[V8Ian]

Anybody got a good recipe for ice coffee. I am after an easy, economical, good tasting concoction that I can make in three litre batches.

[67hardtop]

Yep. We got great ice coffee here in SA called Farmers Union Ice Coffee. Just jump in Land Rover of ur choice, drive for couple days to SA, go into shop and buy it in 3 litre bottle......enjoy. Then settle in SA to buy ice coffee whenever u want it. :D:D:D:D:D:D:D

The ready made cartons of iced coffee are rubbish.

Try Bickfords Iced Coffee Syrup is in my fridge. Coles and Woolies have it.

Well neither of you two are much help. :p
Rod, Farmers Union would rate at number four, nationally. Equal first is Ice Break (Queensland) and Territory's Own Iced Coffee(NT), next is Harvey Fresh Cappuccino (WA).
Ron, I hate chicory.
At present I buy 2 X 2 litre Ice Break, a day but at seven bucks a bottle it gets a bit expensive. I would like more flavour too.

[d@rk51d3]

The chicory makes it taste like those fake health coffee's like Caro.

Not bad in themselves...... just not coffee.

Mmmmmm, I'm with you Mick, but a couple of litres in my smoko esky may present a slight problem at work.

I understand that. You could water down the milk.

[DiscoClax]

Double shot of espresso (wood fired beans) over a few chunks of ice. Pour very cold milk over it. Consume. Doesn't get much better than that. Quick and easy and doable anywhere.

Yeah, I even have a poncy manual hand-pump espresso machine that goes touring with me. Errr... I've said too much, haven't I?

Well truth be told, i actually drink ice break stripped. Less sugar so they say. I find it doesent upest my hypoglyceamea if i drink it too fast. Tastes really good BTW.

Now tell me why I live where I live... :D :D :D

And why I have to transport it to Adelaide with me whenever I visit my sons :angel:

However Ian, one enterprising son used to put into a blender

about half a litre of milk
2 scoops of ice cream
2 Tablespoons Moccona instant coffee
2 Tablespoons sugar
2 ice cubes

That would make two large glasses. HTH.

Farmers Union is also very popular in Tassie too. We stocked up on the way through SA, and then found that we can buy it just about everywhere in Tassie too. :D

Haven't seen that one before Ron. Will track it down and give it a try. Bickfords have some good products - I've always got some of their ginger beer and lemon cordial base handy for a hot day. ;)

[Chops]

Mum used to make up 2lt jugs many years ago.
She used the International Roast coffee,,,, because it mixed well. I guess these days your favourite blend could just be whisked with a whizbang dovahicky thingy.
She mixed a couple of table spoons with a bit of water then some ice, more water I guess maybe half-ish, then milk. Back then it was full cream milk, but I guess you could adjust that depending on what milk you want to use.

Always tasted great when she made it, quite refreshing on a stinking hot day. Probably the closest drink to hers these days is the Ice Break

[superquag]

Coffee house/Cappucino machine or similar.

Order a flat white, single/double-shot to taste... then ask them to add COLD, full-cream (?) milk... ie, don't bother to heat/froth/abuse it.

Add some ice blocks if you're that way inclined...

Real COFFEE,
Real Milk, and
Real Ice if you prefer.
Quick and easy for them too.

One of my regular haunts makes up batches, bottles and refrigerates them Very Cold, - cold enough to have without their optional ice-blocks.

- You just gotta train your vendors... :eek:

[carjunkieanon]

My parents come round every Sunday to spend time with my kids. They do espressos on the stove top and leave me a shot in a small cup. I usually put it in the fridge overnight and drink it Monday morning in one gulp.

Delicious.

(A couple of Nepresso a day for the rest of the week)

[NavyDiver]

Triple espresso with very good just roasted beans. Buy one if you cannot make one- cold is no problem. Crushed Ice, Table spoon of vanilla ice cream, small table spoon of Agave syrup or a tea spoons of sugar. A fresh little grated nutmeg in a very tall glass- fill with milk of course.

I skip the table spoon of Agave syrup or 2 tea spoons of sugar myself. Just had one- yum I am not a whipped cream fan but knock your self out if you do

[LandyAndy]

Deb has a Nesspreso machine.She puts a shot of coffee in a glass and leaves it to cool in the frige then fills with milk.
May work out expensive,they are around 80 cents a shot.

Instead of watering down the milk, use supermarket brand.

