Well, it's in the 50's and sunny here in Chicawgo today and there is more
warmer weather on the way this next week...we are actually *warmer* today
than parts of northern Florida (they've had freezing weather the last few
nights).

So in "celebration" I'm drinking iced coffee, my preferred way to drink the
brew. It's been so cold for so long that it actually feels somewhat
"exotic" as I've not had it for months now.

A minor thing, but it has me smiling as it's a harbinger of *somewhat*
better weather...

If nothing else it's melting all those goldarn frozen UGLI snowbanks that
make getting around such a PITA...

Some of us, even in nippy New England, drink iced coffee all year-round.
It's always my second cup of the morning.

Ever jazzed it up with vanilla extract or caramel syrup?

How do you drink it? Cream? Sugar? I like mine strong with FF half and half
(thickens it a bit) natural vanilla and a little Splenda.

This thread reminded me of the Vietnamese style ice coffee I had at
Pho shops. I would get a tumbler of ice with some condensed milk in
it along with a small mug that had a metal strainer packed with coffee
grounds and a hot water reservoir on top. Several minutes of drip
drip drip later, you pour the cafe into the tumbler, stir and enjoy.
:-) Mmmmm...bye!

I was going to say I always drink iced coffee, but I guess with my
Keurig, I actually drink some coffee that is merely warm.

With 2% milk and a Splenda...

To the previous poster who asked if I put caramel, etc., in my coffee, the
answer is no, I don't care for flavors in my coffee. An exception is if I
make a coffee-flavored smoothie in the summer, then I'll put some caramel or
whatever in...
