Iced Coffee at home - Spud's Method

  • Get a nice big mug or glass
  • add 4 teaspoons of instant coffee
  • add 1 teaspoon of ~~auger~~ (SUGAR)
  • either use the hot water tap and run it till super hot (mine gets to almost boiling), or boil some water
  • pour boiling/hot water into mug/glass, just enough that it covers the sugar and coffee
  • stir lots
  • add cold milk to the top
  • add ice cubes
  • stir
  • place in freezer until ready to consume (if it freezes it's just a coffee slushy)

Instructions clear. Auger heals iron deficiency.

Go too far and the glass will leak however.

Four teaspoons would give me heart palpitations and visions of the hatman

I usually have at least 6 cups of instant coffee a day, so I have a tolerance I guess πŸ˜‚ it's more so the coffee flavour is there, otherwise the milk dilutes it lol

Love iced coffee. But four teaspoons would send me into a spin! I bet it makes a good coffee though. I always find my home made iced coffees are a bit weak on the coffee flavour. I suspect being cold dulls the flavour down, and of course higher volume. I tried using one of those coffee syrups to boost the flavour but found it a bit too sweet and with an odd background flavour. I’ve found making a strong plunger coffee and putting it the fridge to cool down give the best result, but that requires preplanning which I don’t always do.

I considered it tbh πŸ˜‚ but I like the split potato that's kind of yonic πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

[–] Baku@aussie.zone 5 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Ohh it's a split stuffed baked potato thing

I thought it was like that yuppy garlic bread Italian places do where it's like a flat bread with garlic and herbs on the top rather than the curved kinda garlic bread you get for cheap from colesworth

[–] StudChud@aussie.zone 2 points 6 months ago
