Tia Maria - Matcha Cream Liqueur, Creamy and Earthy Taste of Japanese Matcha with a Pleasant Bitter Undertone, Bottle of 70 cl, 17% ABV

Product Information

Tia Maria Matcha will be available in 700ml bottles and will be launching in major supermarkets this summer. It's pretty hard to make a mistake in these drinks, but here a few possible scenarios that you'd need to change when preparing/serving. You can also use a food processor or stand mixer in place of the blender if desired. How to Fix a Mistake This is a simple one: at the time of writing, none of the drinks Kahlua make are vegan friendly. This may change in the near future but as of November 2020 their core range uses non-vegan sugar. They have committed to changing this so hopefully we will have positive news in that regard sooner rather than later. Some of their other drinks, such as the ready to drink ones, contain milk or milk derivatives, so are also not suitable for vegans irrespective of the sugar used. Vegan White Russian

This is perfect for people who regularly drink coffee with some kind of milk. Again, how much Tia Maria you pour in is according to your preference. 3. Tia Maria With Cola The former, original recipe was significantly boozier with an alcohol content of 31.5%. The ingredients were also slightly different, as the liqueur was made from Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee beans and genuine bourbon vanilla. The taste of Tia Maria The roasted beans are coarsely ground, optimised extraction quality, and cold-brewed by steeping the ground coffee beans in room-temperature water and alcohol solution for six to 12 hours. How to make: SHAKE both ingredients with ice. Strain into chilled glass with matcha rim already in place. Tia Maria is made from premium Jamaican coffee beans and a blend of Jamaican rum, vanilla, and sugar.

Confusingly, Kahlua seems very, very similar to Tia Maria, its vegan sister drink. We said earlier that we wished all items were as easy to categorise as Kahlua because we gave it a very simple “not vegan” label. However, given there are no obviously animal-derived ingredients, it seems sensible to consider why Kahlua is not for vegan dudes (and dudesses). Just about every kind of alcohol pairs well with cola. It’s no different with Tia Maria. This drink tastes great and also gives you that extra jolt of caffeine. You can add a slice of lime for an extra twist. 4. White Russian As well as the iconic original recipe, you'll also discover Tia Maria's newly launched matcha flavour here at House of Malt. Mixing naturally caffeinated Japanese matcha tea with indulgent cream, this green Tia Maria has a beautiful pastel colour and a unique, botanical taste you don't want to miss.

However, the recipe changed over time, as did the alcohol content. The original version contained 31.5% of alcohol, whereas t oday's version only contains 20%. Even the place of production changed. These days, the Jamaican coffee liqueur is produced in Italy and no longer in Jamaica. What's in Tia Maria? Oh, while we remember, please drink responsibly and within the laws of your country of residence. On with the article… Tia Maria Is Vegan Brandy: Any brandy is fine. I don't think it's necessary to spend a lot of money on the brandy since the coffee flavors from the ice cream and Tia Maria will be the most prominent. I'm not a brandy connoisseur, so I just buy whatever specifically says "Brandy" on the label (you can see the brand I use in the photo). You can use whatever you have on hand or like to buy. Tia Maria is a high-quality coffee liqueurproduced by a company with the same name. The liqueur was invented in the 1940s and initially manufactured in Jamaica. The original recipe is made from Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee, Jamaican rum, bourbon vanilla, and sugar. One of the legends is about a young Spanish girl that had to flee Jamaica because of the colonial war. She was accompanied by her female servant Maria, who not only managed to bring some jewelry with them but also saved the family recipe for coffee liqueur.

This really is easy, because Tia Maria is a great stand-in for Kahlua (just don’t tell The Dude) and vodka is naturally vegan. Ice is vegan too unless you steal if from a penguin, so that just leaves the substitute for the cream or milk. As a grainy powder with lots of flavour, matcha usually works best in drinks with texture, like sours made with egg white or aquafaba, or in creamy drinks that use a whole egg like flips or cream like an Alexander. Tia Maria is relatively light in alcohol (20% ABV), pairs beautifully with anything creamy, and makes a fabulous dessert substitute or after-dinner drink. It also pairs beautifully with vodka, increasing potency without detracting from its sweet roasted coffee bean flavor.
