International Delight Iced Coffee

So today while I was walking the aisles of the grocery store, I decided to pick up some creamer.  Yes, coffee snobs, I have to admit I like to add flavored creamer to my coffee from time to time.  Not everyday, but quite often.  This time I decided to pick up “Cinnabon Creamer” and I’m not ashamed of it!  So what if I like a little cinnamon, cream and sugar in my coffee.  Let me be.  Do I seem defensive?  I sure hope not, but I’ve been shunned before, so I digress.

There I was in the cold section of the store, the dairy section, when I stumbled across International Delight Iced Coffee.  I had to stop in my steps and just stare, dazed and confused.  Why has this not been invented before?  Finding the perfect iced coffee is so hard, and requires so much work.  This seems to good to be true.

So, I stopped and lingered, and I looked.  International Delight offers three flavors:  Original, Mocha and Vanilla.  These are made with 100% premium Arabica coffee,  and are ready to drink.  You simple pour over ice and voilà you have perfectly lovely iced coffee magic.

I decided to purchase the Mocha and promptly returned home where I poured some over crushed ice.  The anticipation was intense.  I plopped in my straw and started sipping.  Honestly, my first thought was this tastes a lot like chocolate milk.  It was sweet, and rich with just a hint of coffee flavor.  I decided to brew a cup of coffee, and once it cooled I added some of it to the iced coffee. Since it was morning I was needing that extra kick.  However, I can see myself enjoy it just as it is in the afternoon or evening for a sweet treat.

Overall, I honestly really enjoyed it!  I think next time I will purchase the vanilla, or perhaps the original flavor.  I’m impressed by the sheer simplicity of it and how it will now be so easy to have iced coffee whenever I damn well please.

This is my perfect morning coffee concoction, but if you’d rather do without the ice, then you might want to try it the Matthew Yglesias of The Internet Food Association way:

What you need to do is fill a pitcher with a mixture of water and coffee (if you’re grinding your own, aim for a coarse grind) in a ratio of about 1 cup of coffee to about 4.5 cups of water. Stir it up to mix, and stick it in the fridge for, ideally, a 12 hour overnight brew. In the morning, strain the mixture. If your strainer isn’t fine-meshed enough (mine isn’t) you can supplement it with a paper coffee filter. Now you’ve got a delicious pitcher of coffee concentrate. Pour some over an ice cube and enjoy!

Whether you like it black or with milk, whipped cream, or another additive, this makes a great treat for coffee lovers in the warmer seasons!
