Magic Coffee

For Y-E-A-R-S I have been a two can Dt. Dr. Pepper wake me up kinda girl.

 But I am finding that, now with age, it just ain’t cuttin’ it anymore.


I have tried and tried to make myself a coffee drinker. I love the smell of a coffee shop. I love how it smells when I make it for my hubby. I love coffee flavored ice cream and cakes…just can’t gag down a cup of Jo in the morning.




Then I found this delightful recipe and have loved every minute of it!

Magic Coffee

2/3 Cups coarsely ground coffee
3 Cups water
1 tsp. cinnamon
3 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1 tsp. vanilla {optional}

Put all the ingredients in a quart jar {I used a covered bowl}. Mix, cover and refrigerate overnight. Before serving, pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve and then pour into whatever container you’d like to store it in. For each drink, fill a tall glass halfway with ice. Pour in the coffee until ¾ full and add milk/half and half/cream to taste.

I can’t wait to toss this in the blender and make me a Mocha Frappuccino just like Starbucks!
