Iced Pour Over Coffee

I love iced coffee in the morning, I use a Toddy to make a cold brew.  However, I was out this morning, so I borrowed my husbands pour over and improvised.

I really liked it.  I will be trying again tomorrow.

First, I put the finely ground coffee in the pour over, I admit to making it stronger than you would use in a regular cup of coffee.  Boiled my water, and used the hubs special pour over pot (not shown).

Started pouring over, and let it drip on the ice.  That looks like about enough.
Yes, really scientific.  Done dripping.  Then added my Unsweetened Almond Milk, some sugar free vanilla syrup, and I was ready to go.

Yum.  Yes, I will be doing it this way again tomorrow.  I may have found my new favorite Iced Coffee.  Oh, the blend was a Bolivian blend.

Frozen Fruit Ice Cubes

Ice cubes with fruit in them.  Fancy and tasty.  
I know you are wondering what to do with all that fresh summer fruit.  
Chop it up and put it in ice cubes, use in any drink.  When the ice melts you have
yummy fruit at the bottom.

Festive, fun, fancy.







These are great added to any beverage.
Enjoy.

DIY Iced Coffee

Iced Coffee.  How do you make it?  I use the Toddy Cold Brew System.

Fill my glass with ice.
Pour 1/2 the glass with my coffee syrup.
Put in a splash of sugar free vanilla syrup.
Fill the rest of the glass with unsweetened vanilla Almond Milk.

Stir and enjoy.

Yum.
                      


                           
           
I love iced coffee on the porch.
Relaxing.

Sparkle Baby -- Sparkling Beverages


Ahh, the joys of a patio. 
It seems like everyone is trying to give up soda.  I am no exception.
My easy fix, -----Sparkling Seltzer Water, and Perrier.
I add a bit of it to everything.  Here it is added to a cherry limeaid, by True Lime, 0 calories.
I also add a bit (as always to taste- just try)...anyway, add it to iced tea, like a peach or berry tea.

Perrier with a twis of lemon or lime is great too.  Love the fizz.  You can also add your Perrier to
your lemonade drinks and tea as well.

For me it is the fizz in soda I like.

Want a cocktail feel, without the alcohol?  Remember club soda and lime? 
Very retro, super cool, tart and tangy.  Serve in a highball glass.
