The Iced Coffee recipe for those who don’t love coffee

April 26, 2020 | by thesundaystories

Much like British football fans, I vow to be a tea drinker until my last breath; English Breakfast, Peppermint, Fruity, you name it, i’ll drink it. Preferably with a cake but it’s not a necessity.

Having said this, with the sun shining as bright as it has this month and with very little to do with my time thanks to the lock-down, I’ve had no choice but to experiment.

Dalgona coffee seems to be Instagram’s coffee of choice at the moment but i’m always late to the party with trending topics and quite frankly it seems like a lot of fuss, I have, however, been hankering for a cold, sweet coffee to sip on in the sunshine. Mostly for the sole purpose of aiding my imagination whilst I pretend to be sitting in a cafe near the sea on the Amalfi Coast.

My first attempt failed miserably; as I said, i’m no connoisseur, but as with most things in life, my Mother came to the rescue and threw a few bits together to create the yummiest, most indulgent iced beverage this side of Watford. Vague measurements of Ingredients and Instructions to follow;

Ingredients

Serves: About 2 tall glasses

  • 2 heaped tea spoons of instant coffee
  • 2 scoops of ice cream
  • About 200ml of Milk
  • Ice
  • Maple syrup
  • Vanilla extract (if you choose)
Instructions
  • Boil your kettle and pour your two heaped tea spoons of coffee into a small milk jug (not a Pyrex dish guys)
  • In an electric mixer, add the ice, ice cream and milk and mix until smooth. Be sure to add either extra milk or ice cream depending on how thick or thin you want the coffee.
  • Once your kettle is boiled and added to the jug of instant coffee, pour into the mixer and continue to…mix!
  • Add Maple Syrup and Vanilla extract to your hearts content.
  • Pour into a glass full of ice

Voila! Enjoy.

Two books. Two poorly written reviews. CMBYN is a Two books. Two poorly written reviews.

CMBYN is a beautifully written account of 17 year old Elio falling in love with 24 year old Oliver during a summer in Italy at his (Elio’s) parents villa. I loved everything about this book; the intensity, the vulnerability, the intimacy, even the moments of discomfort. It was the escape I desperately needed from a devastating start to 2021. 

On Earth is a letter from a son to a mother, it moves from stories of his childhood to knowledge of his mother’s past in Vietnam, creating an explanation for the nuances and intricate details of their family’s life. Full disclosure; I probably didn’t appreciate the story as much as I could have, or should have. Perhaps I’d had too much purple prose by this point but it is a beautifully written and terribly sad story. A quote that has stuck with me;

‘The truth is we don’t have to die if we don’t feel like it.

Just kidding.’
What can be said in New Year rhymes, That's not be What can be said in New Year rhymes,
That's not been said a thousand times?

The new years come, the old years go,
We know we dream, we dream we know.

We rise up laughing with the light,
We lie down weeping with the night.

We hug the world until it stings,
We curse it then and sigh for wings.

We live, we love, we woo, we wed,
We wreathe our brides, we sheet our dead.

We laugh, we weep, we hope, we fear,
And that's the burden of the year.

Sorry for the spam today, I haven’t touched this Sorry for the spam today, I haven’t touched this account in a week or so and I had the sudden urge to update it today 🙃.
I rushed to finish An American Marriage today as my last book of the year, tomorrow I plan to write up my end of year round-up of books for my blog (which has been severely neglected for months). I’m really happy with the vast majority of books I’ve read this year and my aim next year is again, not to worry about quantity, but aim for quality.
Behind AAM are the beginning of my TBR pile for 2021, any there that you’ve read?
