Have you ever thrown out that old, murky, dark-as-mud, coffee leftover in the bottom of the pot? Not anymore! Here's a fantastic recipe that is near and dear to my heart. First, because it's super cheap. Second, because it's delicious. Delicious? Cheap? You've already won me over!

Now, remember, you don't have to use caffeinated coffee. Actually, I prefer organic decaf. I order the beans wholesale online (and they're delicious!). Here's what you do:

1. Get an ice cube tray (check out the dollar store if you don’t have any).

2. Pour that old coffee into the tray and freeze it overnight.

3. Put these ingredients in a blender and give it a whirl:

        4 frozen coffee cubes
1 cup milk 
1 Tbsp natural sugar (or a pinch of stevia)
dash of cinnamon 
¼ tsp vanilla

There you go! That's all there is to it! Enjoy...

Great! Thanks, Hannah! I can't wait to try this! I have been saving old coffee in a jar and then making iced coffee in the morning - but this sounds even better on these hot, Texas days!

If you add a teaspoon of baking cocoa you can make a mocha. It does need to have a little sweetener in it. Then if you feel decadent, add a little swirl of whip cream!

I have tried to make my own by adding ice to cold coffee and it always tasted so watered down. Freeze the coffee into ice cubes... genius!!
