There's a good thread about it on here somewhere but I tried to search it and couldn't find it. So here goes.

Place one half cup of instant coffee crystals in a cup and add a few drops of boiling water. Use as little as possible, but you want the coffee to break down some. Then empty one can or Borden's condensed milk into a pan or bowl heat on the stove or microwave until it is heated slighty, now mix the coffee paste into the warm condensed milk, auntil it makes a nice think almost fudgy paste. Thats one way to do it I'm sure there are others. I've discovered its more an art then a science to get it right so there is some play in the receipe. Good Luck!

There is an excellent research article at www.fugawee.com (the shoe company), just scroll down to instant coffee. They list period correspondance, regulations, and receipts.

Thank you all,
I shall give it a good old college try. Now does anyone know where I can get a printable label for the coffee?

I was viewing the essence thread two days ago. Here's the link : http://www.authentic-campaigner.com/...ad.php?t=13288 I post it to thank a particular moderator on this forum for combining a zillion food related threads into one place to make in an effort to make things easier to find. The substantial downside is that you have to go through a hundred plus pages - not posts - to make sure you've gone through it all. It didn't make things easier.

I nearly posted a snide response two days ago, but thought I'd give it a rest instead. Okay. I've rested. I've made my snide remark. Your turn, moderator.
