Coca-Cola and Milk Drink Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 cup Coca-Cola, chilled
  • 1/2 cup whole milk or your preferred milk (chilled works best)
  • Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions:

  1. If you prefer a colder drink, add a few ice cubes to a glass.
  2. Pour the Coca-Cola into the glass first. This helps reduce foaming when adding the milk.
  3. Gently pour the milk into the glass, allowing it to mix with the Coca-Cola without stirring too vigorously.
  4. Lightly stir to combine until you get a creamy, fizzy consistency.
  5. Enjoy your Coca-Cola and Milk Drink right away for the best taste!

Tip: Pour the milk slowly to avoid curdling due to the acidity of the Coca-Cola.
