The Best way i have found to make iced coffee :)

I have had many iced coffees over the last few years, some at home, and some from coffee shops. Some delicious, and then... some not so much.

Now i have found the prefect way to make the best ice coffee at home. Its always ready, and always cold, all day long :)

Now this was involves using left over coffee and drinking it later that day or even the next day. My husband thinks that's gross because he can taste that its old, I personally can't taste the difference from a fresh one made 2 seconds ago, and the ones I make from my fridge. But I'm also not a picky person when it comes to my coffee. So I'll save you time, if you don't like the idea of drinking yesterdays coffee today, stop reading. :)

So here goes!

First, Brew hot coffee like you would normally do, how ever much you want, i promise none will go to waste. (The first time you will want to make a full pot to dedicate to this, but once you get a stash going in your fridge, you wont need to brew large hot pots (unless you want to) you will just be able to add the extra to keep your supply up :)

Feel free to enjoy a hot cup of coffee now, because your perfect iced coffee won't be ready until later.

Take an empty ice cube tray, and fill all the the squares with the coffee and place in the freezer.

Then take the rest of the hot coffee your not going to drink now and put it in a container with a cover in the fridge. (If you do like sugar in your coffee I like to add it now while its hot, just so it melts better, but that is just a personal preference.)

Now we just wait, wait for the coffee in the fridge to chill and the coffee ice cubes to freeze. And when they do, you will have the best tasting, home made iced coffee that will stay so cold all day because everything is already so cold to start with.

The special part is the ice cubes! Have you ever gotten an ice coffee, at a restaurant and the ice melts before you can drink it.. and waters it all down... gross. Don't add regular iced cubes, add ones made of more coffee of course! so when they melt, it will just add more coffee to your glass! How simple and how genius! If you like a sweet coffee with cream and sugar like I do, you may need to add more sugar and creamer as the ice melts to keep your flavor right. (I have not tried freezing coffee that is already mixed with cream and auger to see if that would work, but I should try that! Then as it melts it would still add the same flavor to the coffee! If you try it before I get a chance, leave it in the comments below and tell me how it turned out!)

With this recipe, your home made ice coffee will taste great and be fresh and cold ALL day. :)
Try it out and let me know what you think!!
