  1. Do not use instant coffee. To make the drink soft and aromatic, you need to take only the ground version. And even better - grains that you can grind yourself.
  2. Carefully separate the yolks from the proteins. If the white part gets into the drink, then most likely it will be spoiled, because when it is heated, the protein coagulates.
  3. Take powder instead of sugar. You can buy it ready-made or make it yourself. In this case, the dessert will come out without crispy sugar lumps.
  4. To add a brighter taste, put the additives in powder. For example, vanillin or cinnamon can be used.
  5. Buy only fresh and quality products. This is especially true for milk, and it should not be very greasy.
  6. Before serving dessert, it must be cooled. Usually it takes about 3-4 hours.
  7. Gelatin is only suitable as a powder. The leaf option for this coffee is not suitable.

Bavarian coffee is also served with hot citrus syrup. This method is considered complete.Of course, this way the cooking process increases significantly, but if you want to enjoy the full taste, then be sure to try this option.
