Philz Coffee is not your average coffee shop. We do things differently. We specialize in customized blends of the highest quality coffee from around the world. As you walk in you will see a baffling menu of different blends. While there is a description board of the blend descriptions, we recommend you go straight up to the counter and let the barista know it’s your first time, the barista will find out what you like and hopefully give you the best coffee you ever had! All of our coffees are special customized blends crafted by Phil himself with many years in the making. Phil has spent over 25 years combining beans and creating blends to make the most unique smoothest tasting coffee anyone has never had. No place in the world has our blends. We work extremely hard to ensure everyone gets the absolute freshest coffee possible, no matter how inconvenient or time consuming it is for us. Each blend ranges from 2 to as many as 7 different beans from around the world and they each have there own unique distinct flavor. All of our blends are low in acidity which will help avoid any of those stomach aches you might normally have with another cup of coffee. For the folks that like single origin coffees, no worries, we have a variety of single origin beans available ranging from Colombian, African, Yemen, Kenyan, Sumatra, and more… At Philz, we don’t make your ordinary latte, cappuccino, au lait, espresso, etc. Every cup we prepare is hand crafted to your liking. We can make it less strong for you, just ask. If you’re used to Latte’s, Cappuccino’s, Macchiato’s etc. we can make you something extremely similar and guarantee that you will like it better, and if you don’t, we will keep making you something until you are satisfied. Let the barista know if you like light, dark, or medium roast and if you like cream, milk, soymilk, sugar, etc. We do recommend your first cup here with cream and sugar. But anyway you have it, it will be great! We wouldn’t even call this a cup of coffee; rather "A Cup of Love."
Today we are going to be making the Phil's Coffee Ice Mint Mojito. So if you're interested, keep watching. First ingredient, brown sugar. I will make sure to put all the amounts in the description below. Next we got some mint. I used around two to three sprigs but you can change that depending on how much you Now for the most important ingredient, two shots of espresso because this is a double shot household. Obviously this will vary best for your machine so just use whatever you're familiar with. Last ingredients are going to be half and half, can also be substituted with cream and finally milk. Also can be substituted with something Now that you got all the ingredients, throw out your Phil's Cup and let's get right into it. Alright so I'm going to take my two sprigs of mint, rip them up just so they fit into the glass. In with the brown sugar, get a spoon and muddle those together. Keep in mind that all you're trying to do is use those hard granules of sugar to break down the mint and release all the flavor and oils. Here is when I forgot that I was actually going to brew the espresso into a separate cup so I went and got a new one. Next step is going to be brewing your espresso over your mint and sugar mixture. If you have an espresso machine just pop in one capsule at a time and brew on the espresso sitting. If you have another type of espresso machine it should be pretty much the same process. This next step is actually optional. If you have an espresso machine you probably have the arachino frother. So what I'm going to do is pour my milk into there and froth it on the cold setting. If you don't have a frother don't worry you can just pour your milk straight into the cup as you'll see later. Now that the espresso has been sitting for a little bit all of the flavors from the mint should be infused in and I'm going to give it a quick stir just to make sure the sugar is also dissolved. Just a little check to see if I'm filming and let's keep going. Okay we're in the home stretch. Add your ice to the glass and pour over your espresso through a strainer. At this point the arachino should be done frothing your milk. If you didn't end up using the arachino then just add your milk as you would normally. Now I've used this arachino for a while now and I've noticed that if you want texture to be more And as always try to pour the milk directly on top of an ice cube so you can get a nice layering effect. As you can see I left a little room in the cup to add some half and half. I think this step is pretty essential and it adds a nice creamy texture to the drink. Let's be honest you're probably going to post a photo of this drink on your Instagram so you might as well go the extra step and garnish with some mint leaves. Last but not least a golden straw. Now that your drink's done break out the phone and take some photos. Well that pretty much wraps up the video. Hope you enjoyed. Peace.
