Get instant espresso, Cafe Bustelo. Glass Jar. Single coffee mug- the only one you own (its all you need.) One teaspoon. Two. Three. Free pour. Cane sugar- Trader Joe's, you spoke your way into a 20% discount. Whole milk. I heard an ounce is a second. One. Two. Three. Free pour. Ill take another round. Ill have what he's having (as I point to myself in a mirror.)
I know I can't recreate Philz level coffee with my shitty instant coffee but I've gotten as close as one can get. As a note for the reader, I do measure these with my heart but I've given estimated measurements so you can understand the ratios. Please remember it's more of a vibe. in a mug:
2 teaspoons instant coffee
a few dashes of cinnamon
1/2 cup hot water
mix it up in a jar:
3/4 tablespoon of brown sugar (you might be like hey moonbeams, that's a lot of sugar, well I now believe that coffee shop coffee tastes better because they are not afraid of consequences)
1/4 cup half and half
a splash of milk
close the lid and shake aggressively (I'm sure if you have a milk frother, now might be the time) put a few ice cubes into your hot coffee mug, swirl it around and pour it into your sweet creamer jar, this a super sweet and creamy dessert coffee, and it is so smooth and delicious, I might end up having a problem
@PRINCESS pointed out Sweet Treats are capitalist propaganda and idk If I fully agree BUT I think a yummy latte is 200% more rewarding if you make it! my recipe: Brown sugar, instant espresso, milk, ice, optional vanilla extract and cinnamon. you also need a jar with a lid, so save one next Time you use a glass jar
β> boil some water, while itβs boiling put 2 Tbsp of instant espresso and at least as much brown sugar into your jar
β> pour enough water to dissolve (less than 1 espresso shot of liquid β your ice will add volume) and stir well
β> add ice and shake it around until itβs cold
β> fill the rest of the jar (leaving room for more ice) with milk and top with a splash of vanillla and a sprinkle of cinnamon, then put on the lid and SHAKE THAT FUCKER LIKE NOTHING MATTERS
β> fill the rest of the way with ice and enjoy :-)
no sugars, only a splash of milk. you need one coffee for drinking while you eat the croissant, and one coffee for drinking while you ponder what comes next
