Unknown said...: Yep! This is my favorite way to enjoy my iced coffee, too! I think I'll be enjoying some today! Sometimes I make extra coffee in the morning then refrigerate it so it's nice and chilled. That way if I don't have the coffee ice cubes I can still enjoy an iced coffee.

Have a great day!; July 22, 2010 at 11:44 AM
Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise) said...: Mmmmmmm, looks marvelous! Every once in a while I'll add coffee to the protein soy shake I make in the afternoon. Tastes marvelous!!!

Bevy @ Treasured Up and Pondered said...: I love Iced Coffee and yours like an art form... beautiful.

I use 12 cups strong, brewed, chilled down coffee. Add one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Pour over ice. REAL whipped cream and a drizzle of carmal or chocolate syrup.
(no calorie watching here, I guess)

We'll be making some of this on vacation to be sure.; July 22, 2010 at 4:36 PM

You're right. Who would need Starbucks with that iced coffee around? It's a beautiful art form!

Blessings on your day.

Jessica Nunemaker said...: While we pretend that starbuck's doesn't exist in our house -- that's so not little Indiana! -- our local mom and pop coffee shop doesn't have ice coffee (her smoothies make up for that)...so we have been addicted to our own recipe for two weeks now.

Good thing we drink decaf! Ha ha!; August 12, 2010 at 7:56 AM
