I love a good cup o' joe. My go-to morning cup of go-go juice is an unsweetened Cafe Au-Lait made with skim milk. [p.s. that's a fancy way of saying I like black coffee with skim milk, no sugar or sweetener -- Sometimes I froth it to make it nice and foamy, sometimes I don't.] It's simple and it's delicious. I am not a Starbucks fan [
Sayyy Whaaaattt?], but every now and again I want something blended and somewhat fancy. Especially in the summer, it's nice to have an iced coffee to kick-start my mornings. But I'm cheap and would rather spend $5 on anything but a drink, so here's what I've come up with:
Ingredients:
1 cup of black coffee, chilled [I french press coffee one morning, then refridgerate what I don't drink for the next morning, but any coffee should work! The stronger the better!]
3/4 cup of skim milk
1 cup ice
light drizzle [or more!] of chocolate syrup
sugar/sweetener [if you like sugar in your coffee, you'll want it in this, too!]
whipped cream [to make it pretty, duh!]
Directions:
Combine the coffee, milk, ice, drizzle of chocolate, and sweetener into a blender. Blend it until there are no more ice chunks. Pour your coffee drink into a glass and top it with
a mountain of a little whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate syrup. Serve it with a straw and enjoy! Mornings aren't so bad, right?
