Ice coffee

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

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.

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

No it's not, I have enough to worry about without adding that; ignorance is bliss.

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.

Is this a good time to mention the dreaded International Roast?

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...

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.....
