I used to have a tearoom and used Camp to make iced coffee, with lots of whipped cream on the top.
Its also good for flavouring in coffee and walnut cake and coffee icing too.

it is an essential ingredent in homemade coffee ice cream which, i have to say ladies, is one of the most devine things in the world.

Ohhh just seen this thread!

I have seen camp coffee in the supermarket but have never been sure what to do with it.

so do you just mix it with boiling water like you could with coffee granules then add milk? I like the sound of camp coffee with cold milk like a frappe...hmmm... might have to buy some and experiment!
