Iced Tea cubes

Lazy Afternoon Java Chillers

* 2 c. cold coffee (I use leftovers from the morning)
* 1 c. vanilla or coffee-flavored ice cream
* 8 ice cubes
* Whipped topping
* Shaved chocolate or chocolate sprinkles

Combine coffee, ice cream and ice cubes in your blender. Blend until ice cubes are crushed and mixture is homogenous.

Pour the chiller mixture into 2 tall glasses and garnish with whipped topping and chocolate shavings or sprinkles. Yum!
