Home Made Iced Coffee

OK with my cut downs in my life with me working on my credit and working on buying a house I've made a whole lot of changes.. One of my changes I made is to cut my coffee purchases outside.. DD and SB are very expensive and I have to be smart and savy shopper. So my husband brought me new coffee maker that I'm learning to use... I've been learning how to make the perfect iced coffee! Haven't come out perfect but I'm very close.. Guess I'll see tomorrow.. =)

Step 1: Brew your pot of ,coffee as normal but if you want iced coffee I would say put a tablespoon and a half to two tablespoons per ever cup of coffee, dark roaster ground coffee helps with the taste. Just to have that strong coffee taste, because the ice will water it down. Also add sugar, sugar subsitute or sweet milk to taste because as you know sugar don't melt in cool or cold coffee or anything cold.

Step 2: Storage.. I use the Chinese restaurant large soup bowl and let it sit in the refrigerator to cool off, mainly the night before.. or left over coffee works well too.

Step 3: Fill a glass with ice and pour the cold or chilled coffee into your cup or glass.

Step 4: Add your milk.. I prefer 2% milk or fat free milk you can also find flavored syrups,  vanilla, mocha or chocolate to give it a little flavor or kick..

*****NEVER PUT A HOT COFFEE POT IN THE REFRIGERATOR BECAUSE IT CAN BREAK THE GLASS*****

SO there you have it.. Now let's start making the perect iced coffee...  =)

Just want to vent...

Friday was my god daughters 2nd birthday party and I danced the night away.. Now as you women/men know that having Lupus, etc.. Or muiltiply Connection tissue disoreders like I do... My body was hurting to bad and that I had to totally rest the next day. Knees was hurting when I walked, My back was in pain, pain, pain and my feet was red and swollen..I took all my medication just to help me relax and claim down..

Now the part that bothered me the most was that when I went to sit down someone came over to me and asked why I WASN'T DANCING ANYMORE! I told them my back, feet and knees were hurting.. they called me old???? Huh!! I'm I old?? I take very care of myself and I look way way better then most of these girls/women.. I told her I have Lupus and she said that don't mean anything because she has a friend that has lupus and she party every friday and never take her medication. (Not a smart thing to do) I know I'm not going to stop taking my medicaition...

Yes I'm still learning to keep my mouth shut about my muiltiply illnesses because people wont understand that I'm sick on the insideand not the outsid!!!
