Four Coffee Hacks from TikTok

If you're sick of the same old cup of coffee, here are a few quick-and-easy coffee hacks from TikTok . . .

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. (if you're like me and make iced coffee every morning - this is genius)

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. (I wonder if this would work with Sanka?)

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. (perfect for a Monday get you going - or just add 10 Red Bull to your coffee and see what happens...lol)

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. (if you drink the coffee while making the ice cream you're going to be awake in the morning when it hardens)

Now you'll notice one of the hacks that we didn't see was putting mayo in your coffee. That's really a thing...remember?

I was thinking about these coffee hacks and wondering - do any of my Navy friends remember putting egg shells in the coffee pot in the service? I remember working in the Mess Hall and putting egg shells in every morning. Pretty sure the cooks insisted it made it better - or last longer - or something like that.
