Perfect Iced Coffee

When It comes to coffee I can honestly stand up and say “My name is Nikki and I’m an addict”.  I drink it in the morning, evening and afternoon.  I am completely aware this is not the healthiest addiction but I have no plans to stop anytime soon :).  The one draw back to constantly drinking coffee Is the brushing of my teeth after every cup to ensure I won’t get coffee drinkers mouth.  So when warm temps roll in I’m delighted the opportunity to sip out of a straw and give my teeth a break.

This easy iced coffee is a perfect at home alternative to expensive chain coffee shops but taste much better and makes enough for several days.

Enjoy!
