Here are 7 coffee recipes for a rainy day
1. Cappuccino
A classic cup of hot cappuccino can make you ready for the rains while you strive to finish your work in time.
Recipe:
A Cappuccino is an Espresso beverage made with steamed milk, foamed milk, and espresso. It’s extremely similar to a Latte (café latte), but the percentage of steamed milk is different.
Ingredients
1. 2 cups of milk
2. Cinnamon stick
3. 2 cups of coffee (strong, decoction)
4. Sugar – according to taste
5. Cinnamon Powder
Method
Take a saucepan and heat the milk in it with a cinnamon stick until the milk simmers. After it boils, remove the cinnamon stick and pour the steamed milk in the decoction. Add sugar according to the taste and give it an authentic cafe look by topping it with cinnamon powder. Additionally, you can give your coffee an artsy look by creating designs with the powder.

2. Filter Coffee
Recommended as the best, filter coffee is a go to on rainy days. It hails from South India mesmerizing its drinkers with a divine taste.
Ingredients
1. 1-½ spoons of filter coffee powder
2. Milk
3. Sugar – as per taste
4. ½ cup of hot water
Method
The filter coffee decoction is to be made first, and then we can start making the South Indian Filter Coffee Recipe.
If using a classic stainless steel coffee filter, place the coffee powder in the coffee filter and pour hot, boiling water over it. Let the decoction trickle into the bottom jar.
Or, if you’re using an electric coffee maker, add room-temperature water to the pot and turn the machine on until the desired decoction is obtained.
Bring the milk, sugar, and salt to a boil in a small saucepan. To achieve the greatest results, use full-fat creamy milk. The tumblers or coffee cups should be filled with the decoction coffee. Pour the heated milk in and thoroughly mix both ingredients.
Et voila, our coffee is ready to drink. Although, you can taste it better when paired with a South Indian dish like Dosa, Upma or Idly.
