Vanilla Bean Iced Coffee

I enjoy those special coffee treat from the expensive coffee shop as much as the next person but I only make it to those coffee shops about twice a year. Being a total coffee fanatic, I’ve learned to make them at home.

How to Make Vanilla Bean Iced Coffee

You have to start with good coffee and it’s best if you can grind your own beans. Next up you need good water. Then I recommend a French press.  You can do a cold brew, but I find this method works for my spur of the moment, I need this right now cravings.

French Press Coffee for Vanilla Bean Iced Coffee ~ MissintheKitchen.com

Add coarse ground coffee to a French press. Heat water just to the boiling point and let it cool to 200 degrees. Pour over the coffee and let it set for about 30 seconds. Give it a quick stir and add the plunger, stopping just above the coffee and water. Let it set 5 minutes and then very slowly, lower to plunger.

If you want a latte, heat your milk but don’t boil it.  Mix half coffee and half milk for each cup.  Add your favorite flavorings and enjoy.

Vanilla Bean Latte Recipe from Miss in the Kitchen

I added vanilla bean paste and a couple packets of Equal. It was the perfectly balanced latte.  Equal is a zero calorie sweetener and that goes a long way with enjoying my favorite coffee treats in moderation.  Y’all know I need all the help I can get with indulging in my favorite treats.

The weather is already warming up here in Oklahoma but I still have coffee cravings.  For this vanilla bean iced coffee, I just skipped heating the milk and poured the combination over ice.  It was the perfect afternoon pick me up.

I pick Emmet up from school every afternoon. He’s almost always starving when I pick him up and so I pack a snack and something to drink for him to enjoy on the way home.  This Vanilla Bean Iced Coffee will be on permanent rotation for me and is perfect for that afternoon break when I head in to the school.

However you enjoy your coffee or tea, try adding in a packet of Equal!  Equal® 0-calorie sweetener is sold in 50-, 115-, 230- and 800-ct boxes for your convenience! You will not miss those extra calories, I know I do not!

One packet of Equal Original is the same as about 2 teaspoons of sugar.  For more information check out the Equal Orignal FAQs and follow along on Facebook for product updates and coupons!

    A perfect pick me up for Wednesday blues in the office.
    And now I’m definitely on the hunt for vanilla bean paste to go along with the equal.

    I haven’t tried this yet, but I do love my sweet tea, although this iced coffee would be perfect for the summer. Yum!
