The warm weather is here in the Low Country. While South Carolina is known more for Sweet Tea, you can enjoy both as the temperatures climb. The cold, strong brewed coffee (no instant please!) mixes so well with your milk of choice, with iced cream, whipped cream and shaved chocolate, depending on how sweet or rich you like your drink! A great tip is to freeze coffee in an ice cube tray, so that your drink remains cold but does not overly dilute. Enjoy the same delicious iced coffee drinks at home that you would purchase in your favorite coffee shop but less expensive and customized to your taste! Make it dairy or sugar free if you choose or add chocolate for an iced mocha. Add ice cream for an á la mode, chocolate for a mocha or espresso for a deeper, rich coffee flavor. Be sure to make the coffee strong as you will dilute it with the milk or cream. Make a batch of coffee and keep it in the refrigerator and then you will only need 2-3 minutes to make your iced coffee. See the suggestions below for recipes for simple variations.

“Law and morality often intersect, but they are not the same thing. Law provides rules, procedures, deadlines, and finality. Morality asks a different question: What is right?” So writes Adena Bernstein in her expertly written account of art stolen by the Nazis and their collaborators during their occupation of Europe.
A prosecutor in Arizon, Adena brings her experience as a lawyer to link justice and morality in Stolen Legacies. She documents the laws or lack of laws regarding restitution to the rightful heirs and shows flaws in the legal process in detailed documentation from many countries and institutions.
The seizure of art happened across much of Nazi Europe, the art sold or stored in non-Nazi occupied areas such as Switzerland or Spain. Sales were brisk, paperwork often sketchy preventing real provenance being established or cared about.
The legacies that were stolen can never be restored with the return of a piece of art. The restoration, even after 81 years, is a symbol that the law can be moral, reveal truth and restore trust in the future.
Café Iced Coffees
Yield: 1 serving
2 cup strong brewed coffee, divided
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
½ cup heavy cream (100 ml)
Coffee ice cubes: (freeze coffee, pinch cinnamon, brown sugar in an ice cube tray)
1 tablespoon shaved semi sweet chocolate
-
Brew 2 cups coffee. Divide the coffee in half. To one half, add the vanilla. Refrigerate until very cold.
-
Add to the other half of the coffee a pinch of cinnamon and 1 teaspoon brown sugar. Spoon into an ice cube tray and freeze. This keeps the coffee strong, instead of ice cubes made from water. Then as the ice melts, the coffee stays strong!
-
When ready to serve, whip the cream to soft peaks. Add sugar or sweetener if desired.
-
Pour the cold coffee over coffee ice cubes in a tall glass.
-
Spoon the whipped cream onto the coffee. Dust with cocoa and dark chocolate shavings.
-
Serve with a long spoon to eat the whipped cream!
