What does this look like to you?
To me, it looks like cough syrup. But, it’s not. It’s what I’ve been putting in my morning coffee for the last few weeks. I have blogged before about my love of flavored coffee creamers in the past, and we’re definitely coming up on my favorite time of year – when Coffeemate brings out their holiday flavors like gingerbread, peppermint, etc. I normally buy other flavors of Coffeemate (as many in the lowfat variety as I can) to use throughout the year. But a few months ago, I tried buying a bottle of flavored syrup at Sam’s Club, and just using fat-free half and half in my coffee. I think the syrup lasts a lot longer and I think it may be a bit cheaper to go this route. Either way, it’s always nice to change things up a bit 😀
This is the cough syrup flavored syrup I’ve been using:
The raspberry tastes good, although I think I like the vanilla and caramel flavored syrups better. I just can’t get past the look of it! It’s a bit disconcerting to put that red syrup in my coffee, it looks just like cough syrup! And, with the red syrup and white half and half, my coffee comes out looking pink! 🙂 Good thing it tastes good….
Have a wonderful day!
I couldn’t do the pink thing either!! Actually half and half is one thing I can’t skimp on. Can’t do fat-free. I bought a thing of the flavored powdered creamer and I add just a titch of that for sweetness along with the half-and-half. Sam’s Club is amazing for what they carry anymore though. I would love to get some good mocha powder somewhere.
I see what you mean! I might have trouble drinking pink coffee too. It sounds like it tastes good though!
What a great idea to mix the syrups and cream! You can have much more variety in flavors that way. Our Cash & Carry has a whole aisle of syrups–hmmm…might need to shopping there soon.
I just wanted to say that even though I haven’t commented on you blog much lately it is not for lack of trying. You see, often times when I come over here your blog won’t load for me and I am not sure why. Anyway–enjoy, your coffee and thanks for the well wishes today.
