With the hottest days of summer now upon us, ice cream is the go-to treat for most people to enjoy on hot North Carolina summer days. July’s featured recipe puts a Som’s Café twist on a summer classic, the root beer float. Instead of root beer, our recipe calls for a float made with vanilla ice cream and our Som’s Café Signature Cold Brew.
You can find our Cold Brew coffee recipe in our previous post here: https://somscafe.com/soms-cafe-cold-brew/ . We will also be selling our Som’s Cafe Signature Cold Brew and these cold brew ice cream floats for sale at our pop-up coffee shop at Perkin’s Orchard http://www.perkinsorchard.com/ in Durham on Saturday, July 31st.
