The soaring mercury levels have us thinking we\u2019re half way through July (it\u2019s only May, in case you\u2019re thinking the same). While we still can\u2019t come to terms with sweat patches, frizzy hair and burnt skin, the one thing that we absolutely love about the start of this season is Caff\u00e8 Nero\u2019s iced coffee range.<\/p>\n

Haven\u2019t heard about this yet? *shocked*<\/p>\n

OK so our fave meeting spot have introduced the iced collection \u2013 which includes three NEW beverages such as the Tiramisu Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Cr\u00e8me, the lemon booster and the raspberry with blackcurrant booster – to glide us through this summer. Picture yourself with a glass of this indulgent Espresso topped with Tiramisu ingredients, whipped cream, cinnamon powder and blended with ice OR with either of the refreshing fruity boosters, which have no added sugar, and tell us do you see anything bad about this summer? *wink*<\/p>\n

And just in case you\u2019re curious about how this iced coffee, be it the Classic or Mocha Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Latte, Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Cr\u00e8me, Iced Latte or Americano, tastes so good\u2026let\u2019s let you in on a little secret. Caff\u00e8 Nero\u2019s star ingredient is its espresso, which serves as a foundation for all the coffee they make. To ensure it\u2019s made in the class Italian way (think full-bodied, aromatic, rich and strong), they select only ripe red\u00a0cherries when the coffee beans are handpicked. After they\u2019re, a pro roaster (by which we mean THE guy \/ girl who understands and evaluates different species of beans) comes in the picture to orchestrate a blend. This one consists of several different coffee beans from Latin and Central America and is predominantly of the Arabica variety, with a dash of Robusta to give an extra ‘kick’. Enough said.<\/p>\n

So here are the 10 only in Dubai moments to which we\u2019ve all become accustomed recently\u2026eek! (Now do you get why it\u2019s so important to have that beverage in hand to cool you down?)<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0When the \u201cshort\u201d walk to work isn\u2019t quite as short as you anticipated!<\/h3>\n

2. The dreaded afternoon drive to meetings where having the a\/c at 18\u2070C doesn\u2019t help either. Been there.<\/h3>\n

3. When you decide to sit outdoors so that you can snap your latest Insta pic!<\/h3>\n

4. Try stepping out of your office before sunset<\/h3>\n

5. When you roll down the window for a quick ciggy\u00a0<\/h3>\n

7. Waiting
\nin line to withdraw money from the ATM\u2026Good luck!<\/h3>\n

8.\u00a0Decided to avoid the covered carpark traffic and park on the streets instead? Not a very wise move, is it?<\/h3>\n

9. Family
\ntime sounds great, but not too sure if it works on the streets of Dubai<\/h3>\n

10. Maybe
\nyour \u2018morning coffee on the balcony\u2019 ritual needs a little rejigging. Unless,
\nit\u2019s an ice coffee that is.<\/h3>\n

11. Waiting for a taxi \u2026. At rush hour<\/h3>\n

13. When you’re new to Dubai and think it’s only a short walk from JLT to the beach\u00a0<\/h3>\n

14. That moment when you sign up for a boot camp session on the beach (didn\u2019t anyone remind you temperatures could go up to 50 degrees Celsius)\u00a0<\/h3>\n

Take your pick from Caff\u00e8 Nero\u2019s iced beverages:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Classic Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Latte (AED 22) is a creamy, low fat concoction of espresso, milk, ice and Caff\u00e8 Nero\u2019s special frapp\u00e9 mix. If you\u2019d like to take the taste a notch higher, opt for the Mocha Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Latte (AED 22) which is pretty much the same but with a dash of chocolate powder.<\/p>\n

The Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Cr\u00e8me comes in flavours including the BRAND NEW tiramisu (AED 25), coffee with caramel (AED 25), strawberry with vanilla (AED 24) and chocolate with coconut (AED 24).<\/p>\n

\"Iced<\/figure>\n

If you\u2019re a fan of milk, the Frapp\u00e9\u00a0Milkshakes (at AED 22 each) were made for you. French syrups mixed with ice, the frapp\u00e9 mix and milk (you have the option of skimmed or soy milk too). There are lots of options to choose from including chocolate, strawberry, mint, vanilla and banana.<\/p>\n

The Fruit boosters (at AED 22 each) include two new flavours: raspberry with blackcurrant and the second one is lemon, plus the usual mango with passionfruit and Sicilian lemonade. What you\u2019re getting here is 100% natural fruit juice (you don\u2019t have to stress about added sugars, sweeteners or artificial colour) blended with ice.<\/p>\n

\"New<\/figure>\n

The Iced Latte (AED 21) is a simple blend of espresso, milk and ice. Ditch the regular for soy milk if you\u2019re dairy intolerant and it tastes just as good. If you choose to totally skip the milk, the Iced Americano (AED21), espresso mixed with ice cubes and water, is your best option.<\/p>\n
