I tried a Black Cow for the first time! (and I don't mean Angus!!)

Have you ever tasted a Black Cow???
I tried one for the first time today and it was delish! If you love root beer floats you will love this recipe!
The recipe comes from Managing Your Meals by Winnifred Jardine (which is currently out of print.  How sad!) I use this cookbook almost every day and love it! All you have to do to make a Black Cow is combine equal parts of very chilled root beer and cold milk.  (the recipe calls for rich milk or cream but all we had on hand was regular plain ol' 2%)  Tastes kinda like a melted root beer float! Yummy!!! It doesn't get much easier than that!! Enjoy!
