Thanks for sharing that! I'll try it tomorrow when it's early enough to have a caffeine fix!

Love iced coffee when it’s hot outdoor. Very refreshing. This 3 day drive we swung by Starbucks drive through every day to get iced espresso plus splash of cream for the road. Cool off and stay awake!

Making you own is a great savings!

I will be darned! I never knew it was made with rum! All the home recipes I have seen call for vodka, because it is cheaper, I guess

I grew up out side of Boston. Ice coffee was a common summer time beverage. All we did was save and cool the morning coffee (after it probably "strengthened" by sitting on the stove), and pore over ice. A little sugar, a little milk/cream. Pretty simple.

When I moved to the Midwest in 1978, I realized, at least back then, Ice Coffee (we NEVER called it ICED coffee) was very regional. I had a buddy order it out here, he got a coffee cup, with ice, and hot coffee poured on top.

I haven't had it in years, I need to brew a strong pot tomorrow morning and save it for the afternoon.

Love iced coffee, and go out for it at least once a week. Cold brew is terrific as well with a really robust flavor. Iced Vietnamese coffee is also amazing. The flavor is so strong and pronounced it almost seems like a different beverage altogether.

I prefer mine with no sugar. Just a touch of milk to tone down the acidity.

We once went into a Vietnamese grocery store to buy those little metals drippers for Vietnamese coffee. Then we asked what kind of coffee to use. The owner reached over and handed us a can of Cafe du Monde coffee from New Orleans!

Souschef, so did I, however, they now print it on the bottle. I bought a small bottle of Kahlua, cost $18! That’s when I started making my own. 1.75 liter vanilla rum $14. Coffee and sugar less than a dollar. I have also used decaf instant coffee.

I think he was trying to save you money. In Saigon they'll sell you Vietnam-grown beans, the "proper" grinder, and a phan (traditional drip coffee maker, which it sounds like you were also buying), all for a hefty price! But that is a big city for you.

Hi J.P. How are things on the other side of the bridge?
I often drink coffee over ice in the summer, especially as you say with a little milk or cream. Tides me over when I'm hungry and keeps me awake on hot humid afternoons.
