Good morning DiCers! I hope you all have a wonderful day... Almost made my regular hot morning drink, then I remembered there’s a quick and easy alternative thanks to @Mikiesboy So yay, I’m having iced coffee instead! Edit: Of note, the cold version is sweeter than the hot version, so cut the required sweetener - yes, it is still needed for now, anyway - by half.
-
Oh, that does sound nice. I don’t have a David’s near me now, so it’s good they have a website. I’m going to look for that one. Edit: The website lists an iced variety. Mmmm
-
Sounds tasty, so if I’ll try that tomorrow.
-
I do that for the most part, but there are some loose leaf one that I like. I use these filters because they’re handy, and biodegradable.
-
I have the ball as well, but it’s messy, so I switched to fillable teabags - just need to watch the bag doesn’t close while I’m spooning in the tea, so the tea doesn’t go flying and well, you know make a mess.
-

I’ve heard that as well. I think it’s let it boil, then wait a short moment until the boil subsides. Oh, and don’t pour directly on the tea bag, but put the tea bag into the water instead. I’m not sure how much of a difference it makes, but I bought bone china mugs (not cups for me, too fragile) because tea is supposed to taste better if it’s in bone china rather than ceramics or some other material.
-
I keep a jug of tap water in the fridge, because I like it cold as well. So did my cat, and he was actually the reason I started keeping water in the fridge - yes, the furball was spoiled.
-
Not giving off much heat is another plus. i really must get one.
-
Speaking of InstaPots, when I was reading the blog, there was a video add for InstaPot Mac n’ Cheese (no pun intended ). The InstaPot is everywhere.
-
I don’t recall ever trying Taster’s Choice, but I do like regular nescafé (though not the dark roast because it’s too strong) SDM also has sales like this, too - alternating weekly with Maxwell House (which does go well with hot chocolate).
-
Speaking of instant coffee, I tried Maxwell House - it was all that was available at the time - and I thought it was awful. Nescafé is really quite nice.
-
I have Agave, so I may try that as hot coffee is not as sweet vs using Splenda.
-
I hear you, Mike, though for me, it’s milk I can’t live without. Yes, I am a milkaholic...
-
@MichaelS36 One thing I have noticed with the cold version is the sweetness factor has increased. I think I’ll use just one package of Splenda next time I make this, which will be, tomorrow, of course. I’d try the Nescafé tim mentioned, but I’m out of it at the moment.
-
It is delish and oh so refreshing.
-
Priorities, Wayne, priorities. Just saying...
-
Here's mine. Made with Nescafe Instant Espresso, Splenda, Milk and ice.
-
-
Not that I need the caffeine right now, but I’m itching to try this, so what the heck, I can stay up late...
-
One thing I thought of is the method to dissolve the coffee. I wonder if using a very small amount of hot water rather than stirring a lot - I’m assuming that’s how it was done - with cold water might be easier. Or did you find the crystals did dissolve without much trouble/effort?
-
Okay, so I haven’t finished reading the link as yet. Having said that, I’ve been thinking it’s time to dig out my French Press so could brew a batch of cold coffee concentrate. This just might save me the trouble. Thanks, tim!
-
Tis true
-
Isn’t that always the way?

Hi Mac. Hi Starry *waves* It’s good to see you both. Hello @kbois @Ashi and @Jack Renny and welcome to the DiC!
