Refreshing and full of flavor this iced coffee is GREAT. Really and truly tasty. Every winter I think I’ll never need to switch to iced coffee again, and then suddenly the heat is upon us and it’s all I want first thing in the AM. The way I made iced coffee was good, but it was a pain in the a__ to make each and every day. So when my friend Melissa told me about a new recipe she found, I was eager and ready to try. She loved it. Jason loved it (her husband) and I loved it too! I made mine with hazelnut and vanilla flavors – and Melissa, she made a strong blend (she’s a real true coffee lover) …but we are both very happy with the results. Melissa found the recipe from the blog, The Pioneer Woman Cooks. I simply followed Ree’s directions which were easy, and her write up humorous and fun. I guess my only addition is to froth my milk. I froth it in my Nespresso (the cold froth setting BTW) and then pour that on top. It looks so pretty and I look forward to it with my Healthy 5 Grain Cereal Bowl – and wow – you’d think each day was a birthday treat – but it isn’t…it is just my breakfast! Enjoy-
delicious iced coffee
Here is the link to the recipe:

Not much to add to her directions – but I will let you know that the cheese cloth can be a little tricky. I happen to have a really really fine sieve, and I bought a course grind so that helped…but just take your time. You can also split the recipe in half to make it a bit more manageable. I did the second time around and easier for me to handle.
OK, more recipes coming soon…just haven’t had the time to write them up lately!!
