A Melted Root Beer Float?

Root beer and milkI definitely have a sweet tooth, and sometimes I just need something sweet. This is a recipe, that I think I invented, and it certainly satisfies my craving. It’s low in calories as well.

Ingredients

Root Beer and Milk

That’s it

Simply pour root beer into a glass and add four ounces of milk. Stir and enjoy.

I use diet root beer and non fat milk, but you can vary that if you wish.

It tastes like a melted root beer float, and I love it.

I hope you’ll give it a try.
