Iced Coffee Makers! Squee!

I’ve been trying to (and miserably failing at) make a decent iced coffee at home for years. It’s just not as good when you make it hot and then chill it—not to mention, you have to be extremely patient to wait for it to chill and then drink it. I’ve always wanted an iced coffee maker but never saw one avaialble.

Until now!

I was browsing through those stupid, wasteful store inserts we get each week when I saw one and gasped. Could it be?

It turns out that you can find iced coffee makers pretty much anywhere you look. And why shouldn’t you? If it’s available in a place like McDonald’s, then it should totally be available for you to make at home, for sure.

Late Latte

Some people might find the idea of a late night caffeine jolt - a little unsettling. I guess it depends on how your body can tolerate the stuff, but to me, there is nothing better than a Late Night Latte - they are easy to make, delicious, and always help me fall fast asleep.

The ingredients you need to make a Late Latte are the same as a regular one:  Milk and Dark Roast Espresso Coffee (or "regular" coffee). I happen to like equal parts of each but you can decide what you like best depending on your own preferences.

To make:

Heat milk in a saucepan while you whisk to create foam.

Brew coffee (or Dark Roast Espresso Coffee) and combine the two.

Sweeten with sugar if you like.

Easy right?

Try it out - maybe you, too, will become a fan of the Late Latte.
