ALTERNATIVE MILKS

Fuelled by health and eco-conscious motives, the use of plant milks has exploded. Dairy alternatives like almond, rice and oat milk are on the rise, and according to figures published by Kantar, Irish sales of such products have increased by 40% since 2018.

What’s what?

Soy milk

The original dairy alternative for lactose-free recipes.

Coconut milk

Coconut milk is ideal for adding a sweet twist to coffees; coconut cappuccinos are one of the trendiest offerings in cafés today.

Going organic

Organic milk offers the same nutrient profile as non-organic milk and comes from cows that have been exclusively fed organic feed.

Oat milk

Creamy and naturally sweet, oat milk is a barista's go-to for milky cappuccinos and iced coffees.

Nut milk

A nutty favourite. Makes for tasty hot chocolate, porridge or overnight oats.

Juices vs smoothies

The difference between the two lies in the preparation. Juicing involves extracting the water and nutrients from vegetables and fruits, separating the indigestible fibre from the juices. On the other side, smoothies are prepared using blenders which pulverise the fruits and vegetables as a whole. The entire vegetable or fruit skin with all the fibre is included, keeping blood sugar levels more stable.

Iced coffee

Feeling chilly

The iced coffee boom presents cafés with a strong offering for reaching younger coffee drinkers; recent research shows that 66% prefer chilled coffee to sugary drinks, and that one in five new global coffee launches was iced. Cold brew, in particular, has emerged as one of the most popular offerings within the chilled coffee category.

What’s the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

Iced coffee is brewed hot and served cold, whereas cold brew is made by steeping coarsely ground coffee beans in room-temperature water for 6-12 hours. This creates a coffee concentrate that can be mixed with cold water or milk. Because it takes longer to prepare, cold brew coffee demands a higher mark-up compared to quick-brew hot coffee.
