Coffee Cache

It’s only 67 degrees in Louisville right now, and that’s warm compared to what it has been, so iced coffee may not be on your mind; if you were in Hawai’i though, an iced coffee would probably sound good right now. There are a lot of good iced coffee drinks out there, but they always get watered down as the ice melts. A quick fix to that is using coffee ice cubes, and they are almost as easy to make as the water ones.

Make a fresh pot of coffee and pour into ice cube trays. Place ice cube trays in freezer for several hours. Remove and add to your favorite iced coffee drink.

You can be a little more creative by making the ice cubes in a plastic candy mold, like I did in the photos above. The ice cubes melt pretty fast, but I like the look of it while they last.

Consider adding other stuff to your coffee prior to freezing it; you could try a couple whole coffee beans, milk, sugar, cinnamon, or anything else to add a touch of flavor. You could also make seperate milk or creamer ice cubes and add a few of those along with a few coffee ice cubes to each drink for color more variety.
