Recreating Your Favourite Malaysian Nespresso Creations at Home
Malaysia is a Southeast Asian nation known for its rich culture and even richer flavours. This kaleidoscope of flavours also extends to the cup of coffee that Malaysians pair with meals every day. From the bustling metropolitan streets of Kuala Lumpur to the charming alleyways of Penang’s old town, coffee is truly a universally beloved beverage in the country.
Today’s exploration will transport you to the intersection between Nespresso and the treasured flavours of Malaysia’s favourite coffee recipes. We’ll cover some of the Nespresso creations inspired by the diverse coffee culture of Malaysia, seamlessly blending sophistication into the aromatic traditions of the streets and bringing this delightful fusion into your home.
Cincau La!
Cincau La! Invites you to indulge in a Malaysian coffee creation that beautifully marries the nostalgia of cincau jelly with the flavours of Nespresso. This unique recipe works best with an intense espresso with roasted notes which melds perfectly with the subtle sweetness of the black jelly — creating a delectably textured mouthfeel.
To Make It:
i. Pour pandan syrup (5 ml) and fresh milk (50 ml) into the barista device with ice and froth.
ii. Pour the frothed mixture into a cup with cincau jelly chunks.
iii. Brew and add your favourite Nespresso coffee on top. Garnish with pandan leaves if desired.
The Oasis
Enjoy a refreshing flavour twist with The Oasis, a uniquely crafted coffee recipe that blends the intensity of espresso with invigorating ingredients like matcha, yuzu fruit mix, and sparkling water. Inspired by Malaysia’s vibrant coffee culture, this recipe is the perfect beverage to create at home to stave off the heat of the tropical climate.
To Make It:
i. Dissolve the matcha powder in 30 ml of hot water. Add the matcha to a shaker along with the yuzu fruit mix (30 ml) and ice. Shake well.
ii. Pour the mixture into a cup and add 100 ml of sparkling water.
iii. Brew a shot of espresso (40 ml) and add it to the cup. Garnish with dried orange and rosemary.
Rose Santan
Coconut milk (locally known as santan) and rose syrup elegantly converge to complement the boldness of coffee in this drink. Aptly named Rose Santan, it is an amalgam of sweet, rich, and intense flavours — all elevated by the velvety touch of santan and fresh milk. For the coffee element, we recommend a well-balanced brew with light bitterness to perfect this Malaysian-inspired fusion.
To Make It:
i. Brew two shots of espresso (80 ml) and add into a cup with hazelnut syrup (10 ml).
ii. Pour the vanilla syrup (10 ml), rose syrup (10 ml), santan (15 ml), and fresh milk (60 ml) into the barista device (with ice) and froth.
iii. Once frothed, add to the glass of espresso then garnish with grated Gula Melaka.
Long Tropicana
Experience the citrusy burst of flavours and immerse in tropical bliss with Nespresso’s Long Tropicana, a captivating creation that fuses the bold character of coffee with the tangy zest of lime and orange juice. This refreshing concoction is a nod to Malaysia’s tropical charm, capturing the delightful breeze of the tropics into your cup of coffee.
To Make It
i. Add vanilla syrup (10 ml) and a squeeze of lime juice into a glass with ice.
ii. Pour in the orange juice (100 ml).
iii. Brew and add a shot of a rich and intense blend of coffee (110 ml) to the cup. Optionally garnish with a lemon slice and rosemary.
Durian & Co.
Embrace the bold and daring with Durian & Co., a Malaysian creation that puts a tropical twist on the classic affogato. By combining the intense flavours of thick-bodied espresso with the decadence of durian ice cream, this unique recipe offers a truly distinctive Malaysian rendition of one of the most popular coffee desserts in the world.
To Make It:
i. Take a scoop of durian ice cream (30 g) and put it in a cup.
ii. Pour coconut milk (100 ml) into the barista device and froth, then pour the frothed mixture on top of the durian ice cream.
iii. Brew and add a shot of espresso (40 ml). Garnish with coconut flakes and enjoy.
