I like to fancy myself a morning person; even on the weekends I tend to wake up early and can usually jump out of bed ready for the day. But to keep that energy up, I must have coffee. I don’t think I’ve gone a day without coffee for almost 10 years. And as much as I love a hot pot of coffee in the morning, the Kansas summers are just way too humid for this. Hence, I switched to Starbucks iced coffees; they’re a delicious and cool way to get my caffeine consumption without adding to the unbearable heat and humidity we’re experiencing. If you’re an every-day coffee drinker like me; however, you know Starbucks can get expensive (and fattening!) depending what you get. To alleviate this issue (and save more of my hard-earned money for the items on my wishlist), I devised a delicious DIY iced coffee that is easy to make on a busy morning, transportable to work, inexpensive, and super-low in calories. Plus, it doesn’t have too sweet a flavor and the coffee-flavored ice cubes keep it from getting too watery. What will you buy with the money you save?
