COLD COFFEE MILKSHAKE - FI(EE)LLING CHILL !!

The heat in Singapore is getting intense and so it is around the globe. Heard about the ensuing heatwave in South India.

You can see Summer recipes screaming all over the print and social media. Most of them are Mangoes though. Thanks to all those one and 2-minute food videos that go viral within seconds to amplify food cravings. As a result...... give in and make some chill thrills to treat yourselves, family members and friends. Let us admit that it is difficult to play the health freak all the time. Indulgence is part of being human. Agree? Agreed.  

Now for the recipe. I am actually a traditional hot Filter Coffee @Kaapi lover and wouldn't accept any alternative form. But this was a winner. It so happened after I tried a Salted Caramel Latte at Starbucks that was a huge hit during the X-Mas and New Year this December. I liked their cold coffee version and had been wanting to recreate something like that at home. A medley of strongly brewed Coffee (Coffee Ice cubes), Vanilla Ice cream, Vanilla, Cold Milk with a hint of chocolate makes a heavenly Cold Caffeine slurp. I had to be swift with the shots. I had planned the setup ahead but couldn't help the ice cubes and ice cream from sinking and melting like lightning. Nevertheless, I loved the cloudy self rippling effect above and throughout.

METHOD

NOTES

  • For those who want a lighter flavour, make a coffee extract that has medium strength. You will require to pour little more water to make a lighter extract.
  • For a vegan version replace the dairy  and ice cream with any nut milk, vegan ice cream of your choice.
