Trash Panda Brew - Bandit's Brew Coffee Recipe

Our beloved Trash Panda family adventure continues with Papa Panda and his quest to sample every single caffeine concoction in the world….

This recipe combines the intense kick of espresso with the playful sweetness of caramel and a touch of smoky intrigue. It's perfect for those who love a coffee with a bit of character, just like our furry dumpster-diving friend.

Ingredients:

- 1 shot of espresso (30ml)

- 1 tablespoon caramel syrup

- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)

- 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

- Ice (optional, for iced version)

- Caramel drizzle (for garnish)









- Brew your espresso. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee.

- Warm the syrups. Heat the caramel and smoked paprika syrups (if using) in a small saucepan over low heat until slightly warmed and pourable. You can also microwave them for 10-15 seconds on medium power.

- Assemble the drink. In a glass (hot or filled with ice for the iced version), pour the espresso, followed by the caramel and smoked paprika syrups (if using).

- Steam or froth the milk. You can use a milk frother, a handheld milk steamer, or even whisk the milk vigorously in a jar until frothy.

- Pour the milk carefully into the glass, creating a swirl of white through the dark espresso and syrups.

- Drizzle with caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness and garnish with a sprinkle of smoked paprika (optional) for a touch of visual drama.

Tips:

- For a sweeter drink, add more caramel syrup to taste.

- If you don't have smoked paprika syrup, you can add a pinch of smoked paprika directly to the glass.

- For a vegan option, use plant-based milk and caramel syrup.

- Get creative with garnishes! Try a sprinkle of cinnamon, cocoa powder, or even crushed nuts.

Enjoy your Bandit's Brew! This unique coffee concoction is sure to become your new favorite pick-me-up, with its bold flavors and playful personality. Just remember, like our furry bandit friend, enjoy it responsibly and don't get too wild with the caffeine!
