Coffee Lovers, Try This!
Put leftover black coffee into ice trays and freeze. Then add the ice cubes to a freshly brewed cup of mocha or latte for an extra kick! Instant coffee works well with this. We tried it out in a cup of the new OLDTOWN White Coffee 3 in 1 Mocha, and it hits the right spot on a hot, sunny day.
OLDTOWN White Coffee 3 in 1 Mocha, $6.80 (pack of 15 sachets), is available in leading supermarkets.
