39. Rhode Island - Coffee Milk

While the exact origin story of how coffee milk came to be is not quite clear, credit is given to the Italian immigrants who came to the city of Providence in droves in the late 19th century. Many of their culinary customs were adopted but one stood out and has become the state's official drink of choice, coffee milk. Coffee milk is created by mixing sweetened coffee concentrate also known as coffee syrup, and milk. The coffee syrup is extracted by straining water and sugar through coffee grounds.

This concoction is wildly addictive and is reminiscent of ice cream. The delicious flavor of coffee milk alone is an enjoyable experience but also is beneficial as an effective pick-me-up to start the day. Be cautious of coffee milk created using artificial ingredients, not only is it not as good as the natural rendition it can be costly to your health as well.
