What is a good way to cool off a hot drink quickly?

ie coffee, tea...etc


Answers:
My husband pours his tea into a second cup which cools his tea down. This would work for coffee also. The idea of using ice would work but the flavour would be different.

Put a cube of ice in it.

um...ice cube...

Ice cubes work great.

Put ice in it.

put it inside the fridge for 2 minutes

Add a small piece of ice.

Add an ice cube to it and gently stir.

put it in the freezer for a few minutes

Milk if normal tea or coffee,

or ice if you have other type of tea or coffee

Pour it into a different (cold) cup.

i use a cuple of ice cubes

in coffee and tea you can put some milk
in coffee you can put some vanilla icecream in it, tastes good too
icecubes work very good but that waters it down
pooring it back and forth in a bigger cup cools it off quick

it should be cool by now !
for future hotness...
I drink coffee so I get an ice tray and fill it with coffee and put it in the freezer.
in the morning..presto ! instant coffee coolers!
and it wont dilute my coffee either
and guess what!!
if i don't have any coffee at all... I can throw all the cubes in a travel cup and heat it up in the microwave....don't get it too hot tho....you are out of coffee cubes... LOL
I actually thunk this up on my own. being a teacher I am out the door early!!!

add a lil ice to the drink

I put the non cutting end of a knife into the hot drink. It is amazing how quickly the heat will transfer to the knife. (When you take it out, it is really hot!) If you need the drink to be even cooler, add another knife or cool off the knife and put it back in.

I use a knife because it is usually the thickest metal object that is handy in a kitchen.

The advantage is that you are not watering down the drink!!

Put it in an ice bath...

Urm ice, or just put it in a mug that has a bigger top area. Fridge is best though.

If my coffee is to hot, I put an ice cube in...

I have gone to the Art Institute of New York, as a culinary major to become a chef. If you want to cool of anything quickly without diluting it, place your hot object in a container of ice water. Making sure that the hot item is in a non-breakable container when placing in the ice water. Many chef put their items in ice water to stop the cooking process. This one of the basic knowledge you need in cooking.

ice cubes

Set it in the freezer or the fridge, or add some ice cubes.
