I always find myself looking forward to my morning cup of coffee. It’s actually one of my favorite times of day. It’s kind of ridiculous, but I start looking forward to my cup of coffee the night before. Am I the only one that does that?! Right when I put Sam down for his morning nap, I’ll make my coffee and plan out my day or do some writing or reading- it’s my little piece of day that’s just for me. It’s my own personal sweet bliss that I make sure to make time for. The days can be busy and mostly spent focused on the baby, which is why getting in my “me time” (no matter how short it may be) is important. It keeps me sane and happy and makes me better at being a mom. Can I get an amen?
The weather has been beautiful here lately, and I’ve actually switched to my beloved iced coffee on some days, which is always an exciting time. On a cold morning nothing tastes better than a hot cup of coffee, but iced coffee is where my heart truly belongs. Plus, iced coffee means warmer weather, so I’m all about that.
I like to keep my iced coffee simple, but I thought I’d share how I make it, in case anyone is curious! It’s so ridiculously easy!
Brew coffee in the Keurig machine (I don’t know what I would do without it!) and let it sit for a while to cool. Fill a glass with ice and pour coffee over the ice. Add some almond milk and a sprinkle of Born Sweet™ Zing™ Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener. Seriously just a sprinkle, as I don’t like my coffee too sweet, and a little goes a long way!
I’d love to try it in this great summertime tea my husband and I love! Brew about a half gallon of black tea, let steep overnight. Add in a quart of OJ and the juice of about 4 lemons. Pour over ice to serve and add a quick pour of Sprite! So yummy and refreshing! :)
Amen sista!!!!! Love that coffee “me” time. I recently tried Zing as I had been using Purvia but Zing as a lighter taste, which I love. I like to put it in my afternoon iced green tea too. I have an “A” cup similar but you “K” is cute ;)
Enjoy my sweets!

I LOOOOVE iced coffee and would love to try the sweetener in it! People keep recommending the Pioneer Woman’s iced coffee recipe and I think I’m going to try making that soon so I can have iced coffee whenever I want it :)
I talked about that recipe on my blog yesterday and how I make it for myself! (; check it out:

I would love to try this coffee that you make! I have NEVER had coffee over ice.
I would mix it with iced tea

Love this! I too posted about coffee today (Confessions of a Coffee Addict). It’s kind of an obsession of mine.

I absolutely need coffee in the mornings or else i spend my entire day in zombie mode and with a 7 month old my warm freshly brewed coffee quickly turns into an iced coffee beverage so I don’t have to keep warming it up. I would love to try zing in your iced coffee recipe above.
I’m a hardcore introvert, so I cherish my “me time.”
I’m not a fan of sweet hot coffee (just a splash of milk for me), but I do like iced coffee with a hint of sweetness, do I’d try it in that.
I never considered the vanilla almond milk alternative but I’ll definitely try that! I’m trying to avoid dairy since I’m still breastfeeding and it’s so hard to forgo at times!
I’d like to try it in iced tea.

I would use it in a green tea.

I would first mix Zing Zero Calorie Stevia Sweetener to my morning apple spice tea. It would also go very well in my hot chocolate for a sweeter, lower calorie option.

I love just a tad bit of sweetener in my iced tea. Regular, black iced tea. I would love to try the Zing sweetener in there!
I would use it in my coffee. :-)
I would add it to a smoothie! Yum! :)
Iced tea!
I would like to try it in iced green tea.
