You can't buy happiness but you can buy coffee

I also want to introduce you to a coffee blog that I happened upon last week.  It is

The Coffee Kitty

It is a beautiful site and filled with wonderful articles, reviews and recipes all pertaining to coffee.

This is from their site:

The Coffee Kitty is an online café.

“A place to share recipes, products, and helpful tips about brewing coffee. There’s no elitism, no requirements, and no judgement. No everyone enjoys coffee the same way, someone’s Chemex might be another’s Nespresso. Enjoy our online cafe offers free helpful advice and outstanding recipes to turn your everyday coffee into something special and unique. We’ll introduce you to exciting new products available, and show you helpful tricks to save you time and money.”

Grab a cup of coffee and take a look.

Coffee Monday

I posted a blog a couple of weeks ago about Iced coffee.  I tried one of the recipes and now I am hooked.  I also took the idea of freezing coffee into cubes to add to my iced coffee to keep it from getting watery.  I use half & half in my coffee, no sweetener, and I found that I wanted to add a little more to the coffee as the ice melted.

I have found a way to enjoy my coffee as the temperatures reach for the 90’s F.

School is out, it has finally stopped raining and the temperatures are rising.  Which of course leads me to thinking about changing to iced coffee for my morning pick me up.

I found this recipe on Pinterest.  It sounds easy and I like the presentation.
