DIY-ICED COFFEE...

FINALLY...recipe after recipe...I found one that is very good

I was cleaning my desk off and I came across this recipe that I must of written down quite some time ago....Because the last time I cleaned off my desk was ummmm...so long I can't remember.

I really wish I could credit this recipe, but all I wrote down were the ingrediants... sorry!

I love this recipe, it's honestly a little too sweet for me, and that's very odd for me to say that, because living in the south my southern sweet tea is so sweet your hair stands up!  hehehe

I used my Keurig and brewed the largest coffee mug of coffee set aside until cold

I used Dunkin Donut Dark Roast

Then in my Ninja or you could use a blender

BLEND:

1 1/2 C --Cold coffee

1/2 C--Milk

1/2 Sugar

2 TBSP Caramel-I used ice cream caramel topping

1 tsp. Chocolate syrup-I used hershey

BLEND.....BLEND.....BLEND......

Then add

Pinch of vanilla-ummm I poured about 1/4 tsp...

then add your ice..

BLEND AGAIN......

THEN

ENJOY....

*I added more milk and ice to cut down on the sweetness!
