Recipe: Iced Coffee!
I love coffee, but when it's 90 degrees outside, not so much. Fortunately, iced coffee gives me the caffeine jolt I want, and cools me off. Here's my recipe..
I admit it, I'm a fan of caffeinated beverages. Especially a nice quadruple shot of espresso!
But when it's 90 degrees outside, a hot beverage isn't too attractive. So to solve the problem of having too much blood in my caffeinestream, I whip up a pitcher of iced coffee. Here's my recipe (which my wife swears tastes just like that commercial iced coffee in the carton).

- Brew 1 pot of coffee (10 cups). I use Illy whole-bean, but you can use whatever you enjoy most - just fresh brew it. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
- Pour the freshly brewed coffee into a 2 quart container.
- Add the 15 heaping tablespoons of sugar. (the real stuff!)
- Add 3 shot glasses of French Vanilla Syrup
- Add enough 2% cold milk to bring the liquid level up to 2 quarts
- Stir. Chill in fridge.
Enjoy your refreshing caffeinated beverage! And if you have any ideas for enhancements, let me know in the comments!
