When my sister introduced me to iced coffee, I didn't think I'd like it. Not only did I like it, I decided I could learn how to make iced coffee on my own. My fast-to-fix version is a refreshing alternative to hot java. —Jenny Reece, Lowry, Minnesota

I just made this tonight for the first time, and it is so good. I will no longer buy it in the mornings before work. I can just whip this up at night so it can be nice and cold for the morning.

This is so much better than store bought. I had no chocolate syrup on hand so I used Nestle Quick. It turned out great. Love this recipe.

I think I drink this every day since I tried the recipe! I will have to try the coffee ice cubes to make it even better.

I also used "coffee" ice cubes but with decaf so I could enjoy it after dinner. Delicious!!

And to make this "over the top GOOD" try adding a scoop of Hagen-daz Vanilla Bean of Coffee ice cream. WOW !!

Why not use COFFEE CUBES instead of ice cubes?? It will make your drink more coffee-e! and when they start to melt you just have more coffee not a watered down drink. I have one ice cube tray that is dedicated just for leftover coffee. I do the same for ice tea and lemonade (ah ~ it's endless)!
