Wow! It's been a while since my last post. Sorry about that....I guess you could say I was on a bit of a vacation, but now I'm back!
I discovered a great product that will save me money and make my mornings run a bit smoother....It's Starbucks Via Iced Coffee. Yes it's instant coffee, but it is delicious. I picked it up at my local Starbucks because I wanted to take it along to Herman, MN while staying with my parent. My mother makes very weak coffee, plus it was supposed to be a hot weekend. I thought it would be pretty slick to pack these little packets and whip up my own iced coffees using tap water (or bottled water on the road). I was pleasently surprised by the authentic taste of the beverage I whipped up. It tasted just as awesome as real iced coffee from coffee shops.
Now, a pack of 5 costs $4.99. I found that 1 pack was too strong for the 16 oz glass I typically use (1/2 full of ice), I actually get 10 drinks from one package. A grande iced coffee at Starbucks is $2.50...so I'm saving $2 per drink. Plus, I can make one whenever I feel like.
This week I have grabbed one packet, throw it in my purse and head out the door. When I get to work I fill up one 16 oz cup with ice, add water from the water fountain and add half the powder from the packet....stir it up and enjoy all morning....yum!
FYI - If you like iced lattes, you can add the powder to milk.
