iced coffee

I wish I liked coffee. It's such a social thing, much more than just a drink. But I've never been able to stand the taste. Too bad, because it seems that iced coffee would be very refreshing these days.

I do like tea though, and I recently tried chai and liked it. Maybe I should try that iced chai one of these days.

How can you not like coffee? I put a couple sugars and a fair amount of cream in mine, and it tastes great, especially when it has a caramel shot in it. But I know what you mean, because I don't like beer, I can't stand the taste, and it's such a social thing... so yeah, I know the feeling. On the other hand, I get paid to be the designated driver. Cha-Ching!

Once at a little cafe' I had something called Eskimo Coffee. It's not iced coffee, but it was hot coffee with a nice sized scoop of vanilla ice cream in it. That's it, that's all. And yet, it tasted really good. I think I was intrigued by the name, too, but ultimately it was yummy.

Coffee with a scoop of ice cream in it. That sounds yummy! I will have to see if they serve that anywhere here. Or just try it myself at home.

Man, I used to do that all the time when I was working at Dairy Queen as a teenager. I used to take some black coffee and just add soft serve into it. It automatically adds cream and sugar...and also cools it off just enough to drink it too.

For sure, Peach. It would be very easy just to pop a scoop of vanilla into your mug of coffee. I think it would taste great in some of the flavoured coffees too. It's been years since I had this and only thought about it the other day. Time to re-visit it.

I've read about the ice cubes trick with coffee before (you can do the same for iced tea and punch drinks too). It's a great way to prevent flavor dilution.

Thankyou for the suggestions of making iced coffee and using coffee ice cubes I can't wait to give this a try.
