Treating Myself in Minutes Without Breaking the Bank #sponsored #Folgers

This is a sponsored post written by me on behalf of Folgers. All opinions are 100% mine.

I have always been a night owl and actually I am a lot more productive at night than I am in the morning. Don’t get me wrong I can get up early and function if I need to, but I am sometimes just going through the motions. Some people swear by coffee in the morning but I have never been a fan of hot drinks. Iced drinks though is another thing. It’s pretty fitting too because even if I did like hot coffee, by the time I got around to actually drinking it, it would be cold anyways.

From the time I wake up in the morning to the time I get two of my kids on the bus, I am like a crazy person bouncing through the house to get everything done. Once they are on the bus, I still have my 4 year old at home with me that only goes to school for 2.5 hours. So really I don’t get a lot of me-time, which is another reason I stay up late (after the kids go to bed.)

So how do I treat myself without breaking the bank and in just minutes? I whip up some Iced Coffee using Instant coffee Crystals! Why Instant Coffee Crystals? Well then I don’t have to wait for a whole pot to brew if I’m in a hurry and if I just want one cup. I used to brew a whole pot and then I either drank the whole pot (which I didn’t need to do) or I wasted most of it.

Iced Coffee using Instant Coffee Crystals

Ingredients:

  • 3 tablespoons of Folgers instant coffee
  • 1 cup boiling hot water
  • 1 glass of ice
  • Sugar to taste (I used 1/4 cup)
  • Milk to taste (I used about a cup)

Directions: 

  • Mix in Folgers Instant Coffee Crystals with boiling hot water.
  • Add in sugar and milk.
  • Pour over a glass of ice.

Notes:

You could also top with whip cream, but I didn’t have any.

Like flavors? Stir in some coffee syrup flavoring.

  • Very much like Thai Iced Coffee — only differences are, that they use strong brewed coffee &
    Condensed milk for sugar & lightening. I love iced coffee cafe Au lait style but without sugar. A dairy allergy means using nondairy alternative milks. One suggestion, have you tried making coffee ice cubes? They keep your coffee cold & undilulted.

  • Oh YUM! I need to try this for the warmer months. Your drink looks refreshing and I want to make it. Thanks for sharing an awesome recipe.

  • This is great. Sometimes especially in the afternoon, I want just one cup to treat myself.

  • thank you for sharing this awesome recipe i will for sure be adding this to my favorites :)

  • Nice post! I can only drink my coffee iced. It tastes the best. I didn't know Folgers had recipes! Thank you for sharing :)
