Brown Sugar Iced Coffee

Roxygirl in Colorado's Note:

I always drink a creamy coffee, whether it's hot or cold. I was surprised to enjoy this coffee so much. It's different in that it uses brown sugar. Note: the amount of coffee has been adjusted in the recipe, making for a more mild flavor

Hey Roxygirl, I made this today, but modified the recipe a bit. I heated 1 cup of water on the stove, then added 1 tablespoon of the instant coffee, and refrigerated it for 30 minutes. I then added it along with a 1/4 cup of half-and-half cream, plus 3 tablespoons of dark brown sugar, and the 6 ice cubes to my blender. Afterwards I poured the coffee mixture into an ice cube tray, and placed it in the freezer for exactly 1 hour. I then place the slightly frozen coffee cubes (along with any coffee liquid) into the blender, and blended it just for a few seconds. The end results, it was nice and icy. I topped my iced coffee with several dollops of Cool Whip. Boy was it ever good!! I don't know how this iced coffee tastes without adding the half-and-half cream, so I'm rating this recipe with that particular ingredient added. With or with out the Cool Whip, this is a very good tasting iced coffee. Thanx for the recipe Roxygirl. It's a keeper!!

I also made a few adjustments...like more instant coffee, and less water. I like to taste my coffee, but I think the brown sugar added a different touch. (a good one). The next time I'll try what Lilkari123 did w/the 1/2 and 1/2. Good idea!!..

This was awesome! It's gotten warm again in the Hinterland Autumn, and I was tired of iced tea, so this hit the spot...I've got three rambunctious little boys at home this afternoon, so I needed a little "pick me up" to keep up with them! Thanks Roxygirl! Made for PAC Fall 2007.
