Coke au lait?

Okay, here it is… it was relatively short, but eventful. Of course, this is just according to my tastes and preferences, as always, YMMV.

Well, to start, I went down to the 7 Eleven to get the basics - milk, 2% (because I’m watching my waistline), and coca cola “classic”… along with a bacon cheeseburger and one of those little tubs of Hagen Daas ice cream (also because I’m watching my waistline… grow, apparently).

So, those are my base ingredients , 2% milk and CC classic.
First, I try equal parts coke and milk. What a lot of foam! The foam tastes… just foamy. Kind of bland and bubbly. It makes me burp. Then I drink the actual liquid part. It was nasty, Miss Jackson. It just… it tasted like milk with a nasty hint of cola… it wasn’t pleasant in any way.
So, I assumed my problem was far too much milk. I toned it down to 1/4 cup of milk to 1 cup of coke. Not bad - there was some potential. Then I remembred everyone mentioning sugar. “Ah, sugar!” said I.
Sugar is the trick here, it seems. I repeated my 1/4 cup milk/1 cup cola mix, and added a heaping tablespoon of sugar to this mix. There is a lot of foam going on here. You do have towork past that foam to get to the liquid bit. Of course if you let it set for a few moments, the foam will turn to liquid again, but who has that kind of time? This is research, after all. I could be on the brink of some amazing discovery.
When sugar was added, this happens. (that’s right folks, fuller thicker hair, eyelashes that could pick a lock, and a tongue long enough to lick your eyelids. Still didn’t enhance my ability to draw, though, sadly).

To be honest, I’d say it was an aquired taste. The end result tasted like a creamy cola drink… which is pretty much how it sounds. I didn’t find the carbonation in the end was very noticable. It certainly isn’t flat soda, I’m drinking it now with my delicious, healthy bacon cheeseburger (oops, there goes another button…)

I didn’t mind it. It would be something like a novelty drink to me, though, like… like an iced coffee. Or a root beer float :smiley: Not something I’d drink every day. I’d recommend you try it - you might like it. I have a coupon for a 2 litre of Pepsi, maybe I’ll give the Laverne Special a whirl. :stuck_out_tongue:
