Coffee Recipes

Great Recipes for our Coffee blends, Hot & Cold

Iced Coffee

Since the coffee is generally diluted with milk or cream it should be very strong.

So therefore increase the proportion of coffee. Put a little crushed ice into each glass, add about 2/3 very cold coffee, the fill with cold milk or thin cream; or use milk, and top the glass with thick cream and a little grated plain chocolate. When topped with cream serve with a long spoon.

Or

Iced Coffee over Ice Cubes

  • Brew extra strength coffee using 1 tablespoon to 4 oz. of water
  • Pour over ice cubes
  • Add sugar or cream if desired

Note: The extra strength coffee is important so that when the iced melts it does not dilute the coffee.

Or

Iced Coffee with Ice Coffee Cubes

  • Brew regular strength coffee and freeze it in ice cube trays
  • Fill glasses with the coffee cubes and pour regular strength coffee over them
  • Add sugar or cream if desired

An Espresso-Based Frozen Drink

Recipe (makes 2 medium-sized frozen drinks)

  • 4 shots of espresso - or Dark Roast Coffee
  • 1/4 cup of white sugar - - it is best to mix the sugar in with hot espresso to ensure that the sugar dissolves
  • 2.5 cups of either whole or SemiSkimed milk
  • 1 tablespoon of pectin
  • At least 2 cups of ice - - that's about 1 cup of ice per drink serving, depending on your blender

Preparation Tips

  • If you don't have pectin, it can be skipped, but this element does help the drink to "feel" right when compared to the shop-bought drinks.
  • The pectin will combine with any undissolved sugar and thicken the mixture, so be sure to stir mixture prior to pouring it in the blender and adding the ice.
