Café au Lait “Shake”
It is easy to make delicious and thick coffee beverages at home. Plan ahead,
as you need to make special ice cubes.
Makes about 4 cups
6 ounces heavy cream or half-and-half
2½ cups strongly brewed coffee, divided
2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1. Mix the cream and ¾ cup of the coffee and pour into an ice cube tray. Put in
the freezer overnight to freeze solid.
2. Once the cream and coffee are frozen, put the remaining coffee into the blend-
er jar with the sugar. Add the frozen cubes and run on High until fully blended,
about 45 seconds to 1 minute. The drink is very thick, so it will take time to
blend.
