From Mama’s Kitchen – Frosted Coffee

Pretty warm weather here for the past several days. It’s the heat AND the humidity.

The remedy? Iced coffee.

Here’s a recipe from the 1931 General Electric “The “Silent Hostess” Treasure Book”.

Frosted coffee

2 tablespoons coffee syrup
1 cup milk
Vanilla ice cream

Put syrup, milk and a heaping tablespoon of ice cream into shaker, or tightly covered jar, and shake well. Pour into tall glass and serve more ice cream on top, if desired. (Use one tablespoon syrup if a less sweet drink is preferred.)

Coffee Syrup

1 cup sugar
1 cup strong coffee

Put sugar and coffee in a saucepan and stir until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil and boil without stirring for about 10 minutes. Cool. Pour into covered jar and keep in refrigerator, using as needed.
