Coffee "recipe"

I bought a little frother years ago and have never used it so I might try that recipe.
It could be very dusty and need new batteries first.

It definitely alters the taste for some reason.
I think you could probably drop some flavouring in if you're the adventurous type.

Thanks MissAdventure, I’m going to give this a try. Much prefer my coffee milky.

MissA You have just transported me back in time over 50 years to The Wheel coffee shop where I met my boyfriend ❤️ after school and drank milky coffee from a see-through pyrex type cup
Happy days.

Thank you 💐

Im not a big coffee drinker but Tesco coffee sachets make a nice frothy drink.

Yes that is to my taste just old fashioned instant coffee with two sugars. My very favourite is just made with boiled milk I can’t be doing with fancy coffee’s.

Well, hold your breath, when feeling one degree under, I love a mug of Camp coffee, made with hot milk. So takes me back to when mum made it for me.

NotAGran55 You’ve just reminded me of teenage drives to Brighton, stopping en route at a Fortes caff for frothy coffee in a Pyrex cup! Happy days!

Oh MissAdventure you've taken me back years! A friend of my brother taught us this when I was about 12. No frothers back then, we just whipped it with a teaspoon until it had lightened as much as possible. Yes why does it change the taste so much? I'm off to make myself one now. Just one more decision, do I dig the frother out from the depths of the cupboard, or go with a teaspoon?

My Dad used to meet me from school on a Wednesday afternoon to go to the library in Durham and on the way, we’d stop off at Di Mambro’s, where some huge beast of a coffee machine would hiss and fizz, before presenting us with milky coffee in glass cups and we always had a Terry’s wafia with them.

My neighbours parents owned a coffee bar (cafe) in the early 60s.

No alcohol, pinball game, and there was a prize for the highest score of the night.
A juke box...

And frothy coffee.

I’ve been transported back to school! I grew up in Kent where, in their infinite wisdom, the educational authorities felt it was perfectly fine to feed milky coffee to children for school dinners!

It was a red letter day when gypsy tart and a mug of steaming hot coffee was on the menu. For those unfortunate enough to never had had gypsy tart, it’s a concoction of muscovado sugar beaten into evaporated milk, poured into a pie case and baked slowly at low temperature. We children must have been high as kites on sugar and caffeine all afternoon! 😂

Oh gypsy tart, loved it! Makes my teeth hurt just thinking about all that sugar! I was never served coffee at school, until 6th form in the common room where we could make our own using dried milk, unless someone had smuggled in contraband fresh milk. Why we were forbidden to bring in fresh milk I have no idea.
