THANK THE LORD FOR KEURIG

When I wake up, I try to always start the morning with a little God time. On the top of the thankful list today were my sweet friends...and coffee. You see, last year I gave up caffeine- not technically, but I made a little pact to myself that every time I would normally order a pop or a coffee, I'd substitute it by ordering a water. I'm the kind of girl who, when i go out to eat, will drink refill after refill simply because I'm just not paying attention- so my whole deal worked out pretty great...until this semester started. Early mornings + late nights, I'll be the first to admit, are not my thing. I feel like the cliche college student- addicted to coffee, but kind of poor ($4.23 every day at the cafe isn't very realistic!). but today i fueled my own obsession with our new Keurig!

So, thank you God, for great friends (who have Keurigs...)!

How to make iced coffee with a Keurig:

Be sure to use the strongest/darkest kcup you can find! i used the cafe verona dark blend from starbucks (available at target, too!). Because the milk will dilute, a medium blend won't work well.

After making, refrigerate for at least 1 hour. If the coffee is hot, or at most warm, it will melt the ice- which kind of defeats your purpose, huh?

Once your coffee is nice and chilled, fill glass full with ice, then fill about 1/3 with milk (or more if you'd like-  just be sure to leave room for the coffee).

I added a splash of vanilla latte syrup and a paper straw, because everything tastes better out of a cute straw, right?
