Clarified cappuccino, Maverick and Farmer
Maverick and Farmer’s interesting experiments focus on creating new flavour profiles. Co-founder Ashish D’Abreo describes their clarified cappuccinoas a milk-based beverage without milk. It uses a clarification technique which is usually used in making cocktails. Brewing this takes time and is therefore prepared in batches. Served with rosemary and orange for freshness, it is light, refreshing and easy on the palate
