Mona Lisa Recreated Out of Coffee

One of the world's most iconic paintings got a caffeinated makeover recently in Sydney, Australia, when eight people recreated her image using 3,604 cups of coffee and 564 pints of milk, the Telegraph reported Tuesday.

The "painting," which measured 20 feet by 13 feet, was part of an Aussie coffee festival. Different amounts of milk were used to produce the desired effects in skin tone. (A few up-close shots of the coffee cups can be seen here.)

Folks can't seem to get enough of recreating this visage in various edible forms. Remember the burger-grease Mona?
