Avocado-infused iced coffee

Use a double shot of espresso, a quarter of a ripe avocado with two tablespoons of condensed milk. Put the avocado, espresso, condensed milk, fresh milk, and ice in a blender and blitz. Makes a creamy and buttery iced drink which is delicious.

Amarula-flavoured iced coffee

An amazing creamy and smooth drink and all you need is a shot of Amarula and espresso mixed. Add a bit of cream, fresh milk, and ice in a shaker and shake for at least a minute. The result is an amazing marula-flavoured iced drink for a relaxed weekend with family and friends. You can even do this with different whiskies.
