Frappuccino for a Crowd...aka Pi Phi Mocha Punch

I wasn't a Pi Phi, but I love me some Pi Phi girlfriends and certainly enjoy Pi Phi Mocha Punch!  It tastes like a frappuccino and would be perfect for a brunch, shower, morning tailgate, or any morning (just because it's delicious).  This Delta Zeta hopes you give it a try!

Pi Phi Mocha Punch

1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups cold water

2 1/2 cups boiling water

2 3/4 cups sugar

pinch of salt

1 tsp vanilla extract

Coffee, double strength

Milk 

Vanilla ice cream

Mix the cocoa and cold water into a paste in a large saucepan.  Add boiling water, sugar, and salt to pasted mixture.  Simmer slowly for 1 hour, stirring often.  Cool the syrup mixture and add vanilla. Refrigerate. Make double-strength coffee and set aside.

To make 3-4 servings of punch, mix 8 oz of cold coffee, 8 oz of cold milk, and 2 Tbsp of the chocolate syrup.  Serve over pint of ice cream in a large pitcher.  Stir to combine, then serve over ice.  The syrup will keep in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
