Coffee Ice Cubes Recipe


The secret to keeping iced coffee strong

With summer coming, nothing hits the spot quite like a delicious iced coffee. Here’s a simple tip to get the most out of your brew — make your ice cubes out of coffee. When you pour hot coffee over regular ice cubes, they water it down and dilute the taste as they melt. But with coffee cubes you get full flavour down to the last drop.

1. Brew 16 oz of coffee and let cool.
