Any Hungarian equivalent for half and half?

  1. Here from the states and drink a shit ton of coffee. Can’t seem to find something similar here. It’s essentially a blend of half cream & half milk.

  2. >Much like heavy cream, half-and-half is a dairy product. It’s made by combining equal parts cream and whole milk, resulting in a product that’s thinner and lower in fat than heavy cream. The FDA requires half-and-half to contain between **10.5% to 18%** milkfat

    We don’t have this product but I think we have similar.

    You could buy habtejszín (whipping cream) (it usually has 20-30% fat content) and dilute it with regular milk.

    (There are plant based creams whish are low quality and has weird taste, “növényi zsír” – avoid those)

  3. half and half is around 10-15% fat, just look for “tejszín” with the same percentage. it’s usually in smaller cartons, with the percentage on the front in big font.

  4. It is called kávétejszín. Even the smallest shops have it. If it says “növényi” on the packaging, that means it’s plant-based.

  5. You can find 10% cream in the shops. Tejszín=cream

    But pay attention if you are looking for dairy cream, it should say “tej” somewhere on the packaging because lots of creams are plant based even when they don’t explicitly say it.

  6. Not pre mixed. You can get each “half” separately. For the cream, look for “kávétejszín” (coffee cream) or “habtejszín” (whipping cream). “Főzőtejszín” is cooking cream, and will probably taste bad in coffee

  7. So they milk the cow, seperate the fats to sell ‘milk’ and ‘cream’.
    Than later this brand mixes them together with some sugar and call it half and half? Or is it just not processed milk?
    What a world we live in.
