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 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. Pour the butterfly pea perfume on top. The part of the butterfly pea flower that meets the sour/acid in the lemon juice will turn from green to a beautiful purple color.

Day 14: Black sugar pearl milk coffee
