I start every morning with a cup of black coffee made by the husband. Black coffee is easy enough to make yourself at home, but what about frozen coffee? I have finally found a good recipe to make this wonderful treat for myself at home. Now I don't have to give my $4 to the local coffee shop every time I want one.

1 cup coffee liqueur
3/4 sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 cup half-and-half or milk

-Process half of first 5 ingredients in a blender until smooth. Pour coffee mixture into a large pitcher. Repeat with remaining half of first 5 ingredients, and pour into pitcher.

I omit the coffee liqueur, but you can make it according to your tastes. I also cut the recipe in half.
