This looks so good! Speaking of iced coffee ... I read somewhere about pouring leftover coffee in an ice tray to later use the coffee cubes for instant ice coffee.
Thanks for sharing, I love iced coffee, looks very good, have a lovely week!.
My college roommate used to do this all the time during the summer. It was the perfectly chilled way to start the day.
printing out this post now...thank you! I'll cheers to you when I have my first glass!
happenstance-
well that's a pretty darn good idea.
Sounds pretty perfect! Can not wait to get all cracked out on coffee again once the baby is here ha!
Ooh, yum. I could go for that right now...
I posted this exact recipe myself a few months ago - my family swears that iced coffee is coursing through my veins, I love it so much. This is truly the best way to have it, and the "coffee cubes" up it considerably!
I so appreciate how seriously you are taking iced coffee. It is VERY serious, important business. And I love it.
Oh yum. Makes me crave one now! xoxo
my husband loves a good iced coffee definitely will have to try your recipe for sure.
My one experience with cold-brewed coffee was so embarrassingly off-kilter. I ended up insisting John take me home from a concert because I was so jittery–these days, I stick to shocked tea!
but you can make *magic* iced coffee by adding 1/2 tsp of cinnamon and 1 1/2 TB of brown sugar to your coffee recipe and let it set overnight/strain/etc...and have a fantasy filled morning.
dressing on the side-
magic coffee!! trying this.
rebecca-it's really good although I double your coffee recipe and double the cinnamon and brown sugar I quoted before to go along with it--becuz I be drinkin lots of it.
Oh wow. I had absolutely no idea that there was a right way of making it. I am beyond stoked to try this out now. My attempts at homemade iced coffee usually end up down the drain....
My husband is going to be so excited.
I used to work at a coffee shop and this is how we would make it too! We called it "Toddy"! NOM!
go to blue bottle coffee. get the new orleans iced coffee. it's expensive. but it will blow your mind. trust me.
