Coffee Punch

5 T. Instant coffee
2 cups hot water
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. salt
6 cups cold water
1/2 tsp. almond extract
1 pint half & half
1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream
1/2 gallon chocolate ice cream

Dissolve instant coffee in hot water. Add sugar and salt; stir until dissolved. Add cold water and almond extract. Chill. When ready to serve, add coffee mixture and half & half to the ice cream. Use a potato masher to get a good consistency. Garnish with Ready Whip and chocolate shavings.

**I added crushed ice to the punch to keep chilled**
