Addicted to Coffeeeee

I've been meaning to write a blog post about this, but never got to it since I'm uber lazy.

If I don't have my cup of coffee daily, I sort of become zombie-like; not much energy...

It all started with the innocent box of "Caramel Latte" sitting in our cupboard.
So I was like, "Ooh, let's give it a try". Since a customer at the restaurant a couple of days ago had exclaimed out loudly, "I just LOVE latte. It's like, the best." etc.

I got out one packet and made it.

Bleh. Was my first reaction.

Why? Cause it was a little too hot and a little too bitter for me. :P Then again, it's coffee. It would be strange if it's not bitter. What was I expecting? X)

Despite the bitterness I drank the whole cup anyways. xP

Next day, I got it out again since I knew it would sit there forever unless I drink it. (My mum had finally discovered a good coffee mix, so she's drinking that. I think this was brought before she'd discovered it. My mum is rather picky with her coffee -- no, that's not it. It's just that she knows what good coffee tastes like, unlike you tasteless English-people. xP)

This time, I looked for a solution to the bitterness.

I saw the tin of Milo sitting on the bench and was like, "Ohh, let's try this and see what it'll taste like," since;

Coffee + tea = good!
Coffee + tea + milo/drinking cocoa = Bleh... it's weird,
Tea + Milo = unknown!!
So, Coffee + Milo = ??

And since English-people coffee is so tasteless and bland I inserted extra sugar.

Followed by CoffeeMate. You CANNOT EVER have coffee.. without CoffeeMate. Not good coffee, anyways.

To reduce the hotness I added in cold milk after pouring in hot water.

And...

Aaah... so nice...
I like to have cups of tea, but since we don't have any tea at my house yet there are big bunches of coffee mixes lying around, I was just like, "Okay, I'm going to drink this everyday from now on".

I'd go upstairs to my room and either read manga or watch anime at the same time while drinking the coffee... in an air-conditioned room. After all, drinking a hot drink in a cold temperature makes it taste better, like when you drink a cold drink in hot weather. ^^

Recipe;
A packet of Caramel Latte (I've also tried Hazelnut Latte since I also found it in my cupboard; it's good too)
A teaspoon of Milo/drinking cocoa
Half a teaspoon of sugarrr
A tablespoon or whatever of CoffeeMate

Mix all ingredients together and add 2/3 (of the cup) of hot water, stir so all melts, then pour in 1/3 milk...

BTW, there's a manga called "Addicted to Curry". I've never read it, of course, looking at the summary and picture =.=;, but I've seen it on the Mangafox's Release Page a couple of times, and it's "hot". Well, it was, anyway.
