It sounds sloppy when Jayne pours it? I dunno. Besides which, it wouldn't be a real problem. "Cream of"-type soups are easily pourable.

Who's gonna clean those bottles? You?

Thank You Kindly.

Bottles? Like as not, we'll be drinking it out of the mixing bowl.

I never got the impression that it was thick, but it was milky - opaque rather than translucent or clear. So whatever you do, would almost have to start with a cream or milk base.

Heck you want nutrients, throw in some protein powder and blend it with ice. And then flavor to taste.

My unfortunate condition of a seriously lacking sense of taste and smell rather prevents me from suggesting any things that would taste good together in order to enjoy the drinking experience.

In a pinch, you could always use Kahluah and milk. For a non alcoholic version, some sort of Chai

For those interested, this is the recipe I wound up using, since it just sounded good. And it was.

1.5 quarts water
.5 cup instant chocolate drink (i.e. hot cocoa mix)
.5 cup sugar
.25 cup instant coffee granules
.5 gallon vanilla ice cream
.5 gallon chocolate ice cream
1 cup whipped cream, whipped (I forgot this. D'OH!)

20 servings, 5 quarts, 4 hours prep time, 5 minutes mix time

1. In a large sauce pan, bring the water to a boil then remove from heat.
2. Add the cocoa mix, sugar, and instant coffee.
3. Stir until dissolved. Cover, let cool, and refrigerate for 4 hours or overnight.
4. About 30 minutes before serving, pour into a punch bowl. Add the ice cream by scoopfuls; stir until partially melted. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream. (Again, forgot.)

The taste was most often compared to a mocha chocolate shake, which was about the consistency, too. Gives you all the sugar, caffeine, and calories you need to make it through the night.

For folk wishing to spike it, a little rum would probably taste real nice in the mix.

I think most who tried it liked it! It was gone by the end of the night, least ways.

I have tried beer made from an ancient egyptian recipe. Quite yummy if you like chewy beers

The ancient Egyptians would drink their beer using special straws to filter out the lumps. At least, that's what I learned in 3rd grade history.

Love to see a primary source on that. I have found that 90% of the things I learned in 3rd grade are false.

N.B. When I say 'chewy' I mean in the beer sense, high density.

Thank You Kindly.

p.s. most of the recipes given sound way too good...
