THREE coffee flavoured treats to keep you cool
At Henry’s Coffee and Events we love a warm cup of coffee. But when temperatures start rising to a tropical level, it can be difficult to keep enjoying our favourite hot beverage as much as we would like. But do not worry, there are alternative ways to enjoy coffee! In this article we will compile a few delicious cold coffee treats so you can get your coffee fix even when it is thirty degrees outside.
1 – Eiskaffee
The term “eiskaffee,” is the German name for iced coffee. But this delicious treat contains much more than just coffee and ice. Although coffee and vanilla are often the primary flavours, any other toppings can be added to jazz it up. Don’t pass up the chance to go all out if you’re preparing your own; common additions include whipped cream, chocolate syrup, and chocolate shavings.
