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 Semi-skimmed 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.
