Some Fun, Refreshing, And Yum Coffee Hacks
TikTok has given us the skull breaker, and the mole removal challenge, of course, but it might actually be good for a few USEFUL things as well.
TikTokers have been posting their coffee hacks for a while, and I’ve got to admit, these are cool! So if you’re sick of the same old, boring cup of coffee, here are a few quick-and-easy coffee hacks from TikTok, and beyond:
1. Stronger iced coffee. Instead of normal ice cubes, freeze the coffee itself. Or freeze whatever type of creamer you like. Then it won’t get watered down.
2. Instant espresso. Just mix a bunch of instant coffee with a tiny bit of water. One popular video says to use one heaping teaspoon per ounce. That’s about eight times stronger than a normal cup of instant coffee. But if you’re a true coffee lover, I suppose that’s kid’s stuff.
3. Proffee. It stands for “protein coffee”. Instead of adding creamer to your coffee, you mix in a protein drink. Or just add coffee when you make a protein shake in a blender.
4. Homemade cold brew ice cream. It’s not hard to make. Just mix up a bunch of whipping cream, add condensed milk, a little cocoa powder, and a few tablespoons of cold coffee. Then mix it together and toss it in the freezer overnight. Yum!
5. Whipped Coffee: add two-three tablespoons of instant coffee to a bowl and mix in the same amount of sugar – or adjust to your liking. Add in equal amounts of hot water and stir quickly with a spoon or whisk until it forms a foam – which might take a few minutes. Add ice to a mug or jar, and fill with cold milk before spooning in the whipped coffee blend.
