The Perfect Iced Coffee

Hey Y'all! I don't know about y'all but I am a lover of strong coffee. I am that girl who's first thought in the morning is...Where is my coffee?! My favorite way to drink coffee is over ice with a splash of milk and lightly sweetened. When I started drinking iced coffee I searched for a great recipe but all the recipes I found were either not strong enough or I had to go through 10 steps to make the coffee. After several months of experimenting I found the perfect recipe!

Grab a bag of your favorite coffee brand and flavor (I personally love Starbucks Christmas blend or Eight O'clock Central Highlands blend) and some sugar and that's all you will need for this recipe.

Fill your coffee maker with water all the way up to the 10 mark line. Add a coffee filter. With a coffee scoop or a tablespoon add twenty scoops of delicious coffee to the filter...yes you read that right...twenty scoops! Press the brew button and wait for all that deliciousness to make its way into your coffee pot.

After you have a full pot of strong coffee pour into your favorite container (I prefer a cute glass container so it doesn't stain the container.) Add 4 tablespoons of sugar to the container and stir until melted. Now just refrigerate until chilled. That's it...it's that simple! Feel free to adjust the amount of sugar or the amount of coffee to suit your taste buds!

Once chilled, fill up your favorite glass with ice. Pour that beautiful dark coffee 3/4 of the way full and fill the rest of the glass with milk, half & half or creamer...whatever you feel like that day! Now sit back and enjoy!


Look at that beautiful glass of heaven. Ahh...I think I can hear angels singing! Happy Friday! Enjoy friends!

About Me

Hey Y'all! I'm Lauren! I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Caleb. He is in the United States Marines Corps and I am a nanny to the cutest little boys you could imagine. Caleb and I are the parents to a precious little fur baby named Telfair "Telly",named after the place we got engaged.

Caleb and I have been together since our Junior Year of high school. We are goofy and loving! We make each other laugh until we cry! Our idea of date nights include Chinese or Mexican food, driving through the country laughing until it hurts and curling up watching a great movie.

I have a love for all things sweet. My passions include cooking, dancing, hiking, clothes, makeup, friends, family, organizing and lots of coffee!

My perfect day would include hiking, baking something sweet, a trip to Starbucks and Target followed by time with my handsome husband and our amazing family and friends (that have become family.)

My parents raised me to be a strong faith filled Southern girl. I love Jesus! My faith is strong and always maturing. I have had many hardships in my life but God has always been there to pick me back up.

I want to share life, love, loss, faith, joy and lots of coffee with women (and men) around the world. I hope you will join me. Welcome to Strong Coffee and a Faithful Heart!
