Daily Recco, July 26: The perfect indulgence on Coffee Milkshake Day today
AS a coffee lover, you would not want to miss this creamy and delicious glass of coffee milkshake 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.
