when i wake up, i try to always start the morning with a little God time. on the top of the thankful list today were my sweet friends...and coffee. you see, last year i gave up caffeine- not technically, but i made a little pact to myself that every time i would normally order a pop or a coffee, i'd substitute it by ordering a water. i'm the kind of girl who, when i go out to eat, will drink upwards of seven refills simply because i'm just not paying attention- so my whole deal worked out pretty great...until this semester started. early mornings + late nights, i'll be the first to admit, are
not my thing. i feel like the cliche college student- addicted to coffee, but kind of poor ($4.23 every day at the cafe isn't very realistic!). but today i fueled my own obsession with a keurig!
so, thank you God, for great friends (who have keurigs...)!
how to make iced coffee with a keurig:
- be sure to use the strongest/darkest kcup you can find! i used the cafe verona dark blend from starbucks (available at target, too!). because the milk will dilute, a medium blend won't work well.
- after making, refrigerate for at least 1 hour. if the coffee is hot, or at most warm, it will melt the ice- which kind of defeats your purpose, huh?
- once your coffee is nice and chilled, fill glass full with ice, then fill about 1/3 with milk (or more if you'd like- just be sure to leave room for the coffee).
- i added a splash of coffeemate vanilla latte syrup + a paper straw, because everything tastes better out of a cute straw, right?
