Tejeskávé

Tejeskávé is a type of coffee drink that originated in Hungary. It is a variation of the traditional coffee and milk beverage, made with espresso and steamed milk, but with a ratio of 1 part coffee to 2-3 parts steamed milk, resulting in a sweeter and more milky taste compared to a traditional coffee drink.

To make a tejeskávé, a shot of espresso is served on the side of a tall glass filled with steamed milk, allowing the consumer to control the desired ratio of coffee to milk. The coffee can be added to the milk at any time, allowing for a customized drinking experience. This also allows the drinker to decide how much coffee they want in each sip.

In Hungarian culture, tejeskávé is often served in coffeehouses and is considered an emblem of traditional Hungarian coffee culture. It is customary to serve it in a tall glass, often in a café or coffeehouse setting, and is considered a social drink, often enjoyed with friends or colleagues.

The name "tejeskávé" translates to "milk coffee" in Hungarian, and is widely available in coffeehouses and cafes throughout Hungary and other European countries. It is also a popular drink in other parts of the world, particularly among those who enjoy a sweeter and milder coffee taste, often preferred over the traditional strong, black coffee.
