Bron: Unsplash We dachten dat we alles al hadden gezien op ijskoffiegebied: cold brew, affogato, espresso tonic… Maar toen stuitten we op een wel heel slimme (en lekkere!) truc van een koffiezaak in Utrecht. En die wil je deze zomer beslist uitproberen. Espresso in de vorm van ijsblokjes Wat doen ze bij Dagger Coffee? Ze vriezen espresso in, gieten die espresso-ijsblokjes in een glas, en schenken daar vervolgens warme, opgeschuimde melk overheen. Dat betekent: geen laffe, verwaterde ijskoffie, maar een intense, romige en ijskoude drank die steeds lekkerder wordt terwijl je wacht. Het resultaat is een soort slow melting latte…

Vietnamese fishermen have been known to be very aggressive. Some of them are armed. There have been shots fired.” Between mid-2019 and September 2024, the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency (MMEA) detained 598…
