Evaporated Milk Coffee

Hi Everyone, Have you ever tried evaporated milk in your coffee?

It's a great substitute if you are camping/traveling and don't have any of your regular creamers on hand.

It's basically milk, with less water, hence, the name "evaporated milk;" comes in a can, making it shelf-stable, so you don't have to worry about it going bad if you don't have refrigeration.

Evaporated milk is like regular milk, only more condensed and creamier.

It's good to keep a few extra cans of evaporated milk on hand in case you ever run out of cream.

There are so many uses for evaporated milk, including this coffee!

You can optionally add various syrups and extracts to flavor the coffee and customize your hot (or cold/iced) coffee drink.

Ingredients

• 8 ounces black coffee (hot or cold), freshly brewed or cold brew
• 3 tablespoons evaporated milk or amount to taste
• sugar or sweetener of choice, optional
• ice, optional, if having cold/iced

• coffee maker
• heat safe mug
• creamer container
• spoon, for stirring
