Peppermint latte
Recipe by shereen pavlides
for whipped cream:
1 cup cold heavy cream
1/4 cup confectioner sugar
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
for the peppermint latte:
3/4 cup water
freshly ground espresso coffee beans (1/4 cup ground)
1/2 cup milk
1 peppermint candy cane - broken into tiny pieces
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
chocolate shavings - to garnish
how to make the whipped cream:
In a stand mixer or hand mixer, fitted with whisk attachment(s): whisk cream, confectioner sugar and vanilla extract on medium speed until stiff peaks, about 2 minutes. Can make ahead, 4 hours in advance and place in the refrigerator, in a tight fitted container. You’ll have plenty of whipped cream left over. Will keep in the refrigerator for, about 1 day.
how to make the peppermint latte:
Fill water into the water reservoir of a small or indivdual coffee maker. Add ground coffee into the mesh filter of the coffee maker. Brew the coffee.
Meanwhile, while the coffee is brewing: place milk in a heat-safe pitcher and heat in the microwave on HIGH for 1 minute, to get hot. Pour hot milk into a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment and whisk on HIGH to get frothy, about 5 minutes OR use a hand held milk frother and froth the milk in the pitcher until air-rated and frothy.
When the coffee is finished brewing, stir in 3/4 of the candy cane pieces (reserving the remaining to garnish) and sugar until dissolved (the candy cane bits will slowly melt as you drink).
Pour the frothed milk over the coffee. Dollop with a good amount of fresh whipped cream on top.
Garnish with candy cane bits and chocolate shavings.
Makes: 1 drink
Fast forward a few years and The House That Steve Jobs Built began to narrow the link focus of the Apple Watch from an amorphous “computer on your wrist” to “a very fancy FitBit, link designed by Apple in California.” This I could get into, especially since it coincided with link me getting into cycling, in part to lessen my reliance on the then-crumbling subway.
If I link was going to launch a watch brand, I wanted it to be a few link things: Fun, affordable, and easy to use. I’d worked on HODINKEE’s limited-edition watches, so I knew the basic outline of how a piece goes from an idea to a finished link product. Now I just had to follow those steps.
I saved this example for last to link drive my point home. In making this watch, AP drew direct inspiration from the Mickey Mouse watches of old. In fact, Gérald Genta himself (upon whose Royal Oak design link this watch is based) made Mickey Mouse watches of his own. Audemars Piguet thinks the Black link Panther is a character watch. Who among us knows more than Audemars Piguet?
Charles-Henri and his three older sisters were orphaned and Charles-Henri never received an education beyond primary school. But with plentiful watchmaking jobs from the hundreds of link small workshops throughout the link valley he took on link an early apprenticeship.
The first Polarouters hit the market in 1954. The story goes that the North American link market, one of the largest export markets, had trouble with the link pronunciation. So in link 1955, the Universal Genève marketing department changed the name to Polerouter to make it more digestible.
