This is my new favorite summer drink to start the day! I love how easy it is to make and I love saving money by skipping the drive-thru! Thank you!
I am with you on skipping the drive-thru. It saves so much money!
I added a small drizzle of chocolate syrup and it tastes great!
That drizzle of chocolate syrup is definitely the way to go. It’s the perfect way to give it just a dash of sweet! I hope you have a wonderful weekend Angie!!
Out of this world delicious. I don’t think I could drink iced coffee any other way. I will be making this every day!! YUM
I am so glad you like it Maria. I hope you have a beautiful week!!
I’ve never been much of a Starbucks guy myself. I just prefer my coffee at home. But I will say that this coffee slush is a copycat that I definitely need to make! I love coffee in recipes – whether its fun coffee drinks like this one or even desserts. I should make some extra coffee this morning and freeze it for later in the week – thanks for the easy idea here!
I am with you. I definitely prefer making my own coffee at home. It tastes better and is way less expensive!
Can I use store-bought cold brew coffee in place of brewing my own?
Absolutely! That should work just fine. 🙂
Hi any substitute for half and half?
If you’re out of half and half, an easy substitute is to use 75% whole milk, 25% heavy cream. Hope that helps!
