Gourmet Coffee Recipes - Greek Iced Coffee Recipe

Greek Iced Coffee
Thanks to Jeannie for sending in this Coffee Creation Recipe...

1 tablespoon instant coffee
3/4 cup of cold water
sugar to taste
milk to taste
crushed iced (to your liking)
a cocktail shaker

Take the one tablespoon of coffee and put it into the cocktail
shaker. If you like sweet coffee you can put your desired amount
of sugar also. Add a little bit of water to dilute the coffee and
sugar in order to make a small paste and dissolve the two ingredients
very well. Add water and desired amount of crushed ice. Add some
milk if you desire, Shake vigorously until the coffee comes out of
the cocktail shaker all thick. The crushed ice helps the mixture
become thick and creamy. Strain into tall glass and serve. Milk
can be substituted for all or some of the water if one desires,
but this is not the authentic way. This works equally well with
European imitation coffee that one can get in a health food store.
