Hello,
Thanks for sharing this lovely smoothie ☺️☺️, i want to actually do that smoothie but i dont know where to get cold coffee from. Is it like normal coffee mixed with cold water or is it cold coffee that we have to buy from shops. I will be waiting for your answer ☺️☺️ Thank you again.
Hi Zaina. Good question! Cold coffee is just regular brewed hot coffee that has been allowed to cool. If you’re a coffee drinker, just make a little extra in the morning and pop it in your fridge until it’s cool. You don’t have to wait for it to be completely cold for the recipe to work, just make sure it’s not hot. 🙂
Ha ha that is hilarious! It’s so crazy how quickly they manage to get around when they can’t even walk!
Me too! All I could think was, “omg I’m eating ice cream for breakfast” when I was eating it. So not complaining!
