Kapee
Kapee is a traditional Filipino beverage made from a mixture of strong black coffee and sweetened condensed milk. It is a popular drink in the Philippines, often served as a pick-me-up or a social beverage. The origins of kapee can be traced back to the early 20th century, when it was introduced as a way to make coffee more palatable for those who found it too bitter. The drink is typically prepared by mixing equal parts of strong black coffee and sweetened condensed milk, then adding water to achieve the desired consistency. It is often served hot and can be enjoyed on its own or with a slice of bread or a biscuit. Kapee is a staple in many Filipino homes and is often associated with comfort and familiarity. It is also a common sight in street food stalls and cafes across the country. The drink's simplicity and versatility have made it a beloved beverage among Filipinos, contributing to its enduring popularity.
