Daily Recco, July 26: The perfect indulgence on Coffee Milkshake Day today
Monday morning (and every morning for that matter) is unthinkable without a steaming mug of coffee for most of us. Let’s face it: how many of us can go without that caffeine kick? One, two, three and then many many more cups a day. Coffee is not a drink; it is an emotion for many.
Considered to be one of the most salubrious beverages around, coffee is akin to a lifeline for many. Come summers, the steaming cuppa paves the way to a tall glass of cold milkshake. And today happens to be a day to celebrate our love for the morning (and evening) elixir — it is Coffee Milkshake Day.
We share with you the recipe for the perfect coffee milkshake — deliciously thick and loaded with flavour. It is easy to throw together and super-quick to make for a perfect indulgent coffee treat. We believe that it is perfect. Try this out and you will find yourself nodding in agreement.
What you’ll need:
Three-fourths cup of milk
Two tablespoons of instant coffee granules
Two tablespoons of drinking cocoa powder
Four to five scoops of vanilla ice cream
How to:
Add the milk, coffee, cocoa powder and ice cream to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth and combined.
Pour into glasses and serve immediately. Preferably, don’t make it in advance and store it in the fridge — the flavour is best savoured fresh.
You can use any type of milk — half-toned, whole milk, almond milk or oat milk — any milk goes well with this recipe.
Feel free to alternate between vanilla and chocolate ice cream.
Instead of drinking cocoa, you can use chocolate-flavoured milkshake powders.
