The Wizard LOVES her coffee. In fact, caffeine makes me sparkle. I come to life and seem to get so much done when I have indulged myself in iced coffees from Starbucks. There are two problems with this - first they really do add up not only in cost but also in calories and the second is that the Monkeys are usually always with me and two of the three beg for hot cocoa or chocolate milk and my few moments of bliss at Starbucks turns into aggravation. Can anyone relate to this? So the Wizard worked her magic in her kitchen and came up with her own version of an Iced Coffee Latte. It is definitely more cost effective - not sure about the calories though so drink occasionally.
This recipe is for 8 servings so you could easily cut it down for one serving, but why not make it and keep it in fridge for the week (practice self control).
INGREDIENTS:
1/2 cup instant coffee granules (I like Starbucks Via but any brand will do)
1/2 cup boiling water
4 cups of milk (lowfat or nonfat)
several squirts of Nestle Nesquick Chocolate Syrup (squirt to your liking)
2 cups cold water
1 can (14oz) sweetened condensed milk
Ice cubes
In a large mug or bowl, dissolve coffee in boiling water. Stir in the cold water and condensed milk. Next add in milk and squirts of chocolate syrup. Serve over ice. Enjoy and watch yourself sparkle!
