A techie gives you coffee advice

Look at that sexy man

Technical nerds like myself and business types alike, heck even the normal everyday homebody sure enjoy their coffee. There is one thing I dislike when it comes to the coffee situation, it's when I make a pot and leave 1 cup alone all day long and it gets cold.
Coffee lovers like myself are probably the first ones to yell out Sinner! when the concept of leaving perfectly good coffee out to be wasted. well now, fret no more while I spin you my simple tale of how I solved such a problem not 10 minutes ago.

THE PROBLEM

Personally, for me the thought of drinking cold coffee is disgusting, and equally as disgusting as going to a coffee shop and ordering their Wacky, crazy drinks, worst of all is pouring what would have been perfectly good coffee down the drain. Now I like to drink coffee all hours of the day, sometimes it's great to have in the afternoon so when I reached for my pot in order to make myself more coffee I realized that I had entire cup that I hadn't drank yet. I solved this problem in a less overly sugary fashion and more palatable concoction that I wouldn't mind having again in the future.

THE PREP

all of the ingredients (minus a few sips of the final result)

What do I have in the house? A glass, yes, I have a glass. Some flavoring, yes, I have some Hershey's syrup that I use for ice cream. Milk, yes, I eat cereal so I have milk. Cold coffee, why yes, that is why I am writing this. So: Glass, Milk, Hershey's syrup, Cold coffee; I have everything I need, time to get started.

THE RECIPE

Taking the cup I filled it with about 1/4 cup of milk, I figured that 1/4 cup was all that I needed since it wouldn't be more than any amount of milk than I or anyone else would add to any amount of coffee anyways. Seeing as I don't normally add milk to coffee I had to wager a guess. Secondly, I added my cold coffee to the milk and filled it to the top.

By this time the taste was still too, cold coffee-ish. Which is when I slowly added some Hershey's syrup to the mixture in order to bring it to a taste I could tolerate:  a touch of milk and just enough coffee flavor to enjoy it (your results may vary).

THE RESULT

What I ended up with was a coffee drink that allowed me to not have to throw out my cold coffee, and still enjoy it without having to resort to having to avoid "Hipsters" at a coffee shop. Since it had very little sugar (aside from what naturally was in any of the ingredients, Hershey's syrup not withstanding) it didn't taste like sugar milk with coffee.

So think about that next time, when you end up with cold coffee that would be normally undrinkable. Don't pour it out, you might just like what you make.
