The Last Iced Coffee Recipe You'll Ever Need!

I love Iced Coffee.

No... I Love Creamy Iced Coffee.
I Love Creamy and Sweet Iced Coffee.
But...
I HATE paying over $4 a glass for it at some fancy-schmancy coffee house!

After literally years of trying, I have found it!
I have figured out how to make the perfect creamy & sweet Iced coffee for pennies a glass!

I'm gonna show ya how!

First...
You have to make your coffee concentrate.
(This is the only part of the process that takes some time)
Don't worry, the gallon of coffee concentrate you end up with will make enough to last you for a month in the fridge!

You do NOT want to brew a normal pot of coffee for your iced coffee.
You want to cold-brew it.
This leaves you with a smooth, acid-free coffee base that we all love for a refreshing cold drink.

Iced Coffee Concentrate.

Ingredients-

1 gallon water (I buy a gallon of drinking water)
1 lb bag of your favorite rich coffee (course ground if ya can get it)
Coffee filters or several layers of cheesecloth
a fine mesh strainer.
a large bowl
pitcher (big enough to hold a gallon)

Directions-

Pour gallon of water into your large bowl.
Dump the entire bag of coffee into the water/bowl.
Stir to make sure all grounds are saturated with water.
Walk away, for 12 hours or overnight.
line a mesh strainer with a coffee filter or several layers of cheese-cloth, set the strainer on top of your pitcher.
Pour (or ladle) your coffee mixture into the strainer. (this part takes awhile... I often had to walk away while it filtered into the pitcher) If using coffee filters, you might have to replace them several times during the filtering process.
Once all the coffee concentrate has been filtered, stick it in the fridge (it will last for a month!)

Sweet Cream
You can read how I stumbled onto the "Sweet Cream" recipe on my Blog

Ingredients-

1, 12oz can of evaporated milk
1, 14oz can of sweetened condensed milk

Directions-

mix both cans together, refrigerate.

Dana's Sweet & Creamy Iced Coffee

Grab your favorite glass and fill it to the top with ice.

2. Pour iced coffee concentrate into your glass, filling it a little more than half-full.

3. Add Sweet Cream into the coffee/ice glass until full (or to taste)

4. stir to combine.

5. Enjoy!

VANILLA PEACH COFFEE CAKE!!

Did you know that the fruit this summer is supposed to be the best it has been in years? Apparently, fruit loves hot weather. I personally have eaten more peaches and cherries this summer than I have in about five years just for that reason. As I have been a little overzealous lately buying peaches and cherries I found myself with a few peaches that were going to be too ripe for me to eat on the same day. That is unless I wanted to have them for every meal plus a few snacks. So I decided to make this recipe for Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake. Vanilla Peach Coffee Cake Adapted from Allrecipes.com Batter: 2 eggs 1 C milk 1/2 C oil 1 tsp. vanilla 1/2 C sour cream 3 C flour 1 C sugar 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. baking soda Topping: 5 or 6 large peaches, diced. 3 Tbsp. butter, melted 11/4 C brown sugar 1Tbsp. cinnamon 2 tsp. nutmeg 4 Tbsp. flour Vanilla Icing: 1 Tbsp. butter 1 tsp

I got the inspiration from a Chirstmas dectoration that we bought at Target. This is a very good idea and make a great enterance to your home. So here's a little something to thing about for next year. Before you know it December will be here again. You could also do something like this for an Easter theme. Enjoy! A Merry Welcome!
