As the heat cranks up outside, hot coffee just seems silly. It seems that everywhere is selling you a nice cold iced coffee – gas stations, convenience stores, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts……
Don’t buy them!! Make your own and save yourself some money, calories, and the environment. Look at you – all ecogroovy with your Mason Jar.
Iced coffee is easy to make and I have been talking about homemade iced mochas for years now see how to make an iced mocha at home and how to make a Starbucks iced mocha.
All you have to do is brew some coffee. I use a French press because I don’t have room on my kitchen counter for another appliance but you can use your drip coffee maker and carafe.
Then you fill a 1.5 cup Mason jar (or whatever else you want to use) about 1/2 full with coffee.
Store it in the fridge for when you are ready for a treat. The Mason Jars will be looking at you when you open the fridge waiting for action. If you have a partner or child who might steal them – hide them in the back.
When you are ready, take it out of the fridge, add ice, and anything else that you love in your coffee. I like mine with a little bit of milk. If you add sugar, it is better to use a sugar syrup like Agave Syrup because it takes a while for sugar to dissolve in cold coffee.
If you like flavors add vanilla or chocolate syrup – and enjoy!!
Remember your drink is also portable so no need to hand over more dollars to Starbucks or Dunkin’.
