Sweet Cream Macchiato

Haaaiiiiii....  Friends, I have a new favorite thing and it would be just selfish to keep it to myself any longer...


Coffee fans, say aye.  (AYE!!!)  Your life is about to change..  I introduce to you.....


The SWEET CREAM MACCHIATO!!!!!  
(Or, at least that's what I'm calling it...)
Iced coffee with sweetened condensed milk. Yum.
Brew yourself a pot of strong coffee and chill in the fridge.
Fill glass with ice.
Fill glass with iced coffee.
Pour in about 1 tablespoon of sweetened condensed milk.  (more/less to taste)
Stir lightly.
Sip.  

MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmm.........  It's like this sweet, but-not-too-sweet, perfectly strong, cold coffee drink that I just can't get enough of.  And it's a macchiato because some of the condensed milk settles so you get these super-yummy slurps of extra sweet sauce sometimes and it's heavenly.

Word to the wise: Do not, I repeat, DO NOT buy the generic brand of sweetened condensed milk.  It tastes like the can.  Eagle brand is yummy and does not have can-flavor.  I bought 1 can of regular and 1 can of fat free and mixed them in a container for the cupboard.  Now I can enjoy my Sweet Cream Macchiato whenever I want to...which is often.....like right now......


Enjoy!
