Iced Coffee

I used to like Camp coffee when I was a student. It didn't taste like coffee as I know it but had a flavour all its own. Tea ladies used to bring it round on trolleys and dispense it from huge urns. Must have been left over from the war.

Mmmmm….I love iced coffee, but have never tried making it myself. I don't like the syrups, too sweet for me'

When I was a teenage I liked camp coffee, my Dad had it. Now I drink black coffee with no sugar, but I may try the camp, with a bit of ice cream on top, and ice cubes.

try the 1940s!

Ha.......ha

I absolutely love iced coffee, I first had it about 25 years ago in Greece.

Kenco make a good instant one in several different flavours (vanilla, caramel, coconut are the ones I can think of). Aldi have them on sale at the moment.

I blend with crushed ice and add a squirt of cream on top - delicious.

Thanks V3ra !

laced with whisky great idea!

BlueSky Tesco have Camp coffee on their website.

Jane do you know of a time machine? I would love to use it!
PS It should read where not were!

BlueSky- try the 1940s!

(Sorry Maw, couldn't resist!)

MawB were do you get Camp coffee? I tried to get some just to make iced coffee, but couldn't find it.

Nespresso made coffee with evaporated milk using the frother/chiller.

Wot Jane says ?

I just don't get it. I don't understand iced tea either. They both sound awful. Each to his own though.

Oooh!! a favourite summer treat for me. Make up a cafetiere and place in fridge. When cold fill a glass two thirds full, add some special syrup and top up with squirty cream. Gorgeous. My adult children tell me it is an adult version of a milk shake.

It takes me back to Nairobi, where I used to have iced coffee in the hottest weather. Over 50 years ago, before I became intolerant of caffeine. I still love the aroma of freshly prepared coffee.

I feel ill just thinking about iced coffee,but were all different.

Now you are talking Grannynanny!

Reminds me of scrummy ones in a Lanzarote hotel years ago which were a take on an Irish coffee. Chilled coffee, laced with whiskey and topped with ice cream.

I’ve never thought to recreate it at home but I just might this evening

If you are making your own as I do, Camp Coffee essence (remember it?) is brilliant and much easier than making a small quantity of strong espresso to add to your cold milk.

Yes iced tea too Pittcity!

Ooh yes. I loved the Aussie versions with ice cream, whipped cream et Al, but home made is good. Can't beat a coffee frapuccino on a hot day.
I am also a fan of iced tea.

Reminds me of Oz, yes, they do the best ones. Scrummy.

As Kate said! Reminds me of holidays (holidays ?)

Funnily enough my food parcel (delivered to the "frail or vulnerable elderly" each week by the Village's Community Action Group) contained a can of Iced Coffee! I have yet to try it. I suspect it is not selling well in the Supermarkets. We do get the oddest things in our parcels, usually short dated, but always 6 free range eggs from a local farm and fresh milk from a local dairy,

For an added treat, add vanilla ice cream.
