Coffee Ice Cubes + A Give-Away!

Anyone else love some iced coffee?  It's my favorite summer time drink, but I don't like when it gets watered down by the melting ice cubes.  The solution, you ask?  Coffee Ice Cubes!!

This is a brilliant idea, and admittedly it's not mine...I've seen it on Pinterest, heard about it from friends, and finally tried it after my husband suggested that we give it a whirl.  Bottom-line, coffee ice cubes are iced coffee's best friend!

Here's how we make ours...

1) Brew some coffee and pour into ice-cube trays.

2) Freeze until solid.

3) Dump cubes into a bowl.

(looks like brown agate rock crystals...)

4) Mix up some iced coffee - our favorite is Starbucks Via Iced Coffee because it's super flavorful, convenient, and lightly (but perfectly) sweetened.  We don't add a thing to it, but the coffee cubes!

5) Dump your coffee ice cubes in, and go!

As the cubes melt, your iced coffee gets that much better!  

Now for the give-away!
