How to make nitro coffee, tea, or cocktails
Nitrous oxide is a byproduct emitted during industrial and agricultural activities. Aside from that, it is released by cars with the ignition of the engine. According to an overview of greenhouse gas emissions in 2018, nitrous oxide is reported to occupy 7% of the total bill.
Each of these greenhouse gases can remain in the atmosphere for different amounts of time, ranging from a few years up to hundreds of years. With the amount of nitrous oxide (N2O) emitted today, it will remain in the atmosphere for over 100 years on average. According to The Conversation, the gas can even live up to 110 years. The article also mentions that nitrous oxide is not only a greenhouse gas but also an ozone destroyer: depleting the protective layer that removes N2O from the atmosphere.
Making nitrogen-infused coffee, tea, or any cocktail of choice is easy provided with the necessary tools, equipment, and cookbook.
One of the necessary tools needed for making your nitrogen-infused drink includes a transparent glass cup (or any preferred serving cup), your liquid preparation of the preferred drink, which can be tea, coffee, or any cocktail of choice. The Isi nitro and a cream charger.
When infused with nitrogen, the Isi Nitro produces an amazingly smooth and creamy beverage, topped with a foamy cap. The hand-held, flexible, and easy-to-use Isi nitro allows you to prepare any choice of nitrogen-infused drink, giving you the creator mindset ( you can choose what to add and what not to add… Sweet!).
A cream charger is a small cylinder filled with fused nitrous oxide used as a whipping agent. When plugged into the Isi nitro, the pure nitrogen is discharged from the cream charger and turns the already cold-brewed coffee into nitro coffee.
Step by step method to make your Nitro coffee, tea & cocktail:
Once you’ve got your tools ready, the next step is to start preparing your Nitro coffee, tea, or cocktail of choice. Cold brewed coffee has been found to perform better with nitrous oxide, so make sure to use a cold-brewed coffee, tea, or cocktail of choice.
Step one: Prepare your fine drink liquid. This might be your tea, coffee, or any cocktail of choice. After preparations, you might need to refrigerate the mixture. Do this by placing the mixture in the fridge for at least 24 to 48 hours. After removal from the fridge, make sure to shake and stir up the content to allow the proper mixture of the content, then filter using a kitchen filter.
Step two: Open up your Isi Nitro and pour in the already prepared liquid drink carefully, filling it up to the marked maximum filling capacity indicated on the bottle.
