Iced Coffee Heaven!!

I have said before it’s the little things…and boy oh boy…this time it was nothing short of the truth!! I was so ridiculously excited about this indulgence that I felt like little kid at Christmas! Ridiculous people. Ridiculous!
So after months of watching our account drain at McDonalds for Iced Coffees, I finally broke down and purchased one of these:

All I can say…is AMAZING!! If you are contemplating getting one, or if you even simply enjoy cold-brewed coffee occasionally, this will not disappoint. For around $35 (plus the cost of your coffee beans) you can have some brewing in your fridge in a matter of 10 minutes!

Directions and ingredients are listed on the pamphlet, but they go something like this:
*12 oz Course Ground Coffee (this time we used a Seattle’s Best Summer Edition called Beach House…I spoiled us and had it fresh ground before I went home! TO.DIE.FOR!)
*7oz cold water

* Once you’re done assembling the simple plastic steeper (literally 3 steps, wash, insert filter, insert cork), you pour in one cup of water.

* Then 6oz of ground beans.

* Then slowly in a circular motion you pour 3 cups of water over the beans.

* Then the remaining 6oz of beans over that.

* Follow that with your remaining 3 cups of water…again in a circular motion.

* Then you gently push any dry grounds with the back of the spoon to make sure all grounds are   

   dampened. (You are told repeatedly…do not stir them or you will clog the filter!)

* Then you place the steeper in your fridge! In the morning walah…you have 7 delicious cups of coffee

   concentrate. It goes into the glass carafe and can be stored for 2 weeks! 

I made my first ice cappuccino with 4oz of coffee, 12oz of skim milk, vanilla extract and sugar. It was simple, healthy and as I stated earlier…AMAZING!!!!!

We purchased ours at Borders, but you can also find them online as well at toddycafe.com. It’s true love!
