Shake it until the coffee and sugar melt with the water and give the water a coffee color. After that, add cold milk, which directly comes from the freezer, and add an ice cube to make it cold and also provide thickness to the coffee. Shake it again for a few seconds till it becomes thick and creamy. Pour into a glass and enjoy, or you can directly drink from the shaker.
