Oh, now i know more about Raf. Hi from Moscow =)
Specific recipe to make at home?

Well, the questions is if you have an espresso machine at home. If yes, the recipe is pretty the same. If not, you can use moka pot for coffee in “espresso style” and then for a cream you can use a shaker. We haven’t tried that but it should work.
In Double B Moscow orange RAF was especially good
This sounds very interesting and I’d like to make this at home with the same recipe Bogdan/Douuble B use. I have few questions
Do you have a recipe anywhere?
Does the drink have orange peel, lime peel and lavender flower in it?
Is this citrus mix dried and then powdered?
Also what is the syrup he drizzles on to make a design, is it honey?
Thanks
To decorate the drink, barista uses several crops of espresso (or espresso crema).
> Does the drink have orange peel, lime peel and lavender flower in it?
Yes, it does, if we speak about Double B. Most of cafes simplify the recipe. They just use flavored syrups to make a particular taste.
not gonna find that in California haha or maybe I can idk
It was created much earlier, in early 2000’s at Coffee Bean (Moscow) and it was named after regular customer Rafael.
Hey Alexander, thanks for more information. We know it comes from Coffee Bean and it is named after the regular customer but it is true we were told it happened little later.
I had my first Raf in 2004 at Coffeemania.
