CLASSIC RHODE ISLAND COFFEE MILK

Classic Rhode Island Coffee Milk

What You'll Need:

-Dave's All Natural Coffee Syrup
-Ice Cold Whole Milk

Directions: This is the classic Rhode Island Style Coffee Milk. As pure and basic as you can get...
Fill a glass with ice cold whole milk. Add two generous tablespoons of Dave's All Natural Coffee Syrup, stir and enjoy.

Note: Although we recommend whole milk for the best flavor, skim and milk substitutes may be used. Note that using milk substitutes tend to mask the true coffee goodness and will bring out more caramel flavor in the syrup.
