We have had quite a bit of fun trying to make our own barista style coffee drinks at home and this Iced Vanilla Latte has become a favorite for anytime of the year.

I did buy Starbucks Iced Coffee this time but usually make a batch of iced coffee to have on hand with the easy recipe below.

With only four ingredients and all real food items – it’s almost a healthy drink – or maybe a healthy treat.

Here’s the simple recipe and you can change your sweetener to sugar, stevia or honey too.

Iced Vanilla Latte

3/4 cup iced coffee*
1/4 cup half and half creamer (heavy whipping cream is yummy too)
1/2 t vanilla
1 T maple syrup

Pour over a glass filled with ice and enjoy!

*I have also cheated when I don’t have iced coffee on hand but use a Starbucks instant coffee packet (or any instant coffee brand) dissolved in a bit of hot water and then fill the rest up with cold water.  It works well in a pinch.  

Easy Iced Coffee Recipe

This is the cold brew method and you can double it but it makes two cups of iced coffee.

1/4 cup ground coffee
1 cup cold water

Place in a container and let it sit overnight on the counter

In the morning add one more cup of cold water and I use our french press to strain out the grounds.  Store the cold brewed coffee in the fridge for up to two weeks.

I did recently purchase the Toddy Cold Brew Coffee System and love it.  It makes a larger quantity and comes with a handy container to store it in the fridge.

    You had me at Vanilla Latte! I make a similar kind, though I haven’t made it in awhile (this inspired me to do it again)! I save leftover coffee in the fridge when I do not want to pour it out. I then add either milk, half n’ half and sugar. I have maple syrup, but have not tried that yet! Great idea. I often will add flavored creamer, but the REAL kind made out of cream, milk, vanilla, sugar, not the oily stuff. I think the brand I buy is called Simply something. . . I need to buy it again! 🙂

    I’m pretty new to coffee in other forms than traditional so when you say iced coffee do you mean coffee you’ve allowed to cool? *blush*

      Theresa – it is a cold brew coffee which means you don’t use heated water to brew it. There are many benefits but the overall big one is it tastes better than brewing coffee and letting it cool. Supposedly there is less acid and less caffeine – I just do it this way because of the taste. It also is hard to brew hot coffee and just pour it over ice because then it just gets all diluted. You can definitely brew coffee normal and refrigerate it and see what you think. It still is a huge savings over buying it at a coffee shop :). Hoping that helps.

What do you think of when you hear the word discer What do you think of when you hear the word discernment? The dictionary defines it as making a distinction between good and evil and truth and falsehood. As believers, we all desire to be discerning and wise in our choices. As we mature and grow in our knowledge of the scriptures, the hope is we will use that information to make choices in line with God's will.⁣
⁣
We become discerning people by not just knowing what to think but how to think. Being spiritually discerning is an ability to see the world the way God does. This comes about as we grow and mature spiritually into the likeness of Christ. It is about seeing “All That's Good.”⁣

“Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench i “Waiting exposes our idols and throws a wrench into our coping mechanisms. It brings us to the end of what we can control and forces us to cry out to God. God doesn’t waste our waiting. He uses it to conform us to the image of his Son.”⁣

As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding mysel As I’m sharing this episode, I’m finding myself in a waiting room on the Lord, and it’s been a long one, and I don’t see an end near.  It has reminded me that when I gave myself to Him, I gave up my “right” to be in charge. The reality is we never were in charge anyway; we just came to that understanding when the Lord opened our eyes to His sovereign control over our lives.⁣
⁣
Even though it is a truth I know or we know, how many times do we want to think that somehow we can effect change in our life situations?⁣
⁣
Waiting is hard because there is no guarantee that my waiting will end in this lifetime. One thing I have learned – my waiting has deepened my trust in the Lord and has helped me to develop patience, perseverance, and endurance.⁣
⁣
It’s also given me different eyes to see with compassion others who are in a season of waiting.⁣

Six questions I have written in my Bible that have Six questions I have written in my Bible that have been a help to me over the years may be a help to you, too, to be prayerful and slow to speak. These are helpful questions not just in our friendships but in our marriages and with our children, and truly any of our relationships:⁣
⁣
1. Is this the time to say this?⁣
2. Am I the person to say this?⁣
3. Is it necessary?⁣
4. Is it true?⁣
5. Is it kind?⁣
6. Do I need to say this?⁣

We all know that fostering true biblical friendshi We all know that fostering true biblical friendship isn’t easy – it takes work. Jesus told us in John 16:33 that we’re going to have trouble in this world, and trouble does touch all our lives in various areas, but this includes our friendships too.⁣
⁣
We’ll be hurt; we’ll be the ones hurting others; selfishness is a battle; jealousy and envy raise their ugly heads; we have our fears and insecurities, failed expectations, the damage our tongues do to one another, not appropriating the gospel and these all come from hearts that are still battling sin. ⁣
⁣
So when these threats to our friendship with one another in Christ come up, it shouldn’t surprise us that we have these issues, but what we need to keep at the forefront of our minds is how we respond and deal with them when they do come up. ⁣
⁣
I want to walk us through some of these threats, and this list I’m working with isn’t exhaustive – there are many more threats than what I am addressing today – but these are areas that stood out to me that have been a battle within some of my friendships over the years. Sadly, it is often the sin I’m battling in my heart, and I need to get my thinking, attitudes, and actions lined up with God’s Word.⁣
