Well, some of the criteria are truly "enlightening": <Snip> It's nice to know they are hoping to use something food-like for this "application" I just finished my monthly latte ... still have a couple a month... research purposes, ya know! cheers, Scott On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 12:49 PM, Edward Bourgeois wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://host.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Not a problem at all. Powdered Alka-Selser tablet in with the instant powdered milk. Just add hot instant coffee.

Hey!! You might be on to something. We can all start a health trend here! Instead of Alka-selser, use Emergen-C or Airborne!! And make sure you used powdered soymilk! For the kids, perhaps you can toss some pop-rocks into a shot or two and add milk. (The evil gears are turning...) This reminds me of something.... Am I the only one here that has tired to make an espresso soda? (IE Espresso shots, a little sweetner of your choice and soda water)? Last time I did that it was not pretty.... Normally it is against my religion to dump perfectly good espresso down the drain, but... -- Ryan M.

Years ago they had something called Fizzies - it was a tablet you'd put in water & it would make a delicious (cough... gag...cough) sweet drink we'd have w/our penny candy. Located some a few yrs ago, and was shocked at how AWFUL the stuff was. Might go great with this (although I think the pop-rock idea is the best, haha). Lynne On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 4:43 PM, Ryan M.

Lynne FIZZIES, That's what came to mind for me too!. An early attempt at artificial flavorings gone terribly wrong.

It's possible to buy foaming agents, anti-foaming agents and all sorts of fabulous things from companies that also sell flavor oils and powders. I imagine a few web searches and phone calls would locate some interesting ways to create some "molecular gastronomy" monstrosity that would make Ferran Adria proud.. Here's one of his recipes: Hot Frozen Gin Fizzhttp://www.starchefs.com/chefs/FAdria/html/pina_colada_f_adria.shtmlcheers,">http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/FAdria/html/gin_fizz_f_adria.shtmlPerhaps spoonful of Pina Colada is another option to adapt to coffee:http://www.starchefs.com/chefs/FAdria/html/pina_colada_f_adria.shtmlcheers, Scott On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 5:53 PM, Lynne wrote: <Snip> Homeroast mailing list Homeroasthttp://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20">http://host.sweetmariascoffee.com/mailman/listinfo/homeroast_lists.sweetmariascoffee.comHomeroast community pictures -upload yours!) :http://www.sweetmariascoffee.com/gallery/main.php?g2_itemIdx20 |
Ah, great minds think alike! ;-) It's truly amazing that I thought those were actually tasted *good* as a kid... (granted, that was a LONG time ago...)

"Years ago they had something called Fizzies..." With zero calories and fat, not the paragon of "All Natural- Organic," they are available right now, at a candy shop at Flatirons outlet mall at Broomfield, Co. ro On Mon, Apr 19, 2010 at 3:53 PM, Lynne wrote: <Snip> -- Persist in old ways; expect new results - suborn Insanity...

God was it that long ago. I couldn't wait to get to the corner store for them... My mom said we couldn't have the Alkaselser ( I can't spell it ) cause it was medicine and bought us the Fizzies cause they made us happy and we didn't bug her about the other.

My mom used to give me a nickel - a nickel mind you! - and me & a friend would ride our bikes to our favorite corner store for penny candy, including (what I now realize are) g-d awful Fizzies. We lived in Western Mass back then - Turners Falls - have lots of good memories of that time. Lynne "I'm not really that old..."

I agree Lynne, you only as old as you think you are. Coffee helps me keep up with myself.
