We’re almost entering summer, aka the official season of iced coffee. While some of us may choose to sip a cold beverage year round, for most of us the warmer, sunnier days spell the start of lazy days in the park, accompanied by a deliciously sweet and cold coffee. You can buy amazing iced coffee out, and sometimes this is more practical—however, it’s a habit that can get expensive. Why not try this recipe, which makes an incredibly iced coffee, and take it with you in a thermos or insulated bottle?
