- ½ cup of French roast or espresso coffee

- 4 cups of water

-1 teaspoon of grated orange peel

1 ½ cups of skim milk

- Tablespoons of sugar or sugar substitute

Make a pot of coffee as you would usually, but add one teaspoon of shredded orange peel to the coffee. Poor the coffee into a pitcher and add the sugar or sugar substitute. Then add the milk. Make sure the pitcher is heat-resistant so that it won't crack when you pour in the hot coffee. Then place the pitcher of coffee in the fridge to chill.

Fill 6 glasses with ice cubes and poor the coffee over the cubes.

Garnish with orange peel strips and grated chocolate.
