Iced Orange Cappucino

A taste of fresh orange gives this coffee classic a cool -- and sugar-free --treatment.

Zest from 1 medium orange, cut into 1/2-inch strips	7-1/2 cups cold water
1-1/2 cups drip grind espresso coffee	3 to 4 tablespoons NutraSweet® Spoonful™
3 cups skim milk	Light whipped topping
Cocoa, ground nutmeg or cinnamon

Yield: Makes 8 servings (about 8 ounces each)

Place orange zest in bottom of coffee pot. Brew coffee, using cold water and espresso; cool to room temperature. Strain coffee and discard orange zest; stir in NutraSweet® Spoonful™ and milk. Refrigerate until chilled.

Pour cappuccino into chilled tall glasses; spoon small dollop of whipped topping on each and sprinkle with cocoa, nutmeg or cinnamon.

NOTE: Cappuccino can be frozen in ice cube trays; the cubes can be used with cappuccino so it will not be diluted. Also, the ice cubes can be processed in a blender to make cappuccino slush.
