Before I get to the carnival topic, I have to post this picture that I forgot to include in
yesterday's post. A few of you mentioned how nice the trees are in our neighborhood, which is definitely true. There are lots of large trees. This is something else that I missed in our newer neighborhood in Iowa.
Moving on, Deb (
storybeader) also picked the topic of favorite summer recipe for the Blog Carnival. I posted earlier this summer about how I love iced tea when I did my tea feature. I also love iced coffee. I don't drink it very often because I don't want to start a caffeine addiction. But it's a wonderful treat once in a while, especially in the summer. My brother stayed with us over the weekend and made coffee. There was a little left over so I jumped on the chance to make some iced coffee at home.
I don't keep a lot of beans on hand. We used some Hy-Vee brand beans that I got back in Iowa. I stuck the leftover coffee in the fridge so I didn't need to add a ton of ice. I also added a little bit of milk and a couple spoons of sugar. Recipe Girl has a wonderful iced coffee tutorial with photos
here. I came across it through
foodgawker a couple weeks ago. I was going to use it for a future link list but you all get to enjoy it a little earlier than that for this carnival.
I love anything cold and icy! I've making these this summer too!
ReplyDeleteCaffeine addict here! I love iced coffee in the summer!
ReplyDeleteUmmm, I do not do caffeine but I do so enjoy iced decaffeniated coffee w/sugar & vanilla almond milk.
ReplyDeleteI've never drank iced coffee before - think it's something I need to try! Sometimes we'll have left over coffee from breakfast - now I know what to do with it! {:-D
ReplyDeleteMandy and Edi, I'm glad that some of my readers enjoy this, too.
ReplyDeleteRe, I should get some decaf beans! Not that I need to drink more coffee...but it would be a nice option. Vanilla almond milk sounds good.
Deb, you'll definitely have to try it sometime!
