A few months ago, was at the end of the line of the metro, and a little lost, went into a cafe to recharge, and their "affogato" was a deceptive delight - a burnt mint syrup at the bottom, bitter dark coffee, vanilla icecream. SO GOOD I DREAM OF IT.
If you don’t have a real espresso machine make coffee in a moka pot and pour it over a scoop of your favorite ice cream. I like Trader Joe’s vanilla bean. If you really get wild add a splash of amaretto.
