Iced Cocoa-Coffee

Who needs Starbucks when you can make your own delicious iced coffee drinks right in your own kitchen? I'm a coffe-holic. I love the stuff. Can't get enough of it. But I also can't afford to drink a venti iced mocha at Starbucks every day. And now that they're raising their prices... forget it. Here's a reasonable facsimile.

Iced Cocoa-Coffee

• 2 cups low fat ice cold milk
  
• 1 cup hot water
  
• 1 1/4 tbsp unsweetened cocoa pwd
  
• 1 1/2 tbsp instant espresso pwd (adjust for taste)
  
• 1 1/2 tbsps brown sugar (adjust for taste or leave out)
  
• 2-3 drops vanilla essence
  
• 1 tbsp fresh cream
  
• pinch of cinnamon pwd
  

1. Combine the cocoa pwd, instant coffee pwd, cinnamon and brown sugar.
   
2. Add hot water and mix well till the sugar has dissolved completely.
   
3. Cool.
   
4. Add chilled milk and mix well.
   
5. Chill for an hour or so.
   
6. Just before serving, add some cream, vanilla essence and cinnamon powder and blend till frothy.
   
7. Serve chilled.
