If you are Canadian, today is the start of a long weekend to celebrate the Queen's Birthday. Richard granted me permission to post the following recipe and it is my gift to you. After you make this, Timmy's and Starbucks will become but faint memories.
Richard's Iced Cappuccino
1 can evaporated milk
10 cups really strong brewed coffee (dark roast is best), cooled to room temperature.
2/3 cup sugar (brown or white, it makes no difference)
2 tsp vanilla
1-2 cups regular milk
Combine evaporated milk and sugar in a microwavable container and cook on HIGH 6 minutes, stirring at least twice. The goal is to scald the milk and caramelize the sugar a bit. Combine milk/sugar mixture with cooled coffee and add vanilla. Add more milk to taste, and chill well.
Now the fun begins: pour over ice cubes and sip on your deck in the sun. For a frothy frappuccino just put your cappuccino in your blender with ice then top the mixture with whipped cream, chocolate sauce and a sprinkle of cinnamon. Irish Creme, Khalua, Creme de Cacao, or your favourite shnapps added makes a yummy adult drink.
Makes just over 2 litres, so make it for your next barbeque!
Use your imagination and let me know what you come up with!.
