Last night wasn’t fun. I’d had the portable on and it was cold so I slipped on a jacket and fell asleep under a blanket… woke up sweating profusely because the cool didn’t last at all.
Then this morning I was groggy and dropped a nearly full jar of instant coffee. It smashed everywhere. Luckily I have another plus had the stick vac already plugged in nearby but I vacuumed and mopped and was still finding little chunks of glass. Not a big deal for me if wearing slippers but I’m worried about little paws.
You probably already know this but reminder - you don’t need fancy syrup to make homemade iced coffee/Big M. By stirring sugar and instant coffee in a very little hot water until the crystals dissolve and topping up with cold milk you avoid the gritty unsweetened taste of chucking those straight in. Ice cubes or icecream optional.
Edit: Icecream toppings also work as milk flavouring
Yeah I’d put condensed milk in the cup first, pour coffee on top, let that sit in the fridge till nice and cold, then serve with the cup in a bowl of ice. But this is in no way authentic. I’m just thinking about best taste & temperature.
That’s kind of what I was gonna do. Condensed milk in a glass, top with cold plunger coffee, stick it in the fridge. When it’s chilled adjust with milk/condensed milk. Add a couple of ice blocks.
Lol someone doesn’t want me to move off the couch.
Edit: What I’ve done is made the coffee in the plunger. Put condensed milk in a pyrex jug topped with hot coffee. Popped it in the fridge with two wet milkshake glasses. When chilled will pour over ice cubes. Makes 2. Will report back later.🤞

The coffee recipe has been chef verified.
I’ve done this and it does work.
Today I’m thinking about condensed milk, cold coffee and ice blocks. A la homemade Vietnamese ice coffee. Do you think it would work?
I just gotta get off the couch.
I’d put the cold coffee in a bowl of ice instead of putting the ice in the coffee.
So no ice blocks in the glass? Only in the made coffee?

If booboo happens I will add Bailey’s.
A frozen big M/ flavoured milk is also pretty good on a day like this. A primary school canteen classic.
I remember the Sunny Boys. Not much flavour but a big chunk of ice
I just bought chocolate topping to make my own thick shake… take that Maccas.
They discontinued So Good icecream otherwise I’d do the same
