatic one. Firstly, it will give the whole process of creating a drink a touch of ritual, and secondly, it will preserve the rich taste and aroma of coffee. It is recommended to take clean and bottled water so that the drink does not have an unpleasant aftertaste, as can be the case with tap water.
Next, you need to grate the ginger on a fine grater and add it to the ground coffee. Then water is poured into the Turk, heated up, and a mixture of coffee and ginger is poured into it. Now you need to very carefully monitor the process and note the moment when the foam begins to form. As soon as the first bubbles appear, it is necessary to detect exactly 3 minutes and in no case more.
It is very important not to overheat the drink, since during long heat treatment, a significant part of the nutrients and vitamins that make up ginger is destroyed.
In the first minute of boiling, coffee can easily "run away", so you should carefully monitor the Turk: remove it from the burner in time or quickly reduce the heating.
Exactly three minutes later, the Turk must be completely removed from the heat and the coffee should be allowed to stand for a few minutes - so that its taste is brighter. Then the drink should be filtered through a fine strainer or cheesecloth. If desired, you can add milk, sugar, cream or even honey to the coffee.
Now you can drink it.
The drink may not have a very appetizing and beautiful color, but it tastes just wonderful, and the aroma is very pleasant.
Despite the obvious usefulness of green coffee and ginger, it is still necessary to observe the measure in the use of this drink. The norm for an adult is only two cups a day. Otherwise, unpleasant physical manifestations may occur: increased blood pressure, heart rhythm disturbances, insomnia, increased irritability, etc.
