Well, bless my heart, London’s been treatin’ us to some right fine hot and sunny weather, and shucks, I can’t help but think ’bout iced coffee all day long.
I reckon I’ve been guzzlin’ down a version of that refreshing ice cold brew every doggone day. Can y’all blame me?
Started with the old faithful, simply mixin’ up a shot of coffee, a generous splash of non-dairy milk and ice cubes.
Don’t get me wrong now, I’m still head over boots for that classic iced coffee.
But here lately, I’ve begun playin’ around with different flavors and spices – particularly chocolate. Who in tarnation doesn’t love a fine iced mocha? Sure as shootin’, I do.
But my new top-dog favorite’s got a bit of a kick to it. Chilli, cinnamon, nutmeg and vanilla.
It’s just somethin’ else! Creamy-like, got some spice to it but still mighty refreshing.
And it ain’t no big chore neither. Just chuck all them ingredients into a blender, give it a whirl and finish her off with some coconut cream on top. That cream’ll melt nice n’ slow into the mocha making it even creamier-like.
