necessity: the mother of invention
SPLASH!!!
Originally uploaded by Jerome Slagle. i miss pacha and starbucks living in the developing world; i miss having a 'third place' in general.
but i make do. and what else? i make my own version of fancy coffee drinks.
my favorite combo as of now involves 3 mugs' worth of hot water, 2 black tea bags, a single serving of nescafe or colcafe instant coffee, a heaping tablespoon of unsweetened cocoa powder, sweetnlow, and vanilla soy milk.
i usually drink the first mug warm and then by the last mug, i serve it to myself on ice.
oh.my.goddess. SOOO good. sig. better than w/lowfat milk or skimmed milk powder, though i usually use those when available (=cheaper).
there's foam, but heck, it's still tasty! and i should continue making this sort of thing at home since it's surely cost-effective, but only time will tell if i actually do...
**IN OTHER NEWS, i'm leaving tomorrow to spend a week in NJ w/my mom's side of the fam. sorry that my brother can't come but still excited!**
