Open a 500 ml PLASTIC Bottle (not glass). Drink about 50 ml.
Add two teaspoons Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals.
Recap TIGHTLY. (The coffee crystals are going to act as a nucleation site for gas release. Its going to foam like crazy, but wont initially as the first foaming will lift the crystals out of the water.)
Turn bottle upside down slowly and gently. DO NOT SHAKE. Repeat 1 to 2 times to get full mixing.
(This is going to foam like crazy). DO NOT OPEN THE BOTTLE
Place in refrigerator (overnite if possible). Do not freeze.
After several hours, open bottle slowly and carefully (over sink).
Enjoy!!
Better than Starbucks (and way cheaper)

This is too vague. I can't follow. This is too complicated. I'm confused. Oh, why can't this be easier? Think of the children. Won't anyone think of the children?!?
I admit it, I watch the CFL sometimes just to keep hearing those wacky 'nadians saying "two n owt"

I'd quote the late George Carlin right now, but I'd likely get banned permanently.....

To say the word "out" like a Canadian one must pronounce it like somewhat like a Scotsman. There were masses of immigrants to Upper Canada from Scotland during the 19th century and me and my wife who has a bachelor of linguistics, have had many conversations about how this is possibly the likely origin of the current pronunciation of the diphthong "ou" in central Canadian English. Hence the proverbial "out and about". We do not sound Scottish when we talk, however if you listen to a central Canadian pronounce the diphthong "ou", it will be almost indistinguishable from the Scottish pronunciation of the same, but only with certain words. House. About. Grout. Doubt. Out. Route. Router. Douse. Gout. Trout. Etc. However, other occurences of "ou" do not follow this pattern. Cloud. Proud. Round. Blouse. Found. These examples are generally pronounced as in the characteristic American mid-western "ow". The central Canadian pronunciation of "ou" thus remains an interesting linguistic relic preserved in modern speech. So yeah, the Hoser vernacular lives on eh.....?

Many United Staters attempt a Canadian pronunciation as "oo" rather than "ou", "oh", or "ow." I have never heard a Canadian say "aboot the hoose," unless they were mocking us. I think the "ou" most closely sounds like "oh" in Canadese.To say the word "out" like a Canadian one must pronounce it like somewhat like a Scotsman.
