How long should you keep your iced coffee?
Ok so everyday, I have an iced coffee with cream. I don't always, drink it all right away. I'll be away from desk or just plain so distracted that I forget about it til lunch. (Usually three hours after I bought the coffee. Usually they drench the coffee in ice cubes so there is always a few left by noon after buying it around 8-8:30. But my question is by this time has the cream gone bad even though it is chilled. I think of resturants that use those cream packets and keep them chilled sometimes up to all day not in an actual refridgerator. Just wondering. Thanks!

3 hours after the temperature of the drink rises.

it depends how much you have
What about getting bottled ready-to-drink coffee, this way you don't have to worry about it.
