Excellent! I cut this down to 4 servings using the tool on Zaar and came up with these measurements: 1/8 C instant coffee 1/8 C sugar (I use Splenda) 1 C cold water 1/2 tsp vanilla 1/4 C half & Half (I used fat free) 1 egg (I used 1/2 C egg beaters) 1 pint vanilla ice cream This stuff is so good. I can just imagine drinking it on a hot summer evening....I'm thinking that adding some chocolate syrup for a mocha flavor would be great too.

Since she loved Recipezaar so much and so many on Recipezaar have shown their love for her, and have enjoyed her recipes, her personal information will remain here indefinitely just as she wrote it. Her lines at the end of this section sound somewhat prophetic as the last chapter of her earthly existence has been written.)
Well, the time has come for me to change my users' name. After being, "OzCoMartha" because of having lived for three years in Australia and then moving to Colorado, I have decided to "turn over a new leaf." I chose this name because many moons ago I used to be able to "chirp" like a cricket and the "silent" refers to the present time when I'm taking a break...But, perhaps after a season, however long I decide that needs to be, I may be back and then I will fill in more details about myself...
