Killer iced coffee

Don’t get us wrong we love the convenience of our Nespresso Pixie, but sometimes a mama needs a nice, cold cup of iced coffee – yes, even in the winter (thank you very much hot flashes…). Sure we could run to our corner coffee shop or chill our hot coffee in the fridge, but let’s be honest here, hot-brewed coffee that had been chilled isn’t all that delicious. Unfortunately cold brewing isn’t an option for us, but that doesn’t mean we have to settle. A Brooklyn coffee-brewer recently came out with a cold brew by the bottle called Grady’s Cold Brew. All you do is mix the concentrate with milk or water (one to one ratio) and pour it over ice — ahhh our caffeine and calcium fix all in one!

The concentrate is hand-brewed daily and comes with a sticker that let’s you know exactly when it was made and how long it will be good for and, given that it’s made with ground chicory and spices, the resulting drink is smooth while packing in some hearty flavor.

Just remember that when you find yourself sweating buckets in near-zero degree weather it’s the small stuff that will make you happiest…to that end, we might have to swap out ice cubes for ice cream.
