Dissolve coffee and brown sugar in boiling water. Add cinnamon and Mixed Spice. Add cold water and stir well. Add milk, vanilla and whipping cream. Whisk lightly until evenly combined. Put 2 ice cubes into each glass. Half fill with coffee mixture. Add a scoop of ice cream to each glass and top up with remaining coffee. Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder.

If desired, top each with a little whipped cream.
