This is my first Instructable so be nice damn it.
Right, if you have caffeine sensitivity, are pregnant or on any medication that is not suitable for use with caffeine I would advise against drinking one of these.
This makes about 1L (one litre) of finished coffee. It is strong and will give you more than a perk. It contains about 200mg caffeine which is a fifth of a lethal dose you have been warned.

The tools:
A smoothie maker is best but a blender would work as well.
A teaspoon.
A jug or bottle for the finished product.
The ingrediants:
Sugar or sweetener to taste.
About one litre of milk.
About 10 teaspoons of instant coffee granules.
First things first, measure out the coffee. I use 10 teaspoons, add more or less if you wish. Then add the sugar or sweetener to taste.

its 200mg per 1 kg bodyweight
How about a cup of MY coffee? I used to drink it when I lived 60 miles from my place of work (I went 6 months without seeing daylight in my "home" town, except for Sundays). It's best prepared at around 5am.
You need - a litre-size thermos flask. Roast ground coffee of your choice (my preference is a strong dark-roasted arabica). Ground nutmeg.
Put two large tablespoons ground coffee in the flask, add a pinch of nutmeg and top up with freshly-boiled water. Close flask and place in footwell of car.
Drive through dawn.
Stand flask up and allow to rest for a couple of minutes (the grounds will by now be fully-saturated, and sink to the bottom of the flask).
Open, carefully pour out a cup-full, drink and WHAM!
I took akimbo once, but my sensai kicked me out for telling too many "stupid" Chuck Norris jokes. Sadly, Chuck would later find out about this and kill the sensai for heresy. ;)
(Sorry, must be all the caffeine...)
Although I thought the LD50 was 1.2mg, so it would be 1/6'th the LD50.
Ohwell, just nitpicking.
If that is the case, and you are using 10 teaspoons, and rounding them, this is actually something like 570 mg of caffeine! You might want to mark this Instructable as "Not liable". :-)
You can compare this with other drinks at energyfiend's caffeine database. For example, I now know that the double-shot espresso I'm so fond of contains about 400 mg (the places I go serve a 2 oz. shot instead of the 1.5 oz they list.) They also have a calculator to determine how much of a given drink you need to consume in order to kill yourself, based on your body weight. (I need 141 shots of 1.5 oz. espresso, or 102 real shots, all at once.) For most of the drinks, you would die of a ruptured bladder from drinking so much before you would die of caffeine overdose.
