The Friday Find

Yahoo!  It's officially iced coffee season, something I dream about all winter.  Although I would love to have the luxury of indulging in a delicious iced coffee at Coffee by Design every morning before work, the extra $2.50 per day (or more in DC! Portland is cheap) can really add up.  Last summer I discovered that homemade iced coffee can be just as delicious as what's available at the local coffee shop.  Here are some tips:

1. Make a strong batch of coffee in the evening and let it sit in the fridge overnight.  This way, it is nice and cold for your commute to work. 

2. Keep some coffee ice cubes in the freezer so your iced coffee won't dilute as the ice melts.  This ice cube tray would be a cute addition, too!

3.  Put coffee and cubes in this cup (featured on last week's Friday Find) to get the full coffee shop effect.  Add some half and half and get your caffeine fix!
