Today and yesterday have been hot ones here in St Louis, up into the 90’s – phew!

So I decided to make some iced coffee and add in some flavour.

I bought some cinnamon nibs from Penzey’s Spices in Maplewood and I mixed them into the ground coffee before brewing.  I didn’t grind up the nibs, just left them whole.

To make the orange coffee, I added fresh zest to the ground coffee.  I brewed both coffees and left them to cool.

To ensure coffee all the way to the bottom of the glass rather than watery ice cubes, I make coffee ice cubes.

Add milk and sugar if you like.  I do.  If you like black coffee, I would pour over a splash of fresh coffee to get the ice cubes melted a little bit, so you at least have something to drink!

Do you like iced coffee?  Iced tea?  Do you add any extras?
