Growing up in India, we didn't have Starbucks or fancy coffee shops. Moreover coffee was always in the shadow as tea was the dominating beverage of the masses. I vividly remember going with my mom-papa to this local ice cream shop and ordering cold coffee, instead of the regular fav ice cream or juice once. It was a big deal. It was thick and came in a tall glass. Even now, I enjoy a glass of homemade cold coffee instead of Frappe or iced coffee sold in the coffee shops as I find those are super sweet and the ones I make at home, I can control the sweetness. Here is my version of the delightful chilled nirvana.
Serving Size: one

1 cup: Milk (choose 2% or full fat, since it's less watery)

Put all the ingredients except whipped cream in a blender. Blend until it's smooth.
Pour it in a glass, if you like put a dollop of whipped cream. Enjoy instantly the yummy frothy cold coffee.
Coffee bytes: We all know blood runs in our veins and keeps us alive, but it's coffee which keeps us sane.
