Yum! Used the blender to crush up the ice and also added a shot of chocolate syrup. Satisfied my craving for Tim Horton's Ice Capp.

This is a fantastic recipe I see myself using every morning! It is just too hot for hot coffee, so this is the perfect way to get your caffeine fix. Generally, I am not a fan of instant coffee, but it works for this recipe. I used Splenda and skim milk, and it was still perfectly delicious. I've also jazzed it up with french vanilla creamer and chocolate syrup. Thanks for a great, quick, money-saving recipe!

If you're expecting this to taste exactly like Starbucks or anything you buy at a coffee shop, you will probably be disappointed. I'm sorry, but I just don't agree with most of the people saying it tastes just like the real thing. HOWEVER, that being said, I think it's a *really* good starter recipe to tweak to your liking so I give it four stars. Also, it's not like it has so many ingredients that you feel like you're wasting a lot of money if you decide you don't like it. It's also extremely easy to make...so you should at least give it a try if you like coffee. Also, when I get a "need" for coffee, I usually make this at home (with my tweaks) and this takes care of it so I must admit that it has saved me some money...and that's always a good thing. =) =)

I would say it is okay. It is definitely an easy way to make iced coffee, but I wouldn't say it was the best or as good as going to the coffee shop. Next time I will try flavored coffee creamer.

Pretty good! I put in whipped cream and chocolate syrup, once i mixed that in it was good. without it, I think it is not sweet enough. YUM! :)

Easy, but not all that tasty. Will suffice if youre feeling lazy and you need a caffeine fix and its hot outside, but it doesnt come close to the real thing.

I found this to be WAYYYY too strong, even after I put it in a tall glass with tons of ice and milk AND adding a healthy portion of chocolate syrup (and whipped cream, of course). I think I'll make it with one teaspoon - or even half of a teaspoon - next time. It is handy to have a quick iced coffee recipe that doesn't require a blender. Thanks!

Not bad. I tried it with soy milk. In the future I may make it a little sweeter and two teaspoons of sugar.

Delicious, and great way to save money! For the instant coffee, I used instant espresso powder. I like a stronger coffee taste. I also use flavored Coffeemate creamers to change it up a bit.

I just made this. It was really easy. I think mine would have turned out better if I had used a different instant coffee.

I'm not very picky when it comes to coffee, but this was terrible. If you don't like instant coffee, then you definitely won't like this drink. I tried the recipe as-written, and didn't like it, so I added a tablespoon of vanilla syrup--still wasn't very good.

This was a great drink and SO easy! I mixed the instant coffee, sugar (I like it sweeter, so I used extra) and the water in an empty water bottle. And I had some instant coffee single serve packets that were the perfect amount! Very foamy too, yum!

Overall this is a great base, but if you're looking for varying flavor...add a savory creamer with your favorite taste or even a teaspoon of hot cocoa mix.

This one gets 5 stars, I love this stuff, just as it's written! It is perfect for my Magic Bullet. Add the coffee, warm water and sugar to the magic bullet mug and swish around a bit to dissolve the sugar. Add the 3/4 cup milk. (I also add 2 ounces of vanilla creamer for the taste.) Fill the mug the rest of the way with ice. Twist onto the Magic Bullet base to grind it up (30-45 seconds), twist off and drink it right out of the mug. It's awesome! I had my MB for 2 years and used it once, I use it daily now! Thanks for the recipe.

This stuff is the bomb! I love ice coffee drinks, but you never know what is in them when you get them from stores. This is coffee, sugar and milk. I used nutra sweet and soy milk and a little shot of my vanilla coffee mate (for the vanilla flavor I love) and it worked great! Thanks!

I put the coffe granuals and sugar in a cup, added hot water and waited till it disolved. Then i poued that into a blender, added about 6 ice cubes, some skim milk and about 1 tbsp. of flavored coffee creamer and blended it together - DELICIOUS and REFRESHING!!!
