Debra's Iced Coffee

My sister-in-law, Debra, introduced our family to a new, cool treat. Put several Tablespoons of the following mixture into milk, stir, and add ice cubes, and there you go!

Boil together:
2 cups water
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup instant coffee

Take off heat.

Then add 2-3 T. Vanilla

Store in fridge.

Options:
Add 1/2 cup caramel sauce to boiling mixture
for a coffee caramel treat.
You could also add cocoa or chocolate syrup.
Why not chocolate syrup and coconut extract
for an almond joy kick?
Or mint extract and chocolate syrup for a chocolate-
mint delight?

You could make up several different kinds,
put them in pint jars and label them,
and help yourself several times a day,
especially if you use decaf coffee.

I have been using a bit of half-and half and water instead of milk.

It's a wonderful treat on these hot summer days!

Oh that sounds good! I was just sitting her thinking I was thirsty and sleepy. This kills both with the same stone and tastes good too!
