Guide Review - Ice Java Syrup

Though I generally have freshly brewed coffee on hand, sometimes it can be handy to use a syrup to whip up a glass of iced coffee.

All you're supposed to do, is add syrup to cold milk for an instant iced coffee. I tried the French Vanilla flavour. I did find that it make an excellent glass of sweetened milk, I really wouldn't call it iced coffee. It was sweet, with a touch of vanilla. No real coffee taste to it at all.

This syrup would never replace a real iced coffee, but I have found that it makes a nice sweetener for a cup of hot coffee. A couple squirts blended nicely and had good flavour. Overall, Ice Java is a nice addition to a cup of coffee, but won't replace it.
