    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)

      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 😂 it’s more so the coffee flavour is there, otherwise the milk dilutes it lol

      Instructions clear. Auger heals iron deficiency.

      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.
