This easy iced coffee is for those who want to save some money. You already know you can make great iced coffee at home.
As the heat rises outside, hot coffee seems silly. It seems like everywhere they sell you a good iced coffee: gas stations, convenience stores, Starbucks, Dunkin’ Donuts…
Don’t buy them!! Make your own and save money, calories and save the environment. Look at you, all ecogroovy with your Mason Jar.
Iced coffee is easy to make and I’ve been talking about homemade iced mochas for years. 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 space on my kitchen counter for another appliance, but you can use your drip coffee maker and carafe.
Next, fill a 1.5-cup Mason jar (or whatever else you want to use) about halfway with coffee.
Store it in the refrigerator for when you are ready to enjoy it. The Mason Jars will be staring at you when you open the refrigerator waiting for action. If you have a partner or child who could steal them, hide them behind.
When it’s ready, take it out of the refrigerator, add ice and whatever else you like in your coffee. I like mine with a little bit of milk. If you add sugar, it is best to use a sugar syrup like agave syrup because it takes a while for the sugar to dissolve in the cold coffee.
If you like the flavors, add vanilla or chocolate syrup and enjoy!!
Remember that your drink is portable too, so there’s no need to hand over more dollars to Starbucks or Dunkin’.
