IT'S ICED CAP SEASON AGAIN

Now that the weather is getting warmer it's getting that time of year again. Yep, it's time for Tim Horton's Iced Caps. There is nothing better on a warm day then a Tim Horton's Iced Cappuccino. Just the thought of one makes me all happy. Okay, so maybe I'm a little addicted to them, but it is one of the little pleasures in life that I can not resist.

Sometimes it isn't always possible for me to go to Tim Horton's to get an Iced Cap, so I have to make my own. Here is a recipe I found last year that is almost as good as Timmy's.

NOT QUITE TIM HORTON'S, BUT ALMOST AS GOOD ICE CAPS

1 cup of whole or 2% milk
1 heaping teaspoon of instant coffee
1 teaspoon of vanilla
6 ice cubes
4 teaspoons of sugar
Mix all in blender until ice is crushed. Pour in glass and drink with a straw.

I usually double the recipe because as soon as I make one for me, everyone wants one.

Go ahead and try them and let me know what you think of them.

I love iced coffee drinks... Amber and I make them quite often!

I've never heard of the kind you're talking about though... but sounds good!

BTW: I'll keep y'all posted on the prom dress happenings! I may have to do a dos and donts for prom dress shopping! That's cool that you got a great deal and knew someone at the shop! I wish I could find someone I know/a connection.

Not a coffee person. But I'm a chocolate addict, though. So, iced chocolate would sound good to me!
