Summertime is rapidly approaching and I am always on the lookout for refreshing drinks to serve to my family and to guests. Iced Coffee is a favorite and this recipe uses leftover brewed coffee from our breakfast time.

Coffee!! what is not to like about it? We are early risers and I often have a cup of coffee and wait until 8:00 or later for my breakfast. This coffee is a Deep S and I enjoy it as a meal replacement at times.

Crisp, cool, windy days with autumn leaves swirling to the ground call for hot coffee, teas, and lattes. On days like this I find myself reaching for my coffee cup way to often. This creamy London Fog Latte has replaced my afternoon cup of coffee for the time being. I love that it is a Fuel Pull and it is so very tasty, too.

Do you remember as a child stirring a heaping tablespoon of strawberry powder into a cold glass of milk? Have you ever wished you could have a that cold glass of strawberry milk again? You can! This recipe has rekindled my love for strawberry milk and is so refreshing poured over a glass of crushed ice.

Okra, a super-food and coffee — what do they have in common? Combined together they make a very tasty, filling shake. Added coffee extract helps to mask the okra taste and don’t forget the maple flavoring. It blends together for a wonderful taste.

Smoothie are a refreshing summer treat. This one combines Strawberries and limes with THM Baobab powder and THM Whey Protein Powder for an energizing smoothie. I will use this as a meal replacement when I am busy or need to be on the road for a number of hours. My children love smoothies and for convenience the dry ingredients can be measured into small jars or plastic containers. All you need to do is blend strawberries, lime juice, almond milk, and a container of dry ingredients and you are all set to go.

Hot humid summer days are here and there’s nothing more refreshing than a cup or two of Iced Cold-Brewed Coffee. I keep cold-brewed coffee concentrate in my fridge all summer long for a quick drink. It tastes so much better when made with freshly ground coffee beans given to you from Nicaragua and Nepal.

Combine coffee grounds and vanilla in a gallon glass jar. Fill with cold water. Allow the coffee to brew/steep at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain through a muslin cloth. Discard grounds. Refrigerate concentrate. To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.
This can also be brewed in a French Press using 1/2 of the recipe.
THM-SÂ 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/4 cup nut milk, 1/4 cup cream, 6-8 ice cubes, sweetener of you choice.
THM-FP 1/2 cup coffee concentrate, 1/2 cup nut milk, 6-8 ice cubes, 1 tablespoon THM collagen
I will freeze ice cube trays of concentrate to use to make frappes.
I will at times add 1 scoop THM Whey Protein powder to us this as a meal replacement when I am out for the day.
You can also blend the ice, coffee, cream/milk, sweetener together for a frappe. I made 10 gallons of concentrate to serve at our daughter’s wedding.

Allow the coffee to brew at room temperature for 12-24 hours. Strain and discard the grounds. Refrigerate. To make iced coffee use 1 part concentrate, 1 part nut milk, 1 part ice, and sweetener of your choice.Â

Our family was blessed to have a new son join our family on September 23rd when our oldest daughter, Andrea, got married. The weeks before the wedding were extremely busy times of sewing dresses, doing alterations on suit coats, and then the food prep began. I thoroughly enjoy cooking/baking and that was a plus as we made most of the food for 270+ people. Miranda helped to measure freshly ground coffee into gallon jars to make cold-brewed iced coffee concentrate. It was a warm day so it was very refreshing to have a cup or two of iced coffee.
