since i really shouldnt be sitting here and playing with words tinkling and glittering or deep and dark ...
bcz Im way behind schedule at work
im writing about something i read sometime back ...
My fav coffee (or one of the). Discovered it by accident the first time I went to Vizag at the taj coffee shop
Its called Ristretto and not having access to the net I had to do a lot of hunting to find out what it exactly was back then
As usual when we'd go out to eat Id order something new which Ive never heard of
And my whole family (specially Munal) will pull my leg and 'predict' how it will surely be something Gross
Then if it turns out nice - ill get like one tiny atom of the whole concoction ... bcz the rest would be gone before u can saw thieving magpie
Anyway ... Ristretto was nice ... but luckily too strong to be stolen ... so I could enjoy it in piece
This is what it is ...
The strongest and most concentrated espresso drink. It is made with about half the amount of water but the same amount of coffee as a regular espresso. It is pure, intense, and wonderful in taste. Ristretto in Italian means "restricted."
You gotto have a manual machine to do this. All of the cafes dont - some have automatic
Basically the water needs to be drawn through the coffee vvvvvvverrrrrry sllllllllllllowwwwwwwly ... and it comes out 'blow ur mind' strong and a bit winey and very sweet ... but u cant have too much. bit like the ahua i used to have as a kid in syria :)
