Well let me enlighten you. My current drink of choice, is the result of a few things; 1 &#8211; Price, 2 &#8211; Caffeine content and 3 &#8211; Refill-ability&#0153;. It goes by the name of a &#8220;<strong>Tall Almond Black Eye with hot milk<\/strong>&#8220;.<\/p>\n<p>Essentially this is just a filter coffee with two shots of espresso, a little almond syrup and some hot milk. But there is oh-so-much-more to it than that. To get it tasting good, a few principles have to be observed. <\/p>\n<ul>1) Assuming you&#8217;re ordering this in Starbucks, don&#8217;t get Estima (whatever you do!), get whatever else is going (even if it&#8217;s the morally questionable (don&#8217;t ask me why) House Blend), I find Sumatra, or something fairly bold is best. <\/ul>\n<ul>2) Only get one or two pumps of almond syrup. If it&#8217;s a tall, then it&#8217;s gonna have 3 pumps normally, which is a tad too sweet. <\/ul>\n<ul>3) Espresso is espresso, at least at Starbucks it is. Regular or decaf is fine. <\/ul>\n<ul>4) Only get a little hot milk (a quarter\/half inch will do). Even better if it&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mohoyt.com\/blog\/2009\/10\/30\/starbucks-dry\/\">dry<\/a>.<\/ul>\n<p>This basically fulfils all my criteria, it&#8217;s cheap (\u00a31.12 ish with a discount and Starbucks Card), caffeine rich (240+150 = 390mg Caffeine per cup), and refill-able (free refills on freshly brewed (and the extras are normally included)). Win for me. Stay tuned for more interesting drinks combos&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Well not mentioning something for a while is bad. So I&#8217;m back. Now.
