Why does my flavored coffee creamer taste weird in iced coffee?

[Anonymous]

I love flavored coffee creamer (don't come for me, I literally don't care what it's doing to my body) in hot coffee, but sometimes I just want iced coffee or cold brew. I don't like it black, but my typical preferred creamers just taste WEIRD in cold coffee. it's like it doesn't mix well or something. Is it me? Am I crazy? Maybe I should just switch to regular milk for iced coffee?

Is it cream/milk based, like the Chobani ones? (Which are natural, no weird additives) Or soy/oat/whatever?

Or is the CoffeeMate kind?

It's the International Delight or CoffeeMate kind, usually. So it's refrigerated, but technically listed as non-dairy.

Maybe switch to the one I mentioned? I use it in hot or cold coffee, and it's delicious. It's also not doing anything bad to my body. It's just milk, cream, sugar, and "natural" flavors, whatever those might be.

This is why it tastes weird:

Water, Sugar, Palm Oil, Contains 2% or less of: Sodium Caseinate* (A Milk Derivative), Dipotassium Phosphate, Carrageenan, Mono and Diglycerides, Natural & Artificial Flavors, Sodium Stearoyl Lactylate, Salt.


It's full of weird stuff.

Hush.

It likely tastes weird because the ice waters it down a bit. I've also found that you don't need nearly as much creamer in iced coffee vs hot, so maybe try adding less.

I liked the pre-mixed cold vanilla Chobani for this reason!

probably because the oil based "creamer" needs to melt to blend the flavors.

This makes sense.

Unlike PP, I find I use more creamer in iced coffee. Maybe I just like it sweeter. But I think you should switch to this, both for flavor and health. it really is good.

I think the palm oil congeals when it’s cold.

Isn't it full of stuff that needs to kind of melt into liquid? I think you need a hot liquid to mix so that stuff can properly distribute itself. It's like the powder you have to mix and mix and mix into hot coffee, because it loves to clump.

This. If you want to flavor cold coffee try a syrup which will mix in better

I know what you mean. I agree with the others, try something more natural, OR learn to love it black.
