COFFEE CABINET

COFFEE CABINET

Rhode Island is famous for Coffee Milk and Coffee Cabinet.
Coffee Milk (kaw-fee milk) – A lot like chocolate milk but with coffee-flavored syrup. It is milk with sweet coffee syrup added .The drink is served either by the glass or the half-pint. Rhode Island is the only place in the world where you can get this drink.

In my country there is this drink very similiar. Colombian people enjoy this drink everyday, because in Colombia the milk and the coffee is popular.
Coffee Milk recipe is very easy. You only need two tablespoons coffe-flavored syrup and one cup cold milk.

I invite my classmates and teachers to enjoy this delicious drink and prepare it in their houses.
