Black Tie

Description

This is a recipe for a Black Tie coffee drink. It is a combination of coffee, chicory syrup, sweetened condensed milk, and half and half. The drink is served over ice and is perfect for a hot day. The chicory syrup adds a unique flavor to the drink, making it a delicious and refreshing treat. I found this recipe on Peet's website and modified it to fit my taste.
