Allegra report that iced beverage sales now comprise more than one-fifth of the $47.5bn revenue generated by branded coffee shops in the US.

Life by Chocolate Mousse

"Belgian Chocolate Mousse with a hint of orange blossom water and a shot of espresso.  A low GI pick-me-up".   Amazing how you can up the ante with such a humble dessert.  Good for Leon.
