I want a coffee! Reed got me hooked on coffee, specifically espresso, after his trip to France. I found a really good recipe for ice coffee (caffe freddo) on the blog Bleeding Espresso.Caffe Freddo:
Make a large pot of espresso or other coffee of your liking. After the coffee is done, add sugar, stir completely, and let cool. Refrigerate for a few hours or over night. After the espresso has cooled completely, add ice cubes and milk to the cold, sweetened coffee. Yum! Do not drink this before bed time!
