How to Make an Iced Cappuccino

Iced Cap, the ultimate dessert! No matter the weather, it's pleasure in a plastic Container.

  1. Throw about a tray of ice cubes or crushed ice in the blender.
  2. Then add the milk, about 3/4 full.
  3. Now add 2 and a half tbsp. of coffee powder.
  4. Half a cup of sugar, yes half a cup!(or maybe 3/4 of a cup depending how sweet you want it)
  5. Then add half a cup of Chocolate Syrup! ;)
  6. Blend it all up and enjoy!

Taste test the Ice Cap Every time you blend to get the perfect flavor!


  • DO NOT fill the mixture to the top, because when you blend it all together, the Iced Cap will produce foam, which can create a nasty mess when removing the blender's lid!
  • Always wash your hands before and after making an Iced cap, germs can enter the blender from your hands and you can get very sick!

Moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm

Consider this news item...

Coffee Health Risks: For the moderate drinker, coffee is safe says Harvard Women’s Health Watch.

Despite 20 years of reassuring research, many people still avoid caffeinated coffee because they worry about its health effects. However, current research reveals that in moderation—a few cups a day—coffee is a safe beverage that may even offer some health benefits. The September issue of Harvard Women's Health Watch weighs the pros and cons of this popular beverage and eases the concerns of moderate coffee drinkers.

The latest research has not only confirmed that moderate coffee consumption doesn't cause harm, it's also uncovered possible benefits. Coffee may reduce the risk of developing gallstones, discourage the development of colon cancer, improve cognitive function, reduce the risk of liver damage in people at high risk for liver disease, and reduce the risk of Parkinson's disease. Coffee has also been shown to improve endurance performance in long-duration physical activities.
