Refreshing Iced Coffee
A quick and easy refreshing drink to cool you off on a hot day.
A refreshing drink like this one is delicious any time of the year especially on a hot day.
Any iced drinks would work, just so the ice is packed in.
When it’s this hot out I’m all for drinking iced drinks with breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
And one that works great for all three is iced coffee.
This iced coffee is made with fresh brewed and chilled coffee and almond unsweetened milk (or milk, cream of your choice).
It’s sweetened with sugar and for a hint of flavor, just a bit of ground cinnamon and cocoa powder is added.
And of course, the serving glass is filled to the brim with ice.

You know it’s really hot outside when you….
– Run outside to get the mail real quick in your bare feet and the concrete is so hot that you have to intermittently hop on to the grass.
– Get out of the shower and you’re already starting to sweat.
– Have to stick your face in front of a fan before putting on your makeup because your face is so sweaty.
– Put ice in a glass, and before you even start to pour water in it the ice is already melted.
– Walk into spider webs that weren’t there an hour before.

In the hot Carolina Summers we like our daily coffee iced. I make coffee each morning and if it is not completely used I pour it in ice trays and freeze it. I use the frozen coffee cubes instead of plain ice, keeps the iced coffee from being diluted and I am not pouring out unused coffee. Hint: slightly overfill the cube compartment and as it freezes the coffee cube will push up higher and be easier than ever to take out.
Hi Karen, I love that idea! What a great way to put leftover coffee to good use. And perfect to prevent the ice cubes from diluting the iced coffee. Thank you for mentioning this and the tip about overfilling the ice tray too. I’m going to try this. Thank you again and have a wonderful weekend!
