We have always believed the best cup of coffee is the one that fits your morning perfectly. Between the whole bean coffees on our shelves and our coffee and syrup station, getting there is easier than you might think.
Our coffee and syrup station
At Granville General Store we carry whole bean and ground coffees from small-batch roasters, chosen from small producers who care as much about the cup as we do. Next to them, you will find syrups from The Syrup Project, an organic syrup maker, in flavors like Organic Simple and Organic Ginger. They are perfect for personalizing every pour without the long ingredient lists of typical coffee-shop syrups.
One of our favorite ways to use them is a drink we have started calling the Granville Ginger Latte.
The Granville Ginger Latte
Everything you need is available in the shop. Pick up your espresso beans and a bottle of The Syrup Project's Organic Ginger syrup, and you are halfway there.
You will need
- 2 shots of espresso (from Granville General whole bean coffee)
- 1 to 2 tablespoons The Syrup Project Organic Ginger syrup
- 3/4 cup steamed milk (dairy or oat)
- Ice, if making it iced
To make
- Pull 2 shots of espresso using your whole bean coffee.
- Add the ginger syrup to the bottom of your glass and stir it into the espresso.
- Steam or froth your milk and pour it over.
- Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon or a little fresh ginger, if you like.
- Enjoy, and make it yours.
Tips and variations
Make it a vanilla-style latte. The Organic Simple syrup works beautifully for a classic latte too. Just swap it in and follow the same steps.
No espresso machine? Brew a small, strong cup of coffee with a moka pot, AeroPress or French press, then follow the recipe as written. Warm milk shaken in a jar works in a pinch for froth.
Go iced. Stir the syrup into the hot espresso first so it dissolves, then pour it over ice and top with cold milk.
Adjust the sweetness. Start with one tablespoon of syrup and add more to taste. Ginger has a gentle warmth that comes through better when it is not buried in sugar.
