Kicking things up a notch this morning by adding sweetened condensed milk to our iced coffee to make iced Thai coffee. It's not hard at all. I start with regular coffee chilled in the fridge mixed with coffee ice cubes. Then I mix in two tablespoons of the sweetened condensed milk. (condensed milk makes me think of the scene in the English Patient where he is slurping it from a can with a straw)
Oh ho ho is it good! I usually have to put lots of sugar in my coffee, but not with this added. Yum!
I'm not a regular coffee drinker but I love Thai iced coffee. Trader Joe's sells organic sweetened condensed milk in squeeze bottles with flip caps. I bought one just for Thai iced coffee because I can never finish a single can and end up throwing out the remainder every time.
ReplyDeletePS- Did you know Cuppow released two new colors- pink and mint?
ReplyDeleteGrace - it would be great to have condensed milk in a squeeze bottle!
ReplyDeleteYes, I saw the pink and mint Cuppows! So CUTE! I'm going to have to order them very soon!
i love cold brew ice coffee, it's even easier than making hot coffee then refrigerating it :) The taste is much more mellow and non-bitter, too--almost caramel-y. I highly recommend it!

Jennifer - thanks for the link! I had been thinking about cold brew coffee but the contraption at my local coffee shop was intimidating!
