    This sounds delicious! The only thing I would substitute is the Almond Milk. And, ONLY because I read something this morning on iVillage "52 little changes for Big Weight Loss Results - #26 Skip the Rice or Almond Milk -- Lactose intolerant? Switching to non-dairy milk alternatives could be adding an extra 30 calories (per cup) to your daily diet. That doesn’t sound like much, but if you drink a cup every day it can add up to three extra pounds a year. Instead, try lactose-free, skim milk instead. Not to mention, almond and rice milk also have far less protein than regular milk (1.5 g and 1 g per cup, respectively, compared to 8 g), says Rania Batayneh, a nutritionist and owner of Essential Nutrition for You in San Francisco, Calif. Milk also has much more bone-healthy calcium, with 300 mg, compared to almond milk’s 2 mg and rice milk’s 1 mg.”

    I can only hope that it tastes just as good w/Skim milk :ohwell:
    Um... did you check out the labels yourself or are you just believing what the article says? Almond milk has fewer calories than skim milk. They must be talking about the sweetened kind.

    I love my ice coffee.

    I now make cold brew coffee with a press

    its a smoother concentrated coffee (i use a whole bag of van houte french roast per pressing)

    you leave for 24 hrs then strain again through a filter and it keeps in the fridge for at least a couple weeks.

    i use no milk and put half a sugar per cup & loads of ice.

    i find one measure of coffee concentrate to 4 of water ice mix is enough of a coffee taste and its only the calories of whatever sugar you use (can stand sugar replacements like splenda)

    If you like milk in it condensed milk is good to add so i've heard and im sure you can get all kinds of flavour shots or the flavoured coffee whitener could be a good idea too.

    yummm
