Did you know an immersion blender whips 1% milk and 2% milk but not whole milk? I do not understand this. The low-fat milk types veritably double in volume and their whipped versions do genuinely alter a cup of coffee, but the foam is too light and loose to be of any use here. This is heavy cream. Anyway, heavy cream under a few moments of immersion blender abuse with a mere 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract and the same amount of sugar.
Almonds zapped for 45 seconds then processed to coarse powder in a coffee grinder.
I'm developing a taste for mint. Never much cared for it before but now I like to keep it around. You never know when you'll become suddenly overtaken with an urge for a mojito. My grandmother had spearmint growing all over the place on one side of her house. She seemed quite satisfied with it taking over, but my brother and I were all, "so what."
