Summer

Recently I made a recipe of a beverage we love during the summer.Iced Coffee.We keep the concentrate in the fridge and it's simple and very quick to make a refreshing treat in the afternoon or evening.







Easy and delicious iced coffee

2 Cups boiling water
1 Cup sugar
1/2 Cup Instant coffee
1/4 Cup Caramel syrup (Or your own favorite)
1 tsp. Vanilla
Mix all together and chill

1 serving of coffee =

4 oz. ice
1/4 cup mix
1 cup milk
Stir and top with Whipped Cream

For a low calorie treat
~ replace sugar with Splenda
~use coffee syrup that is calorie, sugar and fat free
~use a lower fat content milk

Also...

I love Raspberries! I love Ice cream!Somewhere I came across this wonderful recipe combining these 2 ingredients and tried it...not only does it look beautiful it tasted WONDERFUL!




Raspberry Cheesecake Shake

1 12-oz. pkg. frozen raspberries, thawed
1 3-oz. pkg cream cheese, softened
1/4 teaspoon almond extract
1 qt. vanilla ice cream, softened
1 12-oz. cans cream soda

Combine raspberries, cream cheese, almond extract, half the ice cream and 1/2 cup of the cream soda in a blender. Cover and blend until smooth.

Divide mixture into tall chilled glasses. Add a scoop of ice cream to each drink and top with remaining cream soda. Garnish with fresh raspberries.

If you get a chance try one and be refreshed!
