Thanks to a baby who still doesn't sleep well at night I've been upping my caffeine intake. On particularly bad mornings I even brew coffee. I am not a fan of black coffee, I prefer it sweet and creamy. I have a great iced coffee recipe that we've used from time to time, and it makes about 10 cups.
Iced Coffee
8-10 cups strong coffee
1 can of sweetened condensed milk
*optional chocolate syrup to your taste
Mix it up in a small pitcher and keep it in your fridge. Then whenever you want some iced coffee just grab a glass full of ice and pour the coffee on it!
Now this recipe is great, but this morning I didn't have time to brew 10 cups of coffee (in our little 4 cup maker) nor did I want that much on hand. So I thought I'd wing it and I just added sweetened condensed milk to taste.
Adding condensed milk is much easier now that Trader Joe's makes a re-closeable squeeze bottle. Have you seen these? Perfect for adding a little to your cup of coffee, and it's even organic! Also much less sticky/messy than the canned kind.
So save some money and make your next iced coffee at home!
Tried it today and it was great! Much better than I expected it to be. Thanks for the suggestion Anne.
ReplyDeleteHa, what a vote of confidence. :) High praise though from my coffee loving sister!
DeleteYum! I need to find that sweetened condensed milk squeeze bottle!!! Genius.
ReplyDeleteI just mixed up a batch and added about a cup of caramel icecream topping instead of chocolate syrup. OMG! I'm in love. McDonald's was about to break my bank, $4 each. So much cheaper! Thanks for sharing this recipe!
ReplyDeleteHooray, so glad you like it! And wow, I didn't realize McD's cost so much!
