What I'm Drinking... Sludge

The name sounds less than appealing, but maybe there's a point to that... like, it sounds so gross, that your friends won't be interested, and you won't have to share it?

What I call "sludge" is just strong coffee made in my coffee press, combined with hot chocolate mix, and a touch of heavy cream.  It's delicious, really delicious.  It's also not too sweet, just kind of thick and bitter and frothy.  I imagine this is what Tom Waits would feed his children.  He would probably take his own with a shot of whiskey (and who can blame him for that, really).

Ingredients:
Coffee, dark hot chocolate mix, heavy cream

Decorate, Eat & Repeat
Use strong coffee!  Also, use dark chocolate mix, trust me, it's going to be waaaay better than milk chocolate.  Just a touch of heavy cream -- if you don't have heavy cream, you can of course use milk, or just go without that element entirely, but I think its the thickness of the heavy cream that really makes this delicious
