Shaken Italian Iced Coffee
serves one
1 shot espresso (here are instructions on how to make espresso at home!)
1 cup milk
1 tsp sugar
3-4 ice cubes
Pour all ingredients in a cocktail shaker. Shake, shake, shake! Pour and enjoy.
Today is Brittany's last day here but she'll be going out with a bang - we have some fruity drinks and nice cheeses to enjoy on the terrace tonight before we have to wake up at 4 a.m. for her flight! I'll be so sad to see her go. Cue Marissa airport tears.
P.S. Britt has been the best blog assistant and even helped me shoot a better photo for my about me page! We were cracking up the whole time. Hope you like it!
