Summer Treat: Vanilla Milk with Chocolate Ice Cubes | Apartment Therapy The Kitchn
Longing for a glass of something icy cold this summer? Or maybe a scoop of ice cream? Have both in one glass with this unusual treat — vanilla-flavored milk with chocolate "ice cubes" that slowly melt and swirl into the milk. It has the sweet creaminess of ice cream, and the icy cold quality we are looking for in the summertime. It's sort of like hot chocolate, but for the summer. The chocolate ice is especially interesting — it's not just frozen chocolate, but a mix of milk, instant coffee, chocolate, and sugar.I rolled my eyes at the red velvet cake trend, but now I can’t get enough. I’ll make any excuse to have ‘cake’ for breakfast– here’s my take on a classic. *Update : Because the buttermilk lends to the acidity of this batter, do not substitute the baking soda for extra baking powder. If you add more baking powder, and omit the baking soda, you’ll end up with a heavy and dense crepe. In order to activate the baking soda, it requires an acidic substance, which the buttermilk provides.
