Chill with Your Coffee

If you haven’t noticed it is August. Hot. Dry with intermittent bouts of humid. It is like the entire summer just collapses on top of  Texas in August.

And no matter how cool you are..you just gotta stay cool. Here is a great way to do it. This iced coffee recipe is worth buying old fashioned soda fountain glasses for. Seriously good. It was a big hit at the tea room.  It calls for 4 oz of espresso. Here is a GREAT place to use that JazzyBird that is still in the freezer.

Mocha Chiller

• 4 oz espresso, chilled
• 3/4 cup  coffee  ice cream
• 1/2 cup ice cubes
• Chocolate syrup
• Whipped cream

1. Blend the espresso, ice, ice cream, and sugar in a blender until smooth.
2. Squirt chocolate syrup around the inside of a tall, frosted glass
3. Pour in the espresso mixture
4. Top with whipped cream and a garnish of grated chocolate or chocolate syrup.

Makes one and I bet you won’t share.
