Happy 4th of July! Hope everyone is staying cool out there on this summer holiday.
Here’s a little treat I like to enjoy on any hot summer day - cooling cup of Vanilla coffee. Or should I say “coffee float” just like “root beer float”. I think it taste better than coffee ice cream!
It’s very easy to make. Just a few scoops of vanilla ice cream mixed to a cup of fresh brewed coffee.
The coffee of choice is Melitta 100% Arabic medium roast coffee. And for ice cream, it’s California’s local creamery, Crystal’s triple vanilla.
A little info about Melitta Coffee:
* Made with 100% high altitude grown Arabica beans
* Melitta accepts only 2% of all coffee beans sampled
* These higher quality beans are primarily sourced from smaller family farms
* Kosher certified
I tried using one scoop of ice cream. But found out using all 3 scoops was best. I also like to let some float to the top and enjoy with a spoon. Or let the vanilla ice cream melt and it’ll taste just like a good cup of cafe au lait.

When I made this I was also thinking of your grass jelly and coffee. I think it’s time I make one of those soon.
