Ingredients

  • 2 cups coffee brewed strong, or espresso
  • cup sugar granulated
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 ea mint leaf optional garnish

Instructions

  • Whisk sugar into strong brewed coffee (or espresso) until dissolved
  • place in pan and freeze (2 hours, or overnight)
  • remove from freezer and allow to thaw slightly, then scrape into chunks into serving glass (eg. martini glass)
  • top with whipped cream and cinnamon powder, or mint leaf

Notes

The most important thing in this recipe is a delicious, properly brewed coffee. Here are some tips to help you make a coffee-house worthy brew:
  • Make sure you buy fresh, whole bean coffee
  • Grind immediately before brewing
  • Store your coffee beans in air-tight jars
  • Use filtered water
Use a large pan for the coffee so that it's in a thin layer - this makes the scraping portion simpler.
