In the kitchen with Svea: Blended coffee drink

I had a helper in the kitchen this afternoon!

This is what I made: a yummy cold coffee drink.

Here's the recipe:

1 C. cold milk

1/2 T. instant coffee

1 tsp. sugar (or whatever you want to use to sweeten it with)

A couple of ice cubes.

And a liberal squeeze of chocolate syrup.

Blend it all up for a minute or two! Yum!! If you use skim milk and blend it for 2 minutes it gets really frothy.

When I was getting ready to make this, Svea saw me pull out the blender and ran from the kitchen because she doesn't like the noise. So technically she didn't help make this. But she came running back in as soon as I was done with blending and then we had a funny little conversation:

"Whatcha makin', Mommy? Coffee? I please have some?"

"You can maybe have a tiny sip. But just one."

Then she changed her mind and said, "Actually no."

"You don't want any?"

"Actually yes."

Svea has been saying "Actually no/actually yes" a lot lately. I'm not quite sure where she picked up this little phrase but it is so cute to hear her say it!

And then she was wearing this winner of an outfit while we were in the kitchen together. She is so much fun!
