Iced French Vanilla Coffee



Today Steven took Rebekah out for breakfast.  While they were gone and Grace was napping, the boys and I decided to make something new.  We tried making an iced coffee.  Caleb was all for this as he loves coffee.  Nicolas on the the other hand was not going to let something like that pass by his lips.  We made a compromise...Caleb and I had Iced French Vanilla Coffee and Nicolas had Iced French Vanilla Cocoa.  Rebekah came home just in time to join in the coffee fest with her brothers and I.  It has been a great morning to reflect on God's goodness in our lives as we celebrate resting in Him. 

What you will need:



1.  Put 1 - 2 c. ice cubes and 1/2 c. of your favorite flavored creamer into the blender.
2.  Pulse in blender until ice is well crushed.  It should make a thick mixture.  If you need to add more ice you can.
3.  Add about 1c. cooled coffee that has been brewed at 2 x the strength and blend.  (Add hot cocoa mix and 1/2 c. milk in place of coffee if desired.)  We didn't let the coffee cool the first time so our drinks weren't icy cold.
4.  Pour into 2 coffee mugs to serve.  Top with whipped cream and a drizzle of chocolate sauce

Enjoy!!!
