Memorial Day is around the corner, and even though I haven’t spent much time in the kitchen except for washing dishes because of this little dude, I thought I’d pass along this basic frozen coffee drink “recipe.”

We had some leftover cold coffee from a pot we made and forgot about, so I froze it in an ice cube tray. The water here tastes nasty without a filter, and we don’t have a filter for our freezer ice maker yet, so we pretty much can’t make any frozen drinks with ice or it will have a funky taste. Enter, frozen coffee cubes.

So easy. So cheap. So wonderful. Or maybe I’m just easily impressed. But I already want another one.

Ingredients

I kind of just made it up as I went along and tossed stuff in, so these “measurements” (ha) are approximate.

• Entire tray (12 cubes) frozen coffee
• 1 Tbs cocoa powder
• 3-4 Tbs sugar
• 1-2 Tbs heavy cream
• 1/4 – 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup milk

Directions

You kind of just toss it all in the blender, but for those who prefer formal instructions:

1. Empty frozen coffee cubes into a blender or food processor.
2. Add remaining ingredients.
3. Blend until smooth.
4. Pour into cups.
5. Insert straws.

I’ve already got another set of coffee ice cubes in the works from a pot of coffee I made solely for that purpose. My name is Hannah, and I might have a new favorite drink.
