Exhibit A:
Of course this became more relevant in the Seattle summers working in an non-air conditioned warehouse in South Seattle..but I digress.
Seeing as Australia is hot most of the year, I was sure they would be Kings of chilled Coffee. But. But if you order an iced coffee here you get a smidge of coffee, ice cream, and milk. It's more like a root beer float.
Exhibit B:
At first I was offended. And saddened. It didn't give me a caffeine fix...it was dessert that all Australia cafes served.
But now, it's 3pm on a Tuesday afternoon. I just made some french press. And instead of milk, I added ice cream. Totally guilt free. Because I am immersing myself in Australian culture...that's what this year is about, right?
When my friend and I were in Spain, it was boiling hot and she ordered an iced coffee - what she got was hot coffee with a few sad lumps of ice cubes in it that quickly melted into a sea of now still-warm-and-kind-of-watery coffee. Then we found a starbucks, and my friend was happy.