Farmers union outsell coke in SA so they can't be too far off. Bickfords make the essence for F U and now sell it. You can get straight coffee essence from them. I have tried a lot of others that I think pale in comparrason but for instance in east timor in 2000 all I could get when we did get to Dili was Pauls iced coffee- frozen solid at $4 a carton which was waaay over the normal price but I still paid up. And sweated off on it thawing out..

When the minister for war and fianance came to darwin for my 2day trip back she brought a couple big FU iced coffees- god I love that woman. Use the bickfords, its the percentage mix you change to your taste and once you not it you'll love it...

Asfor the comment on keeping an eye on your weight? Well any medical professional or optomitrist will tell you its easier to see a larger object than a small or thin one... therefore if you are `larger` its easier to keep an -eye on your weight!

[digger]

While you are at it do yourself a favour and try a golden north barista bar... heaven... as arethe honey ones..

Do yourself a better favour and come to Melrose where the organisers are that good they sell them at the showgrounds!,

I'll buy you one of each Ian!

[V8Ian]

I was wondering how long before you chimed in Digger, that Bickford's essence sounds good, Woollies?

[V8Ian]

Mmmmmm, two iced coffees eh? That might just be the clincher, did a bit of research and I'll try to get time off work.

I find a spoon full of powered milk in your home made Iced Coffee really adds to the taste.

Tried that. The electronic kitchen appliance didn't mix it too well.
It just went "Fffzzzztttt" and then the computer died.
I guess it was because I had to use a bucket. The toaster wouldn't fit in the jug.

The best supermarket iced coffee I've ever had was in Japan, called BOSS. No sugar, no artificial flavours, just refreshing cold coffee in a can. For some reason, every producer in Australia insists that we need 10+ teaspoons of sugar and a sickly ice cream sundae flavour :mad:

If I'm making my own though, I just brew a pot of percolated black coffee using freshly ground beans and throw the lot in the fridge overnight. Cold black coffee is delicious :D

[DiscoMick]

Pauls make a nice iced coffee but I don't see it in many shops.

[V8Ian]

Coles had nil stock of my Ice Break tonight so the bloke who checked out the back for me offered to price match the brand of my choice. I picked the South Australian product but declined the price match offer as IB retails for $6.59 (on special today for $5,20) and the FU is $4.00. He made a counter offer, half price....bargain. :D

It's worth checking the sugar level in iced coffees because some of them have a lot of sugar.

There's your problem, Pedro. No one should have a favourite dried coffee. That stuff is vile.

A can of Coke has about 10 teaspoons of sugar. Some iced coffees are up there with that. Instant obesity, if we're not careful.

I went into a coffee place on the outskirts of Melbourne a while back and asked for an iced coffee only to be told "we don't do iced coffee!"

So I asked for a latte, but with cold, non-frothed milk.
I was met with a look that made me think I'd suddenly sprouted a second head!

The girl then passed the order over to the barista who came over to me to double check and question what I wanted, so I simply had to spell it out again as an espresso shot and add cold milk. And a couple of ice cubes if you've got any.

I never expected it to be that difficult.....:o

[ramblingboy42]

it's pretty hot and sticky here at the moment and I just did a couple of hours in the sun.

came inside and made me a sugarless iced coffee in a pint glass with a belt of rum (no, not bundy , that's not rum) plenty coarse crushed ice , shook it up and slowly drank it. I could feel the cool hit as it went down......

My nephew comes from Greece. Over there they make what they call a Frappe, with Nescafe and crushed ice. Yes it is disgusting.
He spends half the year in Rainbow Beach where they do a nice Iced Late which is much much nicer.

[frantic]

Ice break raw is good but if I'm out my personal favourite is a large vanilla chilla from the Gloria jeans coffe chain. It gets 2 shots milk and ice with some powder thrown in a blender 😀
Also of track but bickfords peach flavour cordial tastes almost identical to Lipton ice tea peach.

there was a dairy in Darwin run by the Mayering family when I was there, Kath was a real character.

they didn't produce enough milk for Darwin and Pauls reconstituted butter fat and stuff to make their milk.

are all milk products imported now?

Whilst around Mandurah /Margaret River a few years ago there were iced coffe/chocolate milk in a foil 'bag'.

I've forgotten the name, but it was byfar better than anything we can get on the east coast!

Although 2 litres on a W.A summers day wasn't a good idea. .....

Paul's Blended Milk. Those were the days - although you did get real milk in the milkshake at the Noonamah roadhouse then. :D

Late 80s Malanda milk was trucked in and then Rowlands started the dairy in Katherine using (evaporative) air conditioned sheds. That closed around the end of the 90s and now with a railway line it is all 'trucked' in as you say.
