half-and-half
Milk meets cream
Half-and-half describes something composed of two equal parts.
In American English, it most commonly names a dairy product blending equal parts milk and cream, used especially in coffee: I take my coffee with half-and-half.
The term applies to any even mixture: a half-and-half split of proceeds, or a drink that's half lemonade and half iced tea.
