Syrup from a mixture of leftover coffee grounds, milk, and sugar.

I can just feel myself picking coffee grounds out of my mouth for a couple of hours. Just when you think you’ve got them all, a few more that were hiding out somewhere among the molars pop out to annoy you.

Here is Dave's Coffee syrup...might be worth a try. Growing up, I remember Mom adding a couple of teaspoons of black coffee to my milk. I recall how good that was. I wonder if it's anything like "coffee milk."

New York System, two weenies all the way with a coffee milk!

If your hungry after the bars close in downtown Providence, nothing beats Haven Brothers!

There’s a $19k machine at the data center I frequently visit that can dispense a triple espresso and hot chocolate in one cup. I don’t care how many relatives in Italy are disgusted by that, I like it.

I had an Indian friend who insisted that it was invented in India.

“”””Rhode Island sure is a unique place. It’s the smallest state in the nation, covering just 1,214 square miles. “””””

That is getting fairly close to twice the size of Houston.

I’ll stick with the traditional Eiskaffee. Pour hot black coffee over vanilla ice cream, stir until the ice cream is completely melted. Serve cold. Some recipes add whipped cream for a richer flavor.

Yes, coffee milk. No, it's not coffee with milk or milk with coffee. It's a wholly unique creation that is all ours. It all began in the 1920s, according to RhodeTour.org, a website by the Rhode Island Humanities and the Rhode Island Historical Society, when Italian immigrants brought their love of sweetened coffee to the state. It became so popular that a soda fountain operator in one of Rhode Island's diners developed a coffee syrup by thickening a mixture of leftover coffee grounds, milk, and sugar. And with that added to milk, and voilá, coffee milk. People loved it so much that in 1993, it became our state drink. It was an absolute staple in our house as the ultimate after-school treat, a slumber party must, and sometimes, just because. As a college student at the University of Rhode Island, I even had it in the dining halls, and the university still serves a coffee milkshake in the Ram's Den today.

 

So it IS coffee with milk. Or milk with coffee.

Sheesh.

Don’t forget to add a cabinet & grinder pop in a jonney cake and wash it all down with some Dells lemonaide. Now your talkin!

When I was in Massachusetts 1998-99 working and studying the natives, I noted the grocery stores would have a whole gondola stocked with coffee syrup up to 1 gallon jugs.

Figured it was for the kids and did not inquire of the natives.

With this article about Coffee Milk from “Food and Wine,” you would think there was a recipe on how to make it.

Here it is:

Brew 1/2 cup finely ground coffee with 2 cups water to make a super-strong coffee base, then combine it with 1 cup sugar. Simmer the mixture for about 30 minutes, until it’s reduced by half (down to 1 cup) and really concentrated. Refrigerate the mixture and use it up over a period of two weeks.

Instant coffee is a quick way to make your own coffee syrup. Heat 1 cup water and 1 cup sugar. Once the sugar has dissolved, stir in 1/4 cup of your favorite brand of instant coffee and remove it from the heat.

For those who need to avoid sugar, substitute Splenda.

To make Coffee Milk mix:
2 quarts cold 2% or whole milk
1 cup coffee syrup
