The recipe is a unique variation of Café au Lait that incorporates additional ingredients like Tawny port and grated orange peel. French roast is a dark roast coffee known for its bold and robust flavor. It is typically roasted for a longer time, resulting in a deep, smoky taste profile. The cold brewing method used in this recipe helps to extract the flavor from the coffee beans while reducing the acidity. Cinnamon is a warm and aromatic spice that pairs well with coffee. It adds a subtle, earthy sweetness and a hint of spiciness to the beverage. Tawny port is a type of fortified wine that originates from Portugal. It is aged in wooden barrels, which gives it a rich and nutty flavor profile. Adding Tawny port to the coffee mixture adds complexity, depth, and a touch of sweetness to the final drink. The grated orange peel provides a burst of citrus aroma and flavor. It adds a refreshing and bright element to the overall taste profile, complementing the richness of the coffee and Tawny port.
