Drinks - Shake Up your coffee routine


I love an iced coffee most summer mornings!  I have neither time or inclination to fight the long lines at Starbucks first thing in the morning.  A few years ago I started shaking my own coffee and i've never looked back!

Here's what you'll need:


Instant coffee of your choice
sweetner (I like Equal)
milk (I prefer evaporated skim)
cocktail shaker
water and ice
chocolate syrup (optional)

To the cocktail shaker add 1 rounded tablespoon of instant coffee, sweetner, milk, ice and water.



Shake, shake, shake.  Then pour!




The cocktail shaker will strain out all the foam and just give you coffee.  If you like the foam, you can add that too!




This method allows you to quickly make the cup of iced coffee that perfect for you!

Add in chocolate syrup, cinnamon and any extras you like!
