CHOC ICE RECIPES
There are few better ways to transform a moment of dazing summer heat into one of cool relaxation than a deliciously refreshing iced coffee. By brewing your cold coffees fresh, you can preserve the delicious flavours and aromas that would otherwise be lost to staling, meaning tastier refreshment with each cup.
Enter Choc Ice; composed to be the foundation to your summer refreshment, and to transport you to that chocolate-covered ice cream crunch with each sip. A texturally rich pairing of Sitio Da Torre from Brazil and Altamira de Chirripó from Costa Rica, we’ve roasted Choc Ice to shine when enjoyed cold, delivering texture and richness in equal measure across the full spectrum of iced drinks.
From the clean and classic Iced Aerocano, to the show-stopping Mont Blanc, below, we’ve put together a series of Choc Ice recipes you can brew to keep the refreshments flowing throughout the hotter months.
