Shakerato or iced coffee
Originally from Spain but very popular in Salento, shakerato or iced coffee is extremely simple to prepare. You start with a strong cup of coffee, a couple of spoonfuls of sugar and two or three ice cubes. If you like, you can add some cocoa powder.
To make it, pour the coffee into a container and add the sugar. Mix well, then add the ice cubes and shake everything together. If this is difficult, you can use a blender.
Now your iced coffee can be poured into a cup and, if required, sprinkled with a little cocoa powder.

Cold cappuccino
Cold cappuccino - or iced cappuccino - is a delicacy loved by many people. How to make it? First of all, get yourself a cup of espresso coffee, 60-70 ml of fresh whole milk, another 50 ml of skimmed cold milk and a little cocoa powder.
We start the preparation by pouring the coffee into a container with some ice cubes. Then whisk the skimmed milk until the texture is creamy. Now fill your recipient - e.g. a coffee cup - two thirds full with whole milk.
Add the creamy mixture and, if you like, sprinkle with cocoa powder.

Iced coffee with Baileys
Iced coffee with Baileys is a delightful treat for the summer months. How to make it? Here are the ingredients:
• Approximately 100 ml Baileys
• A couple of scoops of ice-cream
• 300 ml whole milk
• The same amount of freshly-made coffee
• A couple of spoonfuls of coffee
• 150 ml whipped cream.

Begin by placing the Baileys in a blender with the ice-cream and milk. Now whip the cream until it is fairly thick. The next step is to take two glasses and fill them with ice. Now take the Baileys mixture and add the coffee, which will have cooled in the meantime.
Finish by adding the whipped cream and, if desired, drizzle with melted chocolate. Now all you need to do is enjoy!

Prepare an espresso with the ingredients above, and allow it to cool. Meanwhile, fill a blender jug with ice cubes. Now pour over the milk and the coffee, not forgetting the sugar. Turn the blender on.
Once the mixture has been poured into a glass, if you like you can add a little whipped cream and some chocolate flakes. It goes without saying: this is a real treat that´s easy to make at home.
