My friends Marko and Sarah can officially move out of Berkeley because I now know how to replicate the BEST coffee drink I have ever had!
Philz Coffee's Mint Mojito Iced Coffee has ALOT of fresh mint leaves and a really frothy creamy consistency. Philz Coffee is known for their "one cup at a time" philosophy - they brew all their drinks one cup at a time and will custom blend a coffee to your preferences. They have several locations around San Francisco and the South/East Bay. Now they just need one in OC/LA.
While I patiently wait for my next trip to NorCal, I decided to make my own.
All you need is 3 ingredients:
- Fresh Organic Mint
- 1/3 cup Cold Espresso
- 1/4 Natural Bliss Creamer in Sweet Cream flavor
Note : While Philz uses coffee, I like espresso, specifically Lavazza Rosa. My boyfriend brews ALOT of it using a Bialetti stovetop espresso maker and then stores it in this handy jug. Then I can just take some espresso, ice, and water to make an iced americano whenever I like!)
Note: Natural Bliss Creamer is an all natural creamer with the perfect proportions of cream to sugar. It has no funny ingredients or hydrogenated oils like other creamers do!
Directions:
1) Add approximately 10 mint leaves into the bottom of your cup. Muddle them to release the flavor.
2) Add 1/3 cup espresso
3) Add 1/3 cup water and 1/4 cup natural bliss creamer.
4) Enjoy with ice cubes and a straw :)
It tastes even better while working on your "apartment garden"
I think I need to plant mint now so that I have access to this drink 24/7!
EDITED TO NOTE: I tried just making an iced americano (cold water and cold espresso) ans adding mint - it was incredible!!! And has no calories or fat! :)

Awesome! just tried this today at Philz and it is absolutely awesome, the best part is that I can make it at home now!
ReplyDeleteAhhhh...I'm in the same situation ('while I wait to go back to the bay for this...') as you; thanks for sharing your recipe!!!
ReplyDeleteI was so so so excited to make this and I bought all of the ingredients but didn't buy coffee cause I had some back at home. Turns out I drank it all up and was left with creamer and mint leaves! T^T But then I noticed my lonely bag of Twinings English Breakfast Tea and substituted instead.
ReplyDeleteI am now a very satisfied somebody with a glass of iced Minty Milk Tea :3
*but I'm totz gonna use coffee next time I get some :3
