Mocha Iced Coffee

Directions

1. Add 12 cups of water to a standard coffee pot, and in the filter basket place 3 to 6 tablespoons of coffee, depending on how strong you want the finished coffee to be.
2. In a heat-proof half-gallon pitcher combine cocoa, sugar and cream. (Powdered creamer may be used instead of heavy cream, but increase the powdered measurement to 1 full cup.)
3. When the coffee is done brewing, simply pour into the pitcher and, with a slotted mixing spoon, whisk it around until blended.
4. Add 3 tbsp. vanilla extract for flavor and check for sweetness; individual taste varies. Cool, then refrigerate for 2 hours, pour over ice and serve.
5. Serve with whipped topping and cinnamon stick stirrers, and mint leaves in your glass. (optional)
