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!

  2. Ha! That's so funny Kate! Honest truth...I'm sitting here at my desk, groggily drinking my morning Diet Dr. Pepper while looking at my favorite blogs, and I see this post! :) Think I'll make a quick run to the store to get the ingredients to try your drink 'cause you're right. The Diet D.P. just doesn't do the job the way it used to anymore!

  7. I'm a coffee girl, but this sweet treat sounds perfect for those hot summer mornings when I can't bring myself to drink a hot cup of coffee then head out into the sticky Okinawan heat. Thanks for sharing!

  10. That sounds like a fantastic idea! I am not a huge coffee drinker either. I thought I was the only one out there! ;)

  11. I used to always drink hot coffee but for about 6 months now I only drink it iced. I make a big pot of coffee and then put it in a container and keep it in the fridge and then add a little half and half and splenda and ice--yummy! If you keep the coffee in the fridge it will keep for several days. I am going to try this recipe for sure!
