Espresso and Yoghurt

Hmm...this article caught my eye - a recommendation to add espresso to your yogurt. I'd do it. Why not? The article comes from dreaded spoke in the axis of evil, also known as Iran. The Tehran Times no less, in the section of the article sub-titled "Customize your yogurt" recommends

Add 1 tablespoon of cool espresso or extra-strong coffee and 1 tablespoon of chocolate syrup to 6 ounces of plain yogurt to make Mochaccino Yogurt.

I know that yogurt features highly in Middle Eastern cooking, and of course where else do you think Arabica beans come from, but this sort of caught me by surprise.

By the way, despite Arabica coffee beans coming from the Arabian Peninsula, tea in fact reins supreme in Iran according to my Iranian cubemate at the office.
