Café au Lait “Shake”
It’s easy to make delicious and thick coffee beverages at home.

Makes about 16 ounces
¾ cup heavy cream or half-and-half
1½ cups strongly brewed coffee, divided
1 tablespoon granulated sugar
1. Mix together the cream and ¾ cup of the coffee and pour into one standard

freezer for the next time.
