FAQs
Can I use regular espresso instead of Nespresso capsules?
Yes, you can substitute the Nespresso Blonde espresso capsules with freshly brewed light roast espresso shots made using any espresso machine or method you prefer.
Is brown sugar syrup different from regular brown sugar?
Brown sugar syrup is a liquid sweetener made by dissolving brown sugar in water, which mixes easily into cold drinks. If you don’t have syrup, you can dissolve brown sugar in a small amount of hot water before adding it to the espresso.
