Save Money and Make Your Own Iced Roasted Coffee This Summer

One of the most delicious ways to cool down on a hot summer’s day is with an iced roasted coffee. But if you’re not careful, you can find yourself spending all the change in your wallet on iced coffee from Dunkin’ Donuts and Starbucks every day.

Making your own iced coffee is simple, cheap and often more satisfying than store-bought or made to order iced coffee, which can sometimes be insipid. When you make your own, you can ensure you get the right intensity of flavor and the milk and sugar just the way you like it.

To make a quick iced coffee for one, start with your favorite dark gourmet ground coffee. Put a heaped tablespoon of coffee and white sugar to taste in a tall plastic cup. Cover with just enough boiling water (about an inch) to dissolve, stirring well. Then, fill the rest of the cup with cold water and/or fresh milk, as desired. Finally, top with plenty of ice cubes and vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for a really decadent drink.

If you want to enjoy your iced coffee on the go, simply put a lid on your plastic cup, add a straw, and you’re done. You’ve just made an iced coffee that’s bound to be better than Starbucks’ and saved money in the process!
