Day 1: Milk coffee

Simple drink with condensed milk and traditional filter coffee. You can choose to stir the milk with a little hot water. Then add ice and pour the hot brewed coffee on top to create a floating effect.

Day 2: Matcha Latte

Mix about 1/2 teaspoon of pure matcha powder with 50-60ml of warm water, stir until the mixture is completely dissolved. Put ice in a glass, add fresh milk or nut milk about 2/3 cup and pour hot matcha mixture on top. Add sugar water according to taste.

Day 3: Lemon soda

Dissolve lemon juice with 2-3 tablespoons of yellow sugar and about 50ml of filtered water. Then put in a glass, add ice and pour over the top with unsweetened soda water or carbonated mineral water. Garnish with a few slices of lemon and rosemary leaves. If possible, use yellow lemon to make the water more fragrant than green lemon.

Day 4: Cold brew coffee with salted lemon

Pickled salted lemon with water, add about 50ml of filtered water and 2 teaspoons of sugar. Stir well, then add ice and pour cold brew coffee on top.

Day 5: Strawberry black tea

Strawberries are sliced, soaked in sugar overnight. No need to add too much sugar or water. Brew 1 cup of black tea. Take the strawberry juice out 1/3 cup, add ice, squeeze in a few drops of lemon, continue to add ice and pour the tea on top. Garnish with some thyme or basil leaves.

Day 6: Strawberry milk

Use a spoon/fork to sprinkle the strawberries with sugar, leave for about 5-10 minutes for the strawberries to absorb and the sugar to dissolve. Put the strawberries in a glass, add ice and pour the fresh milk on top. It is recommended to use unsweetened milk because the strawberry itself has sweetness.

Day 7: Dalgona coffee

Put 2 teaspoons of instant black + 2 teaspoons of sugar and 2 tablespoons of boiling water in a cup. Beat until the mixture becomes thick and has a certain foaminess. Put ice cubes in a cup and pour milk as you like. Then, put the foam coffee mixture on top and enjoy.

Day 11: Fat milk coffee

It's still the coffee I made with a filter, but I drink it with full cream fat to increase the fat

Day 12: Cocoa Macchiato

Take 2 tablespoons of pure cocoa powder, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar, add a little hot water and stir well. Pour the mixture into a glass, add ice, pour fresh milk over the glass almost full. Use whipping cream to beat with a little salt to give this cream a salty taste. Pour on top and you're done.

Day 13: Butterfly pea flower lemon tea

Strain 4-5 butterfly pea flowers with about 100 ml of water for 10-15 minutes to make the flowers green. Pour lime juice mixed with a little sugar to the bottom of the glass, add ice near the glass.

Day 14: Black sugar pearl milk coffee

Cook pearls and soak with brown sugar. Use while the pearls are still warm. Prepare 1 cup of strong black coffee. Pour the pearls down first, add ice and milk. Then pour in the coffee and slowly add the whipped cream on top.
