If only a few table- spoons of the clear, brown liquid remain it is enough for flavoring some delicate dessert. If it cannot be used at once, keep it in a corked bottle in the refrigerator. In hot weather, when iced coffee is one of the most refreshing drinks, left-over coffee need never go a-begging. The daintiest way to serve it is in goblets with a few shavings of ice and a spoonful of whipped cream floating on top. When it is to be used as a chilled beverage, sweeten it while hot and let it cool several hours before using. If well chilled, it will require less ice and thus lose less of its strength. MOCHA CREAM FROSTING ] I cup butter I cup sugar J cup strong coffee Made Palatable 29 Cook the coffee and sugar together till a thick sirup is the result. Cool it.
