Iced Coffee

This summer, I've been trying to drink less of this...


And more of this...



But then I discovered this...




The summer months here at Love and Life at Leadora are hot, and even in the morning a cup of hot coffee isn't too appetizing.  So when  I saw this recipe for iced coffee on the Pioneer Woman's blog, I knew I wanted to give it a try!  

A recipe for iced coffee?... I thought iced coffee was leftover coffee with ice in it, but, boy, was I wrong.   There is quite a method to it, which is easy but takes awhile.  Also, don't be daunted by the amount of coffee and water used in the recipe.  I made only a quarter of the recipe, and my iced coffee turned out delicious!

    Thank you, I'll go check it out! Yesterday, in honor Father's Day (my daddy is in heaven), my mom gave me a frappe machine from Costco. That's a little ironic, considering that my dad hated coffee, but I only drink things with a hint of coffee in them. I like blended iced drinks because for me, they last longer.

    I hope you are having a beautiful week!

    Heather,
    That coffee looks delish! My daughter and I are both BIG coffee lovers and I can't wait to try it!
    She loves all the cold coffee drinks at SB so I think she will really like this, I know I will!

    I understand but...I LOVE diet coke!! I try to only drink 1 a day and the rest of the time just water. I have thought of trying to give it up but..it just makes me sooo happy! :) The first 3 sips of my DC are heaven! Yum..I want one now! I know this post is really about Iced coffee but Diet Coke IS my coffee! And I do like it with ice so I guess it's sort of my iced coffee! I think my love of DC makes me sound a little crazy...Oh well..Enjoy whatever you are drinking!

    I got my mom off of diet drinks and onto water. She's doing a lot better. I find so many people have tons of health problems from those diet drinks. I wish more people were aware of all the problems diet drinks cause.
