The hot days of summer are here, and it's perfect weather for those nice cold drinks. Sitting on the couch on a hot afternoon sipping an iced coffee is just amazing! I could easily spend a lot of money on Starbucks or McDonald's, but I make my own quite often, for less money AND fewer ingredients! Get this, you really only need TWO ingredients. Yes, two.
Almond milk and frozen coffee cubes.
Why coffee cubes? Because I HATE it when I get an iced coffee that's full of ice and it melts so quickly in the summer heat, making my once wonderful coffee all watery and gross. When the coffee cubes melt, they gently mix with the almond milk and create a great flavor! I used about a cup of almond milk and one full cup of coffee to make the cubes.
Now, you can add whatever you want to flavor your coffee. I used honey and vanilla extract, but you could easily add chocolate syrup to make it an iced mocha, or even pumpkin spice when it gets closer to Fall! The possibilities are endless, but that simple combination of almond milk and frozen coffee cubes gives you the base of a delicious iced coffee! Keep a few cups worth of coffee in the freezer at all times so you never have to go without.

Everyone is using Ice Cubes of everything this summer! Its wonderful! š
Haha, what will we think of next? =)
That's simply great! Must try it out!
I love having this as an afternoon treat!
I've seen those "coffee ice cubes" but have yet to try it. lol
I just started doing this recently and I love it!
What a brilliant idea!! Nothing bugs me more than when the ice gets watery. I always drink it anyways because i don't want to throw it out. LOL. I will have to try coffee cubes!
I know, we spend all that money on our coffee; better drink it even if it tastes all yuck. =P
Love iced coffee and I always make mine at home. The ice cubes are a great idea and I love doing that.
Come check out my version of iced coffee on the blog š
Oh cool! I'm gonna go check it out!
Looks so so good! Can't wait to try.
Thanks! I love this simple iced coffee. =)
I always request light ice when I get coffee to go. This is a great solution to the problem! I'll be trying this out at home!
That's a good idea too! I used to work at McDonalds and people did this all the time.
OMG this is seriously genius and super easy for sure. Great idea!
Thanks! I'm really thinking about getting one now. =P
This looks fun to make!
I've stocked up on almond milk just so I can keep making them. =P
I love iced coffee. I also use coffee ice cubes but never thought of using the cubes with almond milk. Do you find that your ice cube trays get gritty after a while?
I haven't noticed them becoming gritty! I have these nifty ice cube trays that are made of.... something rubbery? Something that helps the cubes slide out easier.
Nice coffee drink. This is one I'm definitely going to try and pin!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it. =)
Coffee ice cubes is a great idea! I've never heard anyone else freezing coffee into cubes before.
I heard about it recently and can't go back!
Great idea! Some days I can barely find time to brew coffee. I could do this once a week and be done!
Definitely! It makes my week go much better. =P
I'm the only coffee drinker in our house, so I love the idea of brewing once a week and freezing in cubes. Definitely going to try this with some coconut milk!
