1.  Coffee Banana Shake – This drink was made in heaven and then sent to Laos. It combines the kick of coffee, smoothness of a banana shake, texture of a smoothie and gets you going. We had it first while hanging in the hammock in our balcony on Mekong in what is called four thousand islands and then had it twice a day everyday till we left Laos which was ten days later. But you don’t need to go to Laos for this. Here is how you can make it:

You need 2 tea spoons of sugar, 1-2 tea spoons to condensed milk, a shot of strong brewed coffee, 1 chopped banana, some fresh milk (50-100ml) and 2-3 ice cubes and a good shake in the blender to prepare your perfect coffee banana shake is ready. We promise you will love it. A recent experiment at home revealed yogurt does the job better than fresh milk makes it creamier.

2. Cold Coffee Shot – Add condensed mild to a glass and brewed coffee, stir it well with a spoon, fill the glass with ice cubes. Your Malaysia style coffee is ready. Drink it slowly to let the strong, heady, sweet mixture to be diluted by the ice.

3. Coffee Lassi – It is as it sounds – a lassi with coffee. Condensed milk, yogurt, brewed coffee and ice in a blender, and there you go, it is ready. It may taste different to begin with as your taste buds may get confused. But be careful, it is addictive.

4. Egg Coffee- This one is a test of your patience. Beat the egg yolk with 2 tea spoons of condensed milk until it is frothy. This step is the key to your cuppa, so keep whisking. Pour the freshly brewed coffee in a coffee glass, Pour the egg and condensed milk froth on top of the coffee but do it slowly or else it will settle down. To keep your coffee warm, place it in a bowl of hot water while serving.

We all have our own recipes of Cold Coffees. Simply add some condensed milk to your recipe and the results will amaze you. If you have a special recipe, please share with us.

  3. I accidentally dipped a tea bag in my cup of coffee today morning..The new flavor I got was Ginger coffee 😀 hehehehheeh Nice post!!! I wanna try coffee lassi 🙂

    • Shilpi,
      I have tried that one. I got organic ginger coffee from tamil nadu and it was caffeine free. So I used to use it instead of fresh ginger.
      If you can find caffeine free ginger coffee, it will make your Teas special.

      I can never think of any spice that would go well with Coffee, however ‘daalchini’ would go very well with Turkish coffee.
      Wait a sec, let me try that in the evening and tell you how it turns out.

  4. I want that Coffeeeee Filter :D:D
