Manchu Affogato

Ingredients

In this Manchu adaptation of the traditional Italian Affogato, we replace the classic espresso with strong Manchu black tea. The use of Manchu black tea adds a unique flavor profile and cultural touch to the dish, infusing it with the essence of Manchu cuisine. Additionally, the gelato used in the Manchu Affogato can be made with traditional Manchu ingredients such as milk from Manchu cows, which gives it a distinct taste and texture. We alse have the original recipe for Affogato, so you can check it out.

Treat your ingredients with care...

• Vanilla gelato — Use high-quality vanilla gelato for the best flavor. If you can't find gelato, you can substitute it with good-quality vanilla ice cream.
• Manchu black tea — Brew the tea to be strong and robust, as it needs to stand up to the sweetness of the gelato.

Tips & Tricks

• Experiment with different flavors of gelato, such as chocolate or pistachio, to add variety to your Manchu Affogato.
• For an extra touch of indulgence, top your Manchu Affogato with a sprinkle of crushed Manchu almond cookies or a drizzle of Manchu honey.
• If you prefer a stronger tea flavor, brew the Manchu black tea for a longer time before pouring it over the gelato.

Serving advice

Serve the Manchu Affogato immediately after preparing it to enjoy the contrast between the hot tea and the cold gelato. Provide a spoon for scooping up the melted gelato and sipping the remaining tea.

Presentation advice

Present the Manchu Affogato in a clear glass or bowl to showcase the beautiful layers of gelato and tea. Garnish with a fresh Manchu mint leaf or a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant touch.
