Oh my days, I swear my life is complete ๐ Though these days I'm hardcore #teamblackcoffee, having #condensedmilk in it takes me back to the innocence of childhood kopitiam runs, or to the catharsis of colleague/company bitching sessions with the likes of @dafnelately ๐ Granted, condensed #oatmilk is slightly different in flavour from what dairy would be, and I used straight-up ground coffee beans, rather than the local butter-roasted coffee from places like my grandfather's factory, but still, this was soothing for the soul โบ๏ธ
I don't know what planet they are living on when they declare this to be 8 servings' worth ๐คจ I had a quantity probably closer to a twentieth, and it already made my coffee too sweet. Too sweet. For *me* and my #sweettooth ๐ฌ #ditchdairy ๐ช

dafnelatelyย Also, do you mean to say that even Kopi O isnโt necessarily vegan? ๐จ Butter roasted?? 1 likeReply
stevenneohย Depends on the manufacturing facility where they grind the beans into powder for wholesale. My granddad's formula involved butter roasting for aroma, so in that case it wouldn't be vegan ๐1 likeReply
dafnelatelyย RIP ๐ชฆ No more black coffee in kopitiams for me ๐ข1 likeReply
stevenneohย Just asked one of my older relatives who took over (and ruined) said family business - some manufacturers do roast the beans in plant-based margarine or even peanut oil. I think this has very much been a matter of *hinge* personal preference ๐1 likeReply
lol1409ย Is this a thing? ๐จ Condensed milk in coffee?3 likesReply
stevenneohย It is here! Condensed milk is really sweet and creamy so it does something much more special to coffee than what milk and sugar separately would do ๐3 likesReply
lol1409ย This sounds illegal and I must try it immediately. I have to make the condensed milk though ๐ On the bright side, it's easy af. On the not-so-bright side, cashews and kidneys can't seem to co-exist around here. 3 likesReply
stevenneohย You know how to *make* condensed milk? ๐ฒ๐ฒ Respect!3 likesReply
lol1409ย Of course you can dress it up but you just have to make some sugar syrup (boil sugar+water until it's stringy) and pour in some slightly thick (homemade ๐) cashew milk. Which I usually only make for ice-cream ๐. Someone give me a PhD already, I could use a few more advanced degrees to let hibernate in a cupboard somewhere. 5 likesReply
stevenneohย Hibernate alongside the mounds of unwanted single-use plastic items? Surely it would deserve a better fate ๐1 likeReply

lol1409ย 1:1 ratio of espresso and condensed milk? Looks very very sweet ๐ณ๐ณโ Maybe the liquor helps? Even licor 43 seems very flavourful alone๐พ2 likesReply
