There’s nothing better on a warm day than a big iced coffee! The problem is once the ice starts melting, your coffee gets watered down.
I have a solution I’ve been doing for years: Make Coffee Cubes
I usually brew a full pot of coffee, drink a few hot cups, and then save the rest to make iced coffee. I also use the leftover coffee and fill an ice cube tray with it. Presto- Coffee Ice Cubes!
But beware: Warn your family or roommate that you’re making Coffee Cubes or they might be quite alarmed when they see black ice cubes in the freezer.

Laura McKenna grew up in Ohio and got her first job in radio in La Crosse in 2005. She packed up her stuff, made the move, and has been in Wisconsin ever since! Her favorite season is winter but she loves to spend all summer in her vegetable garden. When she isn’t in her pink kitchen cooking up vegetarian recipes, more than likely she’s taking bubble baths, reading mystery novels (sometimes while in a bubble bath), cheering for THEE Ohio State Buckeyes, or officiating weddings! She married her best friend from college last year but they still don’t live in the same house yet. Laura’s favorite way to spend a Friday night is watching Dateline with her cat (Phil Dawson) on her lap. She’s thrilled to be keeping you company during the workday!
