It’s the first day of the month, and that can mean only one thing—new recipes. Incidentally, April 1 coincides with Monday and there’s no better way to start the week than delicious coffee. To welcome a new month and prepare ahead for summer, here are three recipes to make your morning cuppa with ice as an integral ingredient.
