You should know all about my love affair with coffee by now, and if you don't, you will soon! I love coffee like I never knew I could or even would! The smell of those yummy beans brewing starts my day in delight! I drink it hot year round, 3-4 cups in the morning makes for a good day! It was only a few years ago when I discovered Mo lattes from Dairy Queen, what a treat! And now McDonald's has Fares, another wow moment and the only thing I go to McDonald's for, their coffee is excellent but who can afford those pricey iced coffee drinks? Not me, so guess what? I found a super easy recipe for us to make them right at home. Now, from the links I visited, there seems to be a science to making them, some say use double strength coffee, or cold brew? So, I played around with the best of the bunch and here is my recipe for my favorite way to drink coffee cold, in mocha form!
Mocha Chiller
1 c. extra strong brewed coffee
Sugar to taste
1 c. half & half
1/4 c. chocolate syrup ( more if you like but at least 1/4 c.)
Ice cubes
Whip cream
Brew coffee and add sugar while still hot to dissolve. Combine coffee, half and half, and chocolate syrup in pitcher, stir well to combine. Serve over ice and top with whip cream, which is optional. Enjoy!
Doesn't that hit the spot on a hot day while at work or play? And so much cheaper. Join me in a summer love fest with coffee, hot and cold! Now, treat yourself to something nice with the money you are saving by making this at home! Happy Tasty Tuesday!
Oh yum.. thanks, Sue! -Tammy

Sue! Thanks for the iced coffee recipe, I've never tried iced coffee. I'm thinking I need to try it. I work a part time job and the girls always have those iced coffee drinks from McDonald's. I want to say I feel so blessed that I can count on you to leave me a comment on my blog. I actually know that most times you will leave me a comment. Thank you for our blog friendship and for saying that I have talent. That really means a lot to me.
ReplyDeleteLove ya to stitches....
Sandy :)
Many prayers and blessing to you!
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI found your blog not so long ago and I like it very much !!
Cold coffee, I never thought of it, but this recipe sure sounds yummy. Here in The Netherlands we usually dink it hot and since a few years there are a few brands that make iced coffee here. It isn't very popular yet, because it's rather new.
I will have to try this recipe though, there's chocolat in it ; )
Have a wonderful day and I will be visiting again soon !!
Sounds scrumptious, and I love the look of your home!
ReplyDeleteI have GOTTA TRY THIS!
ReplyDeleteYOU ARE MY HERO.
Now I have a way to use up those last coupla cups out of the pot that got a little too strong as the day wore on. Mmmm sounds really good! Especially with whip cream.
CHEERS!
Yum....this sounds wonderful! I'll be printing it and making it this weekend - it's supposed to be humid and in the 90's.

I declare, Ms Sue! I think I need to start a new recipe section in my collection just for your coffee recipes:)
ReplyDeleteNow, I'm not really a "coffee drinker", but I do love that aroma of grinding the beans and brewing! BUT...I do love cappuccino and these iced coffee drinks. My fav is Panera Bread's Iced Mocha Coffee (it is expensive!) so I've been whipping up these recipes in my Blendtec at home ~ yummy!!!
Thanks for sharing,
Hugz,

Let me know...
I will share this with my daughter. She is going to love it!!!
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful 4th! We did. Love being with family!
