Keep Cool Coffee Cooler

Love coffee drinks but don't like the prices of them.

This recipe is easy and affordable.

This recipe is great for relaxing on a hot day, unwinding after a hard day, entertaining during brunch or anytime.

I've use decaffeinated coffee but you can also use regular coffee if desired.

This recipe has Kahlua in it.

For kiddos you can omit it, if desired 

I've also use low-fat milk and real whipped cream but you can also use whole milk, vegan milk or dairy free whipped cream if desired.

I prefer my coffee sugar free but you can adjust amount of sweetener if desired too.

2 - 4 c. decaf coffee
1/8 - 1 c. reduced fat milk (optional)
1 - 3 T. Kahlua
1/4 - 1 T. each: chocolate syrup, instant espresso granules, sugar (optional)
Whipped cream

Brew coffee according to desired strength. Turn coffee maker off and let cool.

Pour some of the coffee into a clean ice cube tray, put tray in the freezer until frozen.

 Set aside rest of coffee to use later.

When you're ready to serve, remove ice tray from freezer.

In a blender combine frozen coffee cubes, milk, Kahlua, espresso granules. 

Add sugar or dietetic sweetener if desired.

Blend for 20 - 40 seconds or until blended.

Pour into glasses. 

Garnish glasses with a dollop of whipped cream, chocolate syrup and an environmentally safe straw, if desired.

Serves 4.
