Talk:Bicerin

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Recipe

This recipe, which I have moved from the article, appears to be for a rather different chocolate/coffee beverage. Good, no doubt, but not Bicerin.

Recipe For 2

• 6 oz whole milk
• 2 oz half and half
• 4 tbls sugar
• 2 oz semisweet chocolate
• 3 oz of espresso, 1.5 oz poured into each glass
• 1 oz rum, .5 oz in each glass

Heat the milk and half & half to nearly a boil, add the sugar and chocolate, and stir until they are dissolved. Pour 1.5 oz espresso into each tall glass, add .5 oz of dark rum. Divide the hot chocolate mix, carefully pouring ½ over the espresso in each glass, trying not to mix. Top with whipped cream.

[edit] recipe

I beg to differ on the whipped cream: the cream added to the bicerin is not whipped but liquid.

It should be also added that there is a "cafe'" called "Al Bicerin" in Turin where this beverage has been prepared since the 19th century (the decor is at least partly original)
