Bit of a stupid question

AceMcCloud · 17-10-2013, 00:59

First off I'm not a coffee (or tea) drinker

I'm making a smoothie that needs cold black coffee and I was just wondering if anyone can tell me how to make it

Google gives me iced coffee which isn't what I'm wanting

is it as simple as coffee and cold water?

wasn't sure if cold water would dissolve the coffee

Make it hot and let it cool.
If it's just to flavour a smoothie instant will do.
1 or 1.5 tsp per cup of hot water.

Why?

I'd look into a coffee chocolate milkshake. Mocha chocca?

Why am I not a coffee drinker or why does it need coffee lol?

I'm not a fan of hot drinks, but I love coffee flavoured things

It's a banana & coffee smoothie, so it needs coffee

Always make with hot water and cool. If possible (probably more for ice coffee than this use) then don't put ice cubes in to encourage the cooling process...they only dilute it.

I say make a hot cup and let it cool, best way to get it tasting best!

If you're using it for a smoothie it might be best to use hot milk rather than hot water

Have you tried Camp Coffee with milk?

Are you sure?

As others have said make it hot and let it cool. If it's a one off you might be better buying single serving sachets.

Surely it's quicker to dissolve the coffee in just a little bit of boiling water, and then fill the cup with cold water.
