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. |

My Mum still has this in her cupboard and you have instantly transported me back to camp coffee milks shakes with bendy straws when I was younger . Gawd did I think I was sophisticated. Going to look at for it at the shops now

Miss Bangs.. don't start on about 'bendy straws'...or you'll get me on the subject of these..... Do you remember the red and white stripey ones... with the accompanied tune of "Watch out watch out there's a Humphrey about'..... Ahhhhhh those were the days.......

I always drank my milk (this is when we got a free bottle at school) so the humphries never got it. 
Maybe it's what's kept us looking so young Miss Minx

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. | ||||

All supermarkets have it - probably more expensive in Waitrose too....I love Waitrose but dont buy things i can buy else where in there...Sainsbury have it.. | ||||

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! |

you just simply add milk my dear hot milk for hot coffee cold for cold! | ||||
