Summer Coolers ~ Iced Cocoa-Coffee

Cold coffee and raw papaya salad

During summers this is a kind of drink I really relish, absolutely chilled cocoa coffee. Brilliant flavor. I made it the other day along with green papaya salad. Neither too strong nor mild, the smooth balance of coffee-chocolate taste and aroma with an addictive flavor made my palate crave for more. Simply irresistable, perfect summer drink.

    Hi Sailu

    Thanks for your recipe. As an avid fan of your blog and your cooking I have imprinted most of your recipes and their pictures in my mind. Staying in the UK, I browse various websites for recipes and I happened to peep into the recipes published by an online version of a Pakistani newpaper and instantly recognise the picture since most of your chicken recipes are presented in a copper vessel and the pic matches perfectly with your spicy chicken masala curry recipe. I have pasted the link below…

    What a shame that such a reputed paper has stooped so low..
    Just wanted to bring to your attention before the link stops working.

    Thank you, Priti, for informing me. It’s unfortunate.

    Sailu, when we were growing up, mom used to make one cold coffee which I used to like too much even though I am not a coffee fan. Your post has brought back the fond memories. Thanks a lot. I am going to try your version today :),

  14. Arpitha on June 19th, 2007 at 1:43 pm:

    Hi Sailu,
    I visit your blog often and admire your photography. Do you mind sharing the make of your camera? Do you use any photographic lighting accessories when shooting? Have you taken any photography courses? Please let me know.

    Arpitha.

    Thank you, Arpita. I use a DSC-W7 Sony digi cam. I take all my pictures in natural light, most of the time before noon, sometimes during late afternoon too but never after 4 p.m. I haven’t taken any courses.

    Looks marvelous, Sailaja!

  16. Padma on June 23rd, 2007 at 6:34 pm:

    Was very yummy. My husband said tastes like starbucks. A little strong and we added a little more sugar than was recommended. Really yummy. Thanks for the recipe.

  17. sumitha on June 24th, 2007 at 11:43 am:

    Dear Sailu, I have just had a Sailu special week here in my home. First I made pesarattu, this ice coffee, then yesterday night pepper chicken and today morning coconut coriander chutney. What do I say Sailu, they were all just flawless! I really look forward to more recipes from you and can’t thank you enough!
    I wish immensely that you would soon post a chicken/mutton biryani recipe. I read that it is your most fav food too.
    I love reading your Ayurvedic posts too. Do share more such tips with us. I was amazed reading about the drumstick trees usefulness too!

    Your most welcome, Sumitha. I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipes. I prepare quite a few versions of biryani but haven’t blogged biryani yet. Will definitely post a biryani recipe.

    Hey Sailu,
    Do you know if instant coffee is sold in American stores? If so what brand?

    Appreciate your time.

    Nina, I’m not sure since I don’t live in US.

  19. Nina on July 5th, 2007 at 12:27 pm:

    Thanks for writing back. I should check with my friends who are coffee lovers. I am not a great coffee fan, but your recipe and the pictures are very tempting to attempt:). Great work!
