My Homemade Coffee Frappe..!!!


I love Iced Coffee which takes me back to the childhood, when we didn't have much choices. Ice coffee was one of my favorite cold drinks and still it is. Weather is getting warmer and I made some yesterday to my own recipe..!! This is my version of homemade Iced Coffee Frappe. It is economical and easy to make. No blender mixer needed for a quick fix..!!!

  






Ingredients for 1 serving

1 coffee capsule or 1 level tsp. instant coffee mixed with 4 tbs. hot water
1/4 cup milk
2-3 scoops of Ice Cream ( or mixture of vanilla/coffee/chocolate)



Brew the coffee in the machine or if using instant coffee mix the coffee with hot water and set aside. 
Place 3 scoops of ice cream (one in each flavour or the flavour of your choice) in a glass.






Pour coffee over it,then the cold milk.




Stir with a long spoon and keep on stirring as you drink with the straw.

EGGNOG !!!!...







I love Old fashioned food. I made this last festive season, eggnog from the scratch and it was delicious. Recipe was very easy, Here is my version of EGGNOG!!















4 eggs separated
2 cups sugar
1 cup double cream
2.5 cups milk
4 tbs cognac
grated nutmeg









I preferred the cooked version. Cook four egg yolks in a double boiler with milk and grated nutmeg while whisking until thick and pale.Switch off the pan and add cream and cognac. Stir it well and refrigerate until well chilled. Once the custard is chilled whisk the egg white with sugar until and thick and foamy. Fold it into the custard until all mix through and and chill it for three four hours. Once well chilled serve it in glasses with grated nutmeg on top..!!!!
