Keurig Iced Coffee...Without The "Iced Coffee" Pods

Coffee. Ahhhhhh. Just the word brings such joy to my frugal heart!

I don't know about you, but my Keurig doesn't brew cold drinks. And I love iced coffee all year round. Oh, its 35 degrees outside!? Please wait while I purchase my frappucino. That's how much I love iced coffee. 

One of my favorite lifestyle bloggers has a super easy recipe for iced coffee using the normal hot brew coffee pods. Here's the gist:

Get yourself a metal cocktail shaker. I got mine at Walmart. Because I'm classy like that.

Brew your favorite coffee blend directly into the shaker. She brews the 8oz option, but I added an extra 4oz to mine.

For the love of all things holy, use a washcloth to pick up the METAL object you just poured hot liquid into. You will, in fact, cause third degree burns on your hand without it...like I might have.

Put your metal cup of deliciousness into the freezer for about 15 minutes. If you're brewing less than me you probably don't need to leave it in there for as long.

Pour over ice and add a splash of half and half and some sugar. Stir. Sip. Enjoy!
