My friends, I tried Arctic Iced Coffee Caramel Latte, sitting in the shade, with a couple of colleagues, all wondering quite how to get through the day with temperatures already soaring. Yes, I’d bagsied the Caramel Latte, but there were others to enjoy: one colleague chose – Cafe Latte, and another – Intenso.
Crikey, smooth, delicious, cold (well they had been in the fridge) and it was then I realised I hadn’t had chilled coffee for years. I can remember watching Wimbledon with my mum back in the day, always with a cold coffee, her favourite summer drink.
So, Lordy, wouldn’t she have liked these. On we supped, and chatted about present day Wimbledon, until work beckoned. It was our most pleasant break in a l-o-n-g time. Plus the caffeine in the coffee ensured there was no sleeping on the job!
Arctic Iced Coffees are made down in the heart of Devon at Arctic Ice’s dairy. All of the milk is sourced from within 30 miles of the dairy from Red Tractor certified farms and known farmers. No wonder the milk seems so creamy and smooth.
The cartons are packed on site in Devon so the team know exactly what they’re putting into the products. It’s one of the things that makes Arctic Iced Coffee different.
Arctic Ice told us: ‘Our team of experts carry out their checks to ensure the milk is of the highest quality before it goes on its journey to be turned into a delicious iced coffee. Once in the dairy, the milk is then blended with the coffee, but it’s not just any old coffee, we only use Fairtrade arabica coffee beans.
‘The beans are roasted using a unique system that produces highly aromatic coffees with less bitterness. Each iced coffee variant is then made up using a mix of flavours that have been lovingly created by our team, They are then packed ready to hit the shelves.’
Oh good. we will buy more, but before I do so I must share this exceedingly naughty but fantastically delicious Long Island Arctic Coffee Slushie – perfect for a very special treat – or frankly, why wait that long – go on, have one today.
300ml Arctic Coffee Intenso, 50ml Vodka, 50 ml Gin, 50 ml Rum, 3 handfuls of ice, I tsp cacao nibs.
Place the ingredients in a blender and whizz away until the ice is crushed, and it turns into a thickened iced slushie.
This will make 2 rather delicious tumblers of utter heaven. Trust my team,it is truly delicous, we tried it.
