With Starbucks and Caribou popping up on many corners, our national love for coffee is steadily increasing. While I agree their offer amazingly tasty treats, this can sometimes spell budget disaster if you are not careful. A cup of joe from one of these suppliers can easily run you $4-$5 per visit. So stopping by to grab a quick coffee three times a week can cost around $60 a month and more than $700 a year. Wow, that is nearly a mini-vacation!
Making your own iced coffee at home is both easy and costs way less than buying out. Using the simple recipe below, you can create a mix that works for you.
Simple Iced Coffee
*Makes 2 servings.
Ingredients:
- 2 C. cold coffee
- coffee ice cubes
- milk or coffee creamer
Directions
- Make a few cups of coffee a head of time and freeze into ice cubes. These are good to have on hand whenever you want iced coffee and they won’t water your drink down.
- Next, make and chill 2 cups of coffee (2 k-cups for you Keurig owners).
- Pour the chilled coffee into an 8 oz. glass or mug.
- Add a few coffee ice cubes to keep it chilled.
- Next, add milk or creamer (of your choice).
