Iced Coffee has changed my life...

Coffee is one of those things I think i'm going to be stuck with for the rest of my life.  I just don't see myself breaking off my 11+ year engagement with that rich, nutty, caramel colored (and sometimes flavored) beverage.  I could easily drink coffee all day long.  And I usually do.

However, in an effort to save some money I have REALLY tried to make coffee at home more often.  D used to make me coffee almost every morning before work, but he has recently kicked the coffee habit and therefore no longer has the incentive to get himself out of bed (I can't say I blame him) And, unfortunately, I just have not mastered the French Press like he has...

That's when The Pioneer Woman, Ree Drummond, comes in with exactly what i've been looking for.  The perfect recipe for the perfect DIY iced coffee.

I want to be Ree when I grow up.

I made a huge batch of this with One Village Coffee's"Smart Blend" and have been drinking it non stop.

I add a little bit of pure maple syrup for sweetness (not pancake syrup people...PURE maple syrup...huge difference) and some Silk Soy creamer....
