Tips For Quick And Easy Iced Coffee
By R.L. Fielding
Coffee is a fantastic drink at any time of day, during any season of the year. That being said, a steaming hot cup of java isn’t always welcome once summer rolls around. Don’t let the summer heat deprive you of your favorite beverage when you can switch to iced coffee!
During the warmest months of the year, iced makes for a refreshing change of pace. While most cafes and shops serve these cold concoctions, you may be wondering how to get iced at home. Here are my tips for serving up delicious iced without having to break a sweat:
•Get ice.
This may seem obvious, but you need ice to help you make iced coffee. If you don’t plan ahead by freezing some cubes, you won’t be able to make iced when you want it. While plain old frozen water will do, I prefer freezing several of my favorite Keurig coffee brews in an ice cube tray. When combined with your freshly brewed coffee, these cubes won’t water the drink down.
•Brew coffee.
Next, brew your favorite variety. While you’re welcome to use a regular drip brewer or instant coffee, I prefer my Keurig single cup maker. To make a cup of in less than a minute, all I have to do is pop one of the K Cup portion packs into the machine and press a button. This allows me to brew multiple cups and different flavors very quickly – which means I can pour the fresh over the cubes and start drinking iced that much sooner!
•Mix things up.
Once you’ve poured your freshly brewed over your frozen cubes, you can either drink it straight or add a splash of your favorite liquor. I recommend the flavors of coconut rum, Irish cream, butterscotch schnapps or crème de menthe. If you’re in the mood for extra flavor but don’t want alcohol, try adding a few drops of vanilla or adding some Italian-style flavored syrups.
•Try something different.

If you’d like a more slushy drink, skip the hot coffee. Simply throw a cup of the frozen cubes into a blender and give it a few pulses. Don’t over do it with the blender or you’ll end up with soup. Pour the crushed cubes into a mug and serve with a straw or spoon.
Another fun idea is to create a dessert by freezing your favorite brew in an ice pop mold. If you don’t have an ice pop mold, freeze plastic spoons into the cubes you make in an ice cube tray. Once your pops are frozen solid, remove them from the tray and enjoy. Be careful not to consume your chilled treats too quickly – it might be the first time you get brain freeze from your coffee!
