Summer Refresher

This is a lovely recipe for the heat. You can obviously modify it to your own taste.

3 TBSP instant decaf coffee
2 1/2 cups boiled water
sugar/splenda
6 cups milk (approximate)
chocolate syrup/flavored creamer/vanilla

Mix the coffee and water together in a small bowl. Add sugar or a combination of sugar and chocolate syrup, splenda, flavored creamer, to create a base that is sweet enough for the milk as well as what you've already mixed. It really depends on how sweet you want it and how many calories you're willing to ingest. Stir this to disolve everything then pour it into a 13X9 metal baking pan. Add milk and stir. Place pan in the freezer for about 3 hours. It should not be completely frozen, maybe half frozen. Break it up and pour the ice and liquid parts together into the blender and blend. This makes about three 12 oz servings. Josh and Amber and I enjoyed these a few times this summer so far. I mix it up quickly before dinner at 5:30 and then by the time the kids are in bed and the house is picked up it is ready for us to relax with. I hope you are all staying cool

If I liked coffee, that sounds like it would be lovely. AS for the heat - the A/C is taking care of that these past few days. :)
