What method do you use to prepare your coffee or tea?
Submitted by AgentBouche.
What I do is, I go to the coffee shop (Barnie's is quite good*) and I ask for an iced coffee. That, or I go to the kitchen and stir a few spoonfuls of Nestle Frappe powder** into a glass of milk.
*Please don't hate me. Unfortunately there aren't any non-chain coffee places in Dublin that serve iced coffee, let alone good iced coffee.
**For some reason they don't sell it here, so whenever my mam goes to the continent on holiday I ask her to get some for me. What's with the iced coffee/frappe hating in Ireland? I don't get it.
[this is good] What is frappe? I'm not even familiar with it.

There should really be an accent on the last 'e'. It's a creamy iced coffee, essentially. Not as thick as a milkshake, not as thin as a cold coffee with ice in it. Think Starbucks' frappuccino and you get the idea (although they're expensive and, come to think of it, mostly flavourless after the first 5 minutes).
I like coffee. But I don't like hot drinks. So my choices are limited.
