Iced Coffee

Have I mentioned how much I love The Pioneer Woman? Go check out her website http://thepioneerwoman.com and try any of her delicious recipes. You will not be disappointed! My latest find on there was the recipe on how to brew your own iced coffee. I am a coffee fanatic... Especially iced lattes. This recipe seriously tastes as good as an iced latte from my favorite coffee shop Underdog! I add in Coconut creamer and it is heavenly. I savor that baby every day now while my boys are napping!


Here is the recipe from the Pioneer Woman's website:

Ingredients
•1 pound Ground Coffee (good, Rich Roast)
•8 quarts Cold Water
•Half-and-half (healthy Splash Per Serving)
•Sweetened Condensed Milk (2-3 Tablespoons Per Serving)
•Note: Can Use Skim Milk, 2% Milk, Whole Milk, Sugar, Artificial Sweeteners, Syrups...adapt To Your Liking!
Preparation Instructions
(Adapted from Imbibe Magazine)

In a large container, mix ground coffee with water. Cover and allow to sit at room temperature eight hours or overnight.

Line a fine mesh strainer with cheesecloth and set over a pitcher or other container. Pour coffee/water mixture through the strainer, allowing all liquid to run through. Discard grounds.

Place coffee liquid in the fridge and allow to cool. Use as needed.

To make iced coffee, pack a glass full of ice cubes. Fill glass 2/3 full with coffee liquid. Add healthy splash of half-and-half. Add 2-3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk (can use plain sugar instead) and stir to combine. Taste and adjust half-and-half and/or sweetened condensed milk as needed.



*** I just used my regular coconut creamer and it's DELICIOUS!!!

My next task is to perfect a Blended Vanilla Chai Tea Latte for myself, Jess and my mama...Coming soon!
