While it may not look like much in the photo, this is a lovely summer drink - all I needed to improve on this were some cold brew ice cubes, which are in the freezer now (for next time).
I have been making cold brew for a few weeks now and have found that my preference leans towards Vietnamese iced coffee: cold brew made with a ratio of 2 tablespoons of French roast per 6 oz of water, overnight in the fridge, passed through a filter, tarted up with a tablespoon or so of sweetened condensed milk and - yum - I am ready to go for the day.
This afternoon I wanted a cold drink but I also was craving something sweet and came up with this to fill both of those needs: 2 tsps cocoa powder, 1 tsp of sugar and a pinch of salt stirred into 1 tablespoon of boiling water in a large glass until the sugar has melted and formed a smooth paste with the chocolate, topped up with equal amounts of iced cold brew (prepared as mentioned above omitting the condensed milk) and cold whole milk. As I said above, coffee ice cubes were missed but, none the less, this was refreshing and an excellent afternoon pick me up when energy and blood sugar were low!
