It’s time for THIRSTY THURSDAY!!!

The past few weeks have been so busy, not only because of house craziness, but the kids are so active in soccer, baseball, swimming, and then add in a few playdates, and we are exhausted. The kids have been taking afternoon naps, and while admittedly sometimes I join them, other times I have to fold laundry or do a project. So, that is when I whip up an afternoon pick me up.

 

In the summer months it is hard to wrap my head around drinking a cup of hot green tea. While that is my normal pick me up, lately, it is just too hot. I found these little packets by Starbucks that are made for cold brewing, but you could of course chill some hot coffee too.

 

This recipe is simple is much less expensive and has fewer calories than pulling through a drive through. Also, you can put this in your favorite travel cup, which is much more kind to the environment.

 

Carmel Iced Coffee
1 packet of Starbucks via iced plain iced coffee (prepared with water)
OR 16 oz brewed coffee cooled
1 Tbs Carmel Syrup
1/2 cup of milk (Skim or 2% to keep the calories low)
Lots of ice

 

First, pour coffee into cup and mix with carmel syrup. Add ice. Finally, over ice pour milk and gently stir.

 

I will then take this tasty drink outside in this gorgeous weather and get home work done. Sometimes I weed the garden, make my phone calls, or do paperwork. Between the fresh air and a little zip of caffeine, I am as refreshed as the kids when they wake up from naps.
