On a hot day, refreshing and not terrible for you! I think this drink tastes better than the expensive commercial version.

Reviews
very good
This recipe was great. The only different thing I did was to add 1/4 teaspoon of chile powder to give it an El Diablo kick. Also used Dutch process cocoa, amazing! It was great! I thought the batter was a bit much for the loaf pan so filled some in a 12 ct muffin pan, so I had a dozen muffins and this great loaf. Thanks for the recipe.
This recipe is great! My husband loved it. The only charge I did was to add about a tablespoon of instant coffee. The spices add a pleasant punch.
