On a hot summer day, or even at night when you are sitting outside enjoying the nice, beautiful summer weather, why not enjoy a refreshing Homemade Iced Coffee? I love brewing coffee with my Keurig coffee maker because each cup is freshly made and is fully brewed in seconds!
You can serve it in a fun way with a fancy pitcher, a tray, some fun straws and I always like to add a bit of flare with fancy, shaped coffee ice cubes.
Are you like me? I LOVE my coffee, but on the hot days of summer, I often crave that afternoon coffee but find myself over-heating? I have the solution for you! Have you ever considered trying to make yourself an iced coffee? They have all of the coffee goodness in a cool and refreshing way and they are super easy to make, especially when you brew them by the cup using a Keurig maker and Keurig K-cups.
First off, brew some coffee with the amazing convenience of a Keurig coffee maker. My husband gave me mine for Valentine’s Day a few years ago and I have to say it is one of the best Valentine’s Day gifts ever! While it has nothing to do with romance, it has to do with me, as I love my coffee and it was the most thoughtful gift ever.
- 1 K-cup
- a few ice cubes
- cream or sugar to taste
- Brew a cup of coffee using your Keurig machine.
- Reserve 1/2 of the coffee to make ice cubes.
- Place remaining coffee in your refrigerator for 30 minutes or more.
- Once coffee has cooled and ice has been made, mix the two together and add any cream or sugar necessary to bring it to your desired taste.
Tip: If you like flavour to your iced drinks, consider brewing a flavoured K-cup. I wouldn’t have it any other way!
Aren’t you tempted to make some Homemade Iced Coffee now?

Just wanted to say that I love your pics on this post! The one that says Homemade Iced Coffee on it really caught my eye! 🙂
Awwww….thank you so much for your kind words – I have been really working hard at my food photography and you just completely made my day 🙂 Don’t you wish you could join me for an iced coffee right about now?
darling, you have no idea!!!!
Oh how I wish we lived closer!
I make coffee ice cubes all the time with leftover coffee! Your pictures on this post are fabulous!!
Sounds delicious. I don’t have a Keurig but hopefully will get one for Christmas as I’ve asked for one.
I just bought a Keurig for my younger brother to take back to university….I’ll have to pass this on, he loves iced coffee!
What a thoughtful gift, Laurie! There are lots of fun drinks your brother can make 😉
How smart to make the coffee ice cubes! And use flavoured coffee! I don’t really like the flavoured ones for hot coffee but now I’ll have to order some…love this idea 🙂
Thank you so much for your kind words, Andrea! When you use the coffee ice cubes, they don’t dilute the drink! I need my coffee as strong as I can get it!
I love making my own ice coffee too and I fill 1 or 2 small mason jars for through out the day!
Mason jars are such a creative and fun way to drink from, aren’t they?
They are! I also found mason jar lids with a hole and it comes with a straw! It makes it even more convenient. =)
I have a machine and needed a recipe going to try it like and Ice Capp, thanks!
Share a photo with me when you enjoy one 🙂 I love to see others enjoying their coffee!
Hubby would love this, he is the coffee drinker in this house
You should make him one as a special treat! #browniepoints 🙂
I love iced coffee, and I love your blue flowered picture.
Thank you so much! My best friend from high school gave me that pitcher when I moved into my first apartment – I have an obsession with blue and blue glass – thought this would make this iced coffee an extra special treat!
I have never made iced coffee but would love too!
I love iced coffee and the flavor combinations are endless! Yum!!
I really liked your fancy, shaped coffee ice cubes, they are so cute!
Awww…thank you so much Amy!
Never been a fan of ice coffee, but my teenager is, thank you for sharing girl!
You’re welcome 🙂 Hope she enjoys making them at home!
Me too I’m tired of paying Tims to make her one lol!
I have not tried iced coffee, why I don’t know but I think I need to change that. Going to try one out this afternoon!
Let me know how you like it! Feel free to post a photo of you enjoying your coffee on my Facebook Page!
It’s so cost effective to make your own, when the ones we get out are usually mostly ice!
I love iced coffee and do make it at home.
My daughter and husband would love this
We drink a lot of iced coffee. It’s so cool and refreshing.
we use our Keurig at work to make iced coffee in the afternoon – love it!
The Keurig is so handy – iced coffee is so perfect for the hot afternoons
You can make your own and save a few dollars in the process
I wish I had a Keurig, my hubby has a Tassimo and I don’t care for it to much, and you can get more flavours with Keurig too
I love to drink iced coffee all year around!
This is something I will try on a hot day as the simple recipe sounds, and I am sure, tastes delicious as well. Thank you for this recipe.
