Iced coffee…it’s a glorious drink! I didn’t discover coffee until AFTER I gave birth to three of my four daughters. I don’t know what rock I was living under but I never knew coffee could be delicious. I’ve found out that cold coffee, especially ice cold coffee is even more delicious than I could have imagined!
I’m not a huge fan of hot coffee though so most of the coffee I drink is either iced or room temp. Call me weird, that’s ok, but I like what I like.
After being so tired of the three older daughters always using up the regular coffee creamer in their milk I decided to just stop buying it and try my taste buds with half and half. I have to say I am SOOOOO glad I did! It is even better than any flavored creamer I’ve bought! Granted I add in a few things but even so it’s tasty!

The recipe is so easy to make too. You can buy everything from Aldi for a fraction of what it would cost you at the big name grocery store. Here’s what you’ll need
-
brewed coffee at room temp
-
half and half
-
sugar
-
vanilla extract
-
ice
Everyone is different when it comes to taste but I like to have a ratio of coffee:half and half 3:5….yes maybe a little heavy on the half and half but what can I say I’m living it up ;)! First, pour your coffee into your glass.
Then add in your sugar. I add 1.5 teaspoons to mine and it’s almost too sweet for me.
Don’t forget your vanilla. I usually eye ball this to be just a tiny bit but if you’re nervous you’ll pour too much use a measuring spoon. I don’t recommend putting in more than 1/2 teaspoon.
Then add in your half and half
Give it a good stir.
Add in some ice. I usually add a lot.
Then you’re done!
Such a simple and easy go to iced coffee recipe. No frills just the basics but it’s soooo good! I like to drink mine from my stainless steel straw. If you’ve never tried these you must! This is the only way I can get enough water every single day to stay hydrated.
I hope you enjoy this recipe!
