I am a coffee lover. I do not drink it every day, but when I drink it, it is a delight. Sometimes I just need that delicious flavor even in the afternoons and especially after a special meal. Yumm! On a hot summer day a big, fat refreshing iced cold beverage sure does help cool me off. Like many, I love iced coffee with delicious additions like mocha, caramel and other yummy flavors. Eight O’clock Coffee has some terrific ways to enjoy an iced coffee or if you would rather a delicious coffee Milkshake to cool off in this blazing heat!
Eight O’Clock Coffee has come up with a simple Coffee Milkshake recipe you can whip up in no time. Make it anytime to cool down this summer and get a refreshing jolt of that lovely caffeine that we need every now and then! Hmmm I think some lovely coffee ice cream would taste wonderful right now! Let’s Whip one up!
Banana-Rama Eight O’Clock Coffee Milkshake Recipe
1 1/2 cups cold Eight O’Clock Coffee Original Blend
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
1 Banana
2 Tbsp chocolate syrup
Crushed ice
*If you really want to pump up the coffee flavor, start by crushing frozen coffee ice cubes.
Preparation:
Combine ingredients in a blender, blend until smooth. Top with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired.
Variation:
Switch to chocolate ice cream for a truly chocolatey treat!
I decided to make this milkshake the other night as a treat for my guys and it come out so good! Oh My! I made one with a banana for the hubby who loves chocolate and banana and then I made one without the banana for my son and I. The coffee flavor was just right and with the bit of chocolate syrup added in it made an awesome combination of flavors. It was nice and easy as I used some Eight O’Clock coffee left over from the morning that I put in the fridge. You have to try this! Delicous!
Also if you love Iced Coffee in the mornings or as a lovely afternoon treat, here is some tips on how to save money by making your own at home! Those morning trips to the coffee shop add up quickly, especially when you’re swapping out hot coffee for iced coffee. Iced coffee usually costs at least 25% more than hot coffee. Use these tips from Eight O’Clock Coffee to make your own delicious iced coffee at home and keep costs down.
For a Quick Fix: Brew your coffee in the morning and stick it in the freezer. In a half hour, when you’re finished getting ready for your day, you’ll have an iced coffee ready and waiting for you.
Make Use of That Leftover Coffee: There’s normally a few cups of coffee left at the end of the day from that pot you brewed in the a.m. Instead of dumping it, put it in a container and store it in the fridge. You’ll have iced coffee ready to go at any time.
Don’t Get Watered Down: Make coffee ice cubes to use in your iced coffee—you won’t have to worry about your coffee being watered down.
Stay Strong: If you are pouring your coffee over regular ice cubes, brew your coffee about 25 percent stronger. When the ice melts, your coffee will still be strong.
Mix It Up: Become your own ‘brewista’ and create frozen drinks like the “Eight O’Clock Mocha Freeze” or the “Banana-rama Eight O’Clock Coffee Milkshake”.
