When I was living in Yerushalayim, being far from family meant that friends filled that void. Whenever a vort (engagement party), Chanukah party, or another occasion was celebrated at home without us, it was an excuse for some neighborly TLC and a get-together with my neighbors, whether it was a party we planned or just a spontaneous shmooze on the front steps of our building. My neighbor Esther M. used to bring this iced coffee to any party that took place in our building. I miss all those shmoozes over coffee.

Directions

1. In a large bowl, combine coffee, chocolate syrup, sugars, and liqueur with boiling water and mix until dissolved.

2. Stir in milk and serve.

Tips:

For that extra slushy coffee, prepare the coffee mixture and keep it separate from the milk. Freeze milk in ice cube trays and then blend to create a slush. Once blended, add coffee mixture and mix.
