Intro: Summer is at its peak and nothing beats the heat more than a drink with lots of ice. While you must be trying your hands at different mocktails with seasonal fruits and a generous helping of crushed ice, already, we recommend you give your coffee a twist. Lavazza, the Italian coffee brand, shares three recipes for a creamy and chocolaty sip, and all you need to do is throw in some ice-cream, vanilla essence or chocolate syrup, and we bet you can make café style drinks at home.

1 espresso cup of coffee (mocha pot)
