This week I am showing off the Xtra that I have just enjoyed.
I love my iced coffee and always have skim milk and no cream but a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Today Steve was “Xtra generous” and put 5 shots of coffee in my iced coffee.
Will I sleep tonight? I don't know, but I enjoyed every last drop.
