Maple Chocolate iced "coffee"

Ingredients

  • 16 oz prepared Tea that Tastes Like Coffee
  • 2-3 TB Maple Syrup
  • 1/2-1 TB of cacao
  • 1/2 tsp maca root powder totally optional, see notes
  • 6-8 ice cubes
  • 3 generous scoops of maple ice cream

Instructions

  • Steep 1 TB of this Tea that Tastes Like Coffee in 16 oz of hot water for 2 minutes. (Or make your own homemade healthy tea that tastes like coffee.)
  • Stir in maple syrup, cacao, and (optional) maca root powder.
  • Add 6-8 ice cubes and stir well.
  • Add 2 generous scoops of maple ice cream and stir again.
  • Top with 1 more scoop of maple ice cream and enjoy.

Notes

  • If you don't have maple ice cream, first of all why not? It's super easy and you will never want to buy junky ice cream with ingredients you can't pronounce again. But I digress.. feel free to use whatever ice cream you have on hand or just add a few more ice cubes. Chocolate Maple Iced Coffee is delicious without the ice cream twist.
  • If you want to skip the cacao (or use cocoa powder) that's also totally fine. Maple Iced Coffee is still a good bet.
  • If you want the coffee jolt, of course I'm sure you know this recipe would be heavenly with the real McCoy.
  • Maca is totally optional, but I add maca root powder to a lot of things, because it is reported to improve energy levels, help with cognitive function, and even may protect skin from UV damage. Plus its nutty, butterscotch-like taste is an added bonus to this already amazing drink.
