Ingredients

Serves 3

Directions

3 cups fat-free skim milk or 1 percent lowfat milk

2 cups regular strength brewed coffee

Cocoa powder or ground cinnamon, optional

Heat milk in a microwave oven or in a small saucepan over the stove just until it starts to steam and a few bubbles appear. Don't let it boil.

Divide the coffee and milk equally among three mugs or, for a special treat, bowls. (Try cereal bowls; leave at least a half-inch of room at the top, so you won't burn your hands when you pick up the bowl.) Sweeten to taste and dust with optional cocoa powder or cinnamon.
