Want to save some money when it comes to your Starbucks/CBTL/Peet’s/etc. addiction?
Sure you do.
Want some strong, cold, iced coffee waiting for you in your ‘fridge every morning?
You absolutely do.
Cute Julie passed along this method via {a bit of sunshine}.
: Cold Brewed Iced Coffee :
Super easy. Super yum.
You will need:
French Press
3/4 cup ground coffee {I use French roast}
3 Tbsp brown sugar
2 Tbsp extract of choice {vanilla, almond, coconut ~ I’ve used all three and they’re all excellent!}
Cinnamon, optional
3 cups water
*****
Take your french press and add your brown sugar, extract and a couple shakes of cinnamon if you desire. Add in your 3/4 cup coffee and 3 cups water.
Place into ‘fridge overnight.
In the morning {or for an afternoon pick-me-up} just press down the grounds and pour half the press into a tall glass with lots of ice. No need to add sugar, just your favorite creamer or a splash of milk!
{I get two servings out of one press}
Pop it into your cup holder and carry on with your day!
Be sure and give a little honk or a wave at your local Starbucks as you drive past!
{I’m not telling you to boycott your fave coffee establishments, just letting you know you can save a little green here and there when it comes to caffeinating yourself!}
Note: I enjoy the almond the most. Almond extract is easy to find, but it comes in itty bitty bottles. To remedy that, just run to your nearest Smart & Final and pick up a 16 ounce bad boy for less than 6 bucks…
Enjoy.

Oh Amy- why do you have so many good ideas? Now I have to get a french press. I love my
iced coffee- and wanting something other than McDonalds colonic : )
A must for me, too, especially this summer when nothing else sounds good. Must get some large “ball jars with handles”, too. They look so “in”!
