Drinking Suggestions
- It is recommended to drink sparkling coffee chilled to fully experience the refreshing combination of bubbles and coffee.
- It is suitable for all kinds of desserts, such as cakes, macarons, tiramisu, etc. The bitterness of coffee can neutralize the sweetness of desserts.

- Pouring sparkling water too quickly : Pouring sparkling water quickly will cause a large amount of bubbles to overflow, affecting the appearance and taste of the drink. It should be poured slowly along the wall of the cup.
- Over-stirring : Over-stirring after adding the syrup will accelerate the dissipation of bubbles, so the stirring action should be gentle.
Recipe Storage Tips
Seal the prepared bubble coffee and put it in the refrigerator. It is recommended to drink it within 1-2 hours. Because as time goes by, the bubbles will gradually decrease and affect the taste.
