The Secret to AWESOME Iced Coffee

I've been told that I make some great coffee. Which is funny since I loathed the stuff until I was pregnant with Little Man. That's right..I CRAVED coffee hard core during my pregnancies with both boys. So much so, I tried to trick my body with chocolate milk since I couldn't have a ton of coffee.

Spoiler alert: chocolate milk does not equal coffee. EVER.

And now I HAVE to have my coffee. Like I try not to talk too much in the mornings to anyone until I've had a sip or two because I'm cranky and love sleep and need coffee to help me function in the mornings.

So I've become a little obsessed with the stuff. And on one particularly hot and crazy afternoon I was in desperate need of my new found BFF to offer some caffeine help to get through the day. Except, I didn't want HOT coffee because it was 105+ degrees outside and I didn't want to take a trip to the store because then I would have to pack up the kids, drive to the store, spend $$$ at the coffee shop for 4 specialty made cups full of deliciousness.

And that's when I remembered that I had leftover coffee from that morning. AND! AND!!!! I had made some coffee ice cubes (an idea found on pinterest, of course) that I was DYING to try out and see if they were as awesome as everyone had said they would be.

Now, if someone would have told me before I drank my coffee that it would be perfection in a cup, I would have laughed.  I've never been able to make a good iced coffee hence why I always let the coffee shops do it for me but this time..this time was different. And since it was the same coffee I drink everyday with a little bit of love (aka sugar and creamer) added in, I easily concluded that the ice cubes made this coffee special. It was like the ice cubes were my coffee's love language and putting the two together was love in mug 💕
