I know that this will shock some of you but I'm only
kind of a coffee snob. I like a dark, rich roast and high caffeine content, having weathered several gloomy winters in the Pacific Northwest, but I also tend to prefer my coffee on ice. My mom has always been an iced coffee fanatic, so maybe that's where I get it from. Unlike me, however, she likes her coffee with tons of sugar– it's almost a coffee syrup. Rarely do we agree on coffee beverages but both of us can attest to the convenience and tastiness of
International Delight's new line of Iced Coffee, which will be available in the dairy section of Walmart stores everywhere on January 15th.
I like to start my day off with coffee but my husband is not a fan. In fact, he even hates the smell of coffee. Absurd! Iced coffee is generally less aromatic than its hot counterpart, so it offends his olfactory senses less and I don't have to see him wincing first thing in the morning. (No, he doesn't make a big deal out of it but I try to be sensitive to his needs. I'm awesome like that.) If I just have to stumble out of bed and pour, so much the simpler. Check out our fully-loaded fridge:
Three delectable flavors. Which one shall I try first? Mocha, of course! I am a total chocoholic, so it was the obvious choice. Not too sweet, not too thick. I would have preferred a darker chocolate flavor but it was more of a milky chocolate, still delicious. I imagine it would be even better frozen and blended. Mmm! I had to remind myself not to drink the whole carton in one sitting. It's awfully easy to pour over ice and suck down.
I like to add an extra shot or two of coffee, to make up for the melting ice. I suppose if you planned ahead you could make espresso cubes to alleviate the dilution. Or just throw caution to the wind and blend it up with some ice cream or fro-yo, perhaps a splash of Kahlua…
I won't tell a soul.
Which flavor would you try first?
