Intro: Hot Coffee Milk

Warm up with a richer, smoother coffee on that cold day by using all milk instead of water. I got this idea from a plumber who helped us with our drains.

STEP 1: Fill Your Cup With Milk

Get out your favorite coffee cup and fill it up with milk instead of water.

STEP 2: Heat in Microwave

Place the cup of milk in the microwave for about 1 minute 45 sec. Make it good and hot!

STEP 3: Add the Instant Coffee

Put in a good heaping teaspoon of your favorite instant coffee.

STEP 4: Add Sugar

Add a good heaping teaspoon of sugar. You can substitute brown sugar for a heartier taste.

STEP 5: Add Cinnamon

Add a sprinkle of cinnamon for that extra touch of taste. Or top with marshmallows, whipped cream. Its a good hearty drink supplying energy for challenging that cold day outside.

Ten years later I am here to tell you that it sounds much better without coffee syrup (gosh that sounds like cough syrup). I just like my instant coffee mixed with hot milk and sugar. This other stuff with syrup has me mystified.

Interesting, something I never knew. Amazon.com has the syrup.

This basically the "Cafe Au Lait" that I grew up with. Popular in France.

Hold the cinnamon and add a shot or 3 of Jack for cold mornings before hunting.

In India, this type of milk coffee is very, very common. Instead of cinnamon, nutmeg powder can also be used.

Try it with a teaspoon of molasses added. Tastes great!

I like a mug of hot chocolate made with milk with a teaspoon of instant coffee stirred in on a cold day, and by an amazing coincidence, had just finished one a couple of seconds before clicking on this Instructable.

In the US Navy, we called that Hobo Mocha.

When I was making this instructable, I needed to make another cup for the cover photo because I drank up the first one!
