Frequently Asked Questions

Use any type of coarse ground coffee that you have. You can either grind your own, or buy it ready ground. For a more authentic Starbucks flavour, I recommend getting your favourite Starbucks coffee.

You can, however, regular honey won’t mix well through your iced coffee. Not only does honey have a slightly grainy texture, but it is also thick and will harden when it is cold.

If you don’t have honey syrup, make your own by gently heating equal parts water and honey in a small saucepan until the honey has completely dissolved. Leave to cool and store your homemade honey mixture in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 1 month.
