This small corner of our kitchen gets me going each and every day. It holds

an eclectic mix of coffee cups from Kate (spade) to Ralph (Lauren) to Starbucks

gold dots. I pull together the spiked coffee, cocoa

and star anise flavored ice cubes right here.

 Sweetened natural cocoa powder

Star anise {licorice flavored star shaped pod}

A drop or two of Pernod ~ a licorice flavored liqueur

 Pop a few  sugar cubes, the cocoa and star anise in a cup, along with

the Pernod. Add hot coffee and whisk. You determine the strength.

{ You can also warm up your morning coffee pot leftovers.}

Next, pour the coffee into chunky ice cube molds and freeze.

Once frozen, add a few cubes to a glass and pour in some milk! Almond milk is

fabulous with these cubes!

gloriously thickens…
