This is a cold coffee drink that does not require an electric blender, as any closed container used as a shaker will work equally well.

Ingredients : Serves 2

200 ml Chilled strong coffee (about 4 generous cups of espresso)

2 Eggs, well beaten

450 ml Cold milk

100 ml Single (light) or double (heavy) cream

15 ml Sugar

4 drops Vanilla or almond essence (extract)

Pinch of salt

Ginger biscuits, crumbled, to decorate

Combine all the ingredients in a shaker or blender until well-mixed. Serve at once. Sprinkle with biscuit for decoration.
