Let’s Talk Iced Coffee

Let’s chat about iced coffee, shall we? That glorious morning (or afternoon, or hey, even evening) pick-me-up. You know those days, scorching summer or not, when you just crave a refreshing cup of iced coffee?? (Because yep, some of us totally drink it year-round! Hi, it me!!)

The problem is, life as a mama gets busy. Between the kids, being a mom, managing the house and doing the housework, focusing on the job that makes us money (I say this because being a mom IS a job – just an unpaid one!!), and a million other things, our delicious iced coffee can easily turn into a watered-down mess by the time we finally get back to it. Been there, sighed dramatically over that lukewarm drink. Gahhh.

But fear not, mama friends! There’s a magic solution to this dilemma: coffee cubes!

Why Coffee Cubes Are a Game-Changer for Busy Moms

Let me tell you, coffee cubes are a serious game-changer for SO many reasons. Picture this scenario: you make a beautiful iced coffee, take a glorious sip, then get pulled in a million directions. Finally, you remember your coffee, but it’s not the same anymore. The ice has melted, diluting the coffee and leaving you with a not-so-delicious drink. Ugh. We’ve all been there, right? I know it’s not just me!

Side note: there are 100% bigger problems in the world, but hey, a watered-down iced coffee can be a real downer! This is a judgment-free zone for complaining about this minor inconvenience, because let’s be honest, it’s annoying!

That’s why I consider coffee cubes to be the most epic hack for this common mama problem!! They keep your iced coffee cold without watering it down, so every sip is just as delicious as the first. Plus, they’re incrediblyyy easy to make.

By the way, this handy dandy ice cube tray container is everything and more! It allows you to make a ton of smaller sized ice cubes in one go, and then you can store them in the container! Once frozen, when you go to take the cubes out of the trays, you don’t have to work all that hard. You just flip a tray over, put it in the bin, and diagonally push down on the cover. The cubes should all pop out! If they don’t, you can wait a few minutes and try again but it works for me and we love it!! Linking a few versions below!

Ingredients

  

• Freshly brewed coffee your favorite kind, of course.
• Ice cube tray
• Optional: sweeteners milk, or flavorings

Instructions

 

• Brew Your Coffee: Make a pot of coffee just the way you like it. I only drink decaf, but you do you!
• Add Extras (Optional): If you like your coffee a bit sweeter or flavored, this is the time to add in some milk, a few drops of vanilla extract, your favorite syrup flavoring (lavender is my go-to these days!), or even a bit of your favorite sweetener to the pot. Give it a little stir.
• Pour into ice cube tray: Carefully pour the coffee into your ice cube tray. Fill each compartment almost to the top.
• Freeze: Place the tray in the freezer and let the cubes freeze completely. This usually takes about 4-6 hours.
• Enjoy!: Pop a few coffee cubes into a glass, pour your fresh coffee or milk over them, and enjoy a perfectly chilled, undiluted iced coffee. YUM!
