It's been a record hot summer, but it's also been amazingly fun. There was so much to do and explore and we definitely needed our caffeine every now and again!

We created this delectable black sesame ice-blended drink to accompany you at the home office or on your next adventure.

Gather your ingredients and make sure you give this recipe extra time, as you'll need frozen coffee!
