Mango Coffee

I love coffee!

I consume 4-5 big mugs of coffee a day. Brewed is always best but from time to time i do instant. 3-in-1s are ok and handy. Now there are 5-in-1 and who knows soon there will be 1000-in-1 (just like the brick game I use to play) GAG.

I remember this very hilarious true story of a friend when ever I see these mushroom based 5-in-1 coffee sachets. The story goes like this.

A friend of mine was selling this mushroom based products which promises good health. One of these products is the 5-in-1 coffee. He was selling very well especially this coffee that comes in sachets.
One day, a common friend of ours who bought this sacheted coffee called the vendor-friend and complained that the coffee was very strong and kept him awake all night after drinking one (sachet).
Vendor-friend replied in a know-all tone: " Hay naku! Tanga ka pala eh! Bakit mo ininom yung isang sachet ng isang timplahan lang?"
Customer friend: " Bakit? 'Di ba isang timplahan lang naman kada sachet?"
Vendor-friend: " Sus! Kaya nga 5-in-1 yun kasi 5 na timplahan! Bobo!"
Our customer-friend could not reply anymore for he was rolling in laughter.
To be fair to our vendor friend, he was also made to believe that the 5-in-1 coffee was meant to be used for 5 servings. Now he knows.

Enough with GAGs. I would like to share a coffee recipe which I am enjoying. I can not claim this as one of my signature recipes for UCC has this kind of coffee (almost 200 Php a glass! WTF!). Anyway here's my taking on "Mango Coffee".
