Easy Iced Coffee.
Alas. It’s summer.
The days are brighter and sunnier, the smell of freshly cut grass and barbecue lingers in the air, and there’s a ton of kids in the cul-de-sac playing until dusk. But you know what? As I’m sure most of you will agree, the time is always right for coffee. Especially easy iced coffee.
At the end of last summer, when the weather was warm, I had a hankerin’ for something cool and refreshing. I had some coffee left over from my morning brew, and not wanting to waste the precious drip, I decided to get a bit creative. Not only was the product a beautiful thing to behold, but it was delicious, too!
Ever since that divine summer day, the kids have faithfully made this summer treat every Monday of the school year. Rain, snow, sunshine or hail, it’s on the menu. As a 4th grader, Abbie had gotten quite fluent with this easy iced coffee recipe.
So if you’re looking for a little refreshment, a way to use some leftover coffee, a caffeine fix, or just a new approach to your daily cup of coffee, give this a shot. It won’t disappoint.

I love iced coffee, even though I have to use decaf. My son is very picky about the coffee he drinks, and told me about one he got at Whole Foods. I believe it was cold coffee and sweetened condensed milk. He said it was great. Just thought you might like something else to try!
Ooh, sweetened condensed milk is a delicacy! I bet the kids would love that! In fact, I even got a package of coconut sweetened condensed milk I bet would work well too. I’ll let the kids know. Thank you for sharing!
