Candi’s Iced Coffee Homemade

Posted by Carole Anne on January 30, 2010

There is nothing like making your own specialty coffees at home. I use my favorite coffee brew, which I cannot divulge, but likely you have your favorite. Here goes!

INGREDIENTS:
coffee
coffee-flavored ice cream (low fat) or chocolate mocha ice cream
pure chocolate shavings
nutmeg – a pinch will do

NOW FOLLOW ME:
* Brew your own special coffee the way you like it.

* Cool it down for ten minutes and then put in the fridge to cool it for another ten minutes.

* Pour large glass of coffee cooled, into blender

* Add a scoop (or two) or your favorite low coffee-flavored or coffee mocha ice cream into blender and blend until mixture is smooth.

* Top with a pinch of nutmeg and swirls of pure dark chocolate. Voila – this is an incredible iced coffee!

Easy to make and serve as a many as your coffee make will make. This is my very favorite summer drink.

ps.  I found an amazing Kalorik Coffee maker here that I just love.
