Flavor makes a good Gourmet Iced coffee


Instant coffee is convenient and fast, however, we suggest brewing some strong coffee in a standard drip or percolator pot. Remove it from the heat, and put it in a bottle in the refrigerator. To really make the individual glass of gourmet iced coffee, fill a large glass with ice. For the regular “vanilla mocha” sort of flavor, pour about ¾ full of coffee, then add sweetener to taste and a few drops of vanilla. If you are going to use flavored or chocolate syrups such as capella flavor then you may want to sweeten it partially with an alternative sweetener, then finish it with the flavored or chocolate syrup. Stir sweetener, ice and coffee briefly to blend. Pour in milk or half & half to fill glasses, stir again. Top with a spoon of whipped cream, sprinkle with cinnamon and a drizzle of chocolate or caramel syrup, and serve with a straw.
