To create orange zest, push the orange down the grater and be sure to turn as you go – try to avoid the white part of the peel as this has less flavour. You can either add it to your brewed coffee and allow the nutrients to settle before you consume or place the orange zest in the filter so the brewed coffee passes over the zest to capture the flavour. 9) Butterscotch If you’re in the market for a festive drink which isn’t too sweet, take a good look at Costa’s new spiced cappuccino.
