Coffee Punch

We're having a family baby shower here tomorrow. This time we're serving a coffee punch we've used a couple of times before. Beware - it disappears quickly. Maybe it should be a tradition from now on?

Coffee Punch

1 cup instant coffee
1/4 cup cocoa
1 1/4 cups sugar
1/2 cup boiling water
3 cups cold water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 quarts milk
1 pint whipping cream
1/2 gallon coffee ice cream

Dissolve coffee, cocoa and sugar in 1/2 cup boiling water; stir in cold water, vanilla and milk. Fold in creams just before serving. Serves 40.

Note: Be sure the instant coffee is completely dissolved.
