Iced Mocha
Yield:
2 servings
Tips:
Even before there was a Starbuck's on every corner, Americans,
who always drank iced tea, never drank iced coffee. Why? I don't
have an answer to that question, except for this simple recipe.
It's nice on a hot afternoon or for an after-dinner drink, though
it's not one for the kids.
It's
easy to change the liqueur here to suit your tastes; an almond
or orange liqueur would be a nice change of pace. I've tried
this with a splash of milk in it, but it didn't seem to work
well, as the milk diluted the flavor. Make sure the coffee-cinnamon-chocolate
syrup mixture is cold before proceeding. You can either chill
it or place it in a larger, shallower container half full of
ice and cold water for about 10 minutes, stirring the mixture
occasionally.
Ingredients:
-
1
Tbsp. instant coffee granules
-
1 large pinch ground cinnamon
-
1/4 cup boiling water
-
2 Tbsp. chocolate syrup
-
1 cup very cold water
-
1 Tbsp. white OR brown crème de cacao
In
medium heatproof bowl, combine coffee granules and cinnamon.
All at once, add boiling water; stir or whisk well to dissolve.
Add chocolate syrup; stir to dissolve thoroughly. Chill mixture
until cold before proceeding (see recipe introduction).
When
mixture is cold, stir again. Stir in cold water, then crème
de cacao.
Half-fill
two mugs or glasses, each of 10-ounce capacity, with small ice
cubes. Divide drink evenly between glasses, pouring carefully
over cubes. Allow to stand a minute or two before serving.
