Brewing recipes that guarantee Easter fun, whether you hand-brew, brew espresso with a mocha pot or brew yourself a cup of Easter tea.
Homemade Easter biscuits
You could say that it is "good time" that defines Norwegian Easter. The one that allows us to go to the Easter mountains, watch Easter movies, enjoy Easter at home, sit in Easter traffic, get an Easter tan or drink freshly brewed Easter tea. With plenty of time, we can enjoy all the things we usually don't have time for. Making delicious meals from scratch, plowing through novels in front of the fireplace, hand-brewing coffee in the morning or continuing the knitting sweater we started last year. With these recipes, we wish you a happy Easter and hope you enjoy the breaks - all the way from Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday.
"With fresh air and a little precision, the Easter cup is filled with freshly brewed perfection."
Hand brew at the cabin
A Kalita hand brewer is no more advanced than a simplified coffee maker. By hand-brewing, you can bring out the complex flavors in the coffee to a greater extent, which gives an even better taste experience. You can also brew Easter coffee using a press pot, funnel, coffee kettle or aeropress.
Brewing recipe:
- Large Kalita brewer (500 ml)
- Kalita paper filter & filter holder
- 3 heaped tablespoons of Easter coffee (approx. 30 g, filter ground)
1. Bring a pint of water to the boil.
2. Place a filter in the filter holder. Fill in coffee.
3. Pour water over the coffee so that all the coffee in the filter is moistened. Wait until it stops swelling (about 30 seconds) before pouring more water.
4. Pour the water in regular circular motions so that you get water evenly over the coffee grounds in the filter. When the filter holder is full of water, pause until there is room to pour more.
5. Allow all the water to drain through. It should take about 3 minutes to brew a pot.
Serve your coffee outside in the sunshine.
"With a mocha pot, you can make your own homemade espresso brew."
Espresso the traditional way
The mocha pot, or a macchinetta meaning "small machine", is a small coffee brewer that makes espresso using pressure. It is placed on a hotplate or gas burner. The pressure created pushes boiling water up through a filter holder and you have a classic cup of espresso. The mocha pot was patented in Italy by inventor Luigi De Ponti in 1933.
Brewing recipe:
- Mocha pot
- Easter espresso (ground for mocha pot,
slightly coarser than espresso ground)
1. Grind Easter espresso.
2. Fill the filter full with espresso.
3. Distribute it evenly without pressing down and brush away excess espresso from the filter holder.
4. Fill water to just below the valve.
5. Do not use full heat on the stove.
6. When espresso bubbles up in the upper chamber, turn down the heat and wait for it to finish.
Server & new!
