Quick Iced Coffee

The warmer (hotter) weather seems to be sticking around for a bit, and whilst a cuppa coffee is necessary to keep us going, a hot one is not always that enjoyable.

And its too hot to be wandering around in your knickers and singlet to the local coffee shop for a cream laden one. Here's a couple you can do at home!

For One

Get your three cup coffee plunger (becuase we all know a 3 cup plunger is only good for one cup).

Add half to a full scoop more coffee than you would normally for a good cup of coffee (in my case, about 5 scoops).

Boil some water in the kettle.

Important bit: add boiling water to plunger, but only half fill it! This is very important for a good iced coffee.

Traditionally, iced coffee is sweet, so add a good teaspoon or two of sugar to a tall glass (preferably pre-chilled, but not essential) - I prefer raw sugar, but it's up to you.

Pour the coffee from the plunger into the tall chilled glass (or MUG), fill with chilled milk and whack in a couple of ice cubes.

Sit back with a good book or DVD and enjoy.

For Several

Same as above, but this time use your 8-cup coffee plunger, which is good for about 3-4 decent sized drinks, or 2-3 MUGS.

Add extra coffee to the plunger, and add sugar this time to a decent sized jug.

1/2 to 3/4 fill the plunger, pour into jug, stir, and top with chilled milk. Add ice cubes. And a cocktail umberella if you like.

Stir again.

Pour into required number of pre-chillled glasses.

Share if you have to.

Options

You can add a scoop of vanilla to each glass. Or a nice moccha or coffee ice-cream is nice too.

For the evenings, a shot of Baileys Irish Cream goes down well.

And if you could be bothered, you could add some whipped cream to the top.
