Evaporated Milk Coffee
Hi Everyone, Have you ever tried evaporated milk in your coffee?
It's a great substitute if you are camping/traveling and don't have any of your regular creamers on hand.
It's basically milk, with less water, hence, the name "evaporated milk;" comes in a can, making it shelf-stable, so you don't have to worry about it going bad if you don't have refrigeration.

Evaporated milk is like regular milk, only more condensed and creamier.
