Iced Coffee Recipes
This video shows you how to make exceptional cold brewed coffee!How To Use The Toddy!
Making iced coffee is not only a delicious way to enjoy our beloved beverage, but it will also save you a boatload of cash! To make this process simple, learn how to cold brew coffee. You can either do this in a french press or with the Toddy. The Toddy will create a larger volume, which you can store in the fridge and use the concentrate for your daily iced coffee. Below, I have listed a few favorite iced coffee recipes. If you are looking to consume several glasses, I would recommend the ‘Skinny’ versions. Drinking several glasses that contain sweetened condensed milk and cream could have a negative impact on your bikini body!
Iced Coffee Recipes

Iced Coffee Tips
- I always use coffee ice cubes, as they will not water down my drink, like the water based cubes do. If you find that your cubes are too strong, simply mix in some milk, cream, or water before freezing!
- Mastering the perfect iced coffee is part of the fun! Try variations of these recipes to find your magical mix. Coffee is all about personal preference, so please mix it up!
- Start with fresh roasted, specialty coffee! You will never create your dream beverage with instant coffee or store bought beans. These coffees are all stale and trying to revive them is a pointless endeavor.
- Cold brew your coffee to eliminate the burnt flavors. When coffee is cold brewed, it highlights the natural sweetness of the coffee.
- You can store the cold brewed concentrate in your refrigerator for up to 4 weeks. Be sure to tightly seal your cold brew concentrate. Failing to do so will result in your beverage absorbing flavors from other items in the fridge. Nobody likes onion flavored coffee!

#Coffee. Simple. Beautiful.
Coffee. Simple. Beautiful
Everybody wants to make coffee complicated. Whether it’s the name of the beverages, changing the name of the sizes, or inventing $20K brewers. There are a zillion fancy coffee gadgets out there, many cost hundreds and even thousands of dollars. I’m one to geek out with coffee as much as the next guy or gal, but often, the best coffee is the simplest coffee. Hot water and ground coffee are the ingredients, we just need to combine, then separate them. This image is to emphasize that coffee isn’t complicated, coffee is simple. Coffee…Simple…Beautiful!
