The Best Iced Coffee Recipes and Patriotic Straw Flags (free printables)

Everyone who knows little ol’ me outside of this blog knows I have a very intense love in my life: Coffee.

I’ve blogged about it.  Created a Pinterest board about it.  Even made a Slow Cooker Asian Pork Roast with it.

Lately, as the temps have been crawling higher and higher, getting me closer and closer into that misery known as “Summer in Texas,” I’ve been eyeballing Iced Coffee Recipes.

Fact: I hate being hot.  No, seriously — it puts me in the most unimaginably bad mood EVER.

(I have to go around apologizing a LOT in July and August)

For the sake of being proactive and keeping my family protected from the wrath of Hot Rachel, it is time to break out Iced Coffee instead of my normal mug o’ steaming joe.

(And my entire family now breathes a collective sigh of relief)

As I started compiling the Iced Coffee Recipes for this post (and my own personal use), I discovered that quite a few of the recipes I found online use International Delight Iced Coffee or Creamers as a recipe base.  Talk about making things easy! If you haven’t tried the International Delight Iced Coffees, they are REALLY good (dangerously good) and can be found in the refrigerated juice/dairy section of your grocery store.

I may or may not have inhaled an entire carton last summer whilst the kidlets had their little lemonade stand.

True. Story.

Patriotic Straw Flag Printables

Decorating this past weekend for Memorial Day has put me in a Red, White and Blue mood! So, for all of your Iced Coffee Escapades leading up to our biggest patriotic holiday — the 4th of July — I have a few little, cute straw flags.  They are perfect whether you’re going to be throwing a Independence Day Party or just wanna dress up your own glass.

I like feelin’ fancy whilst enjoying a moment of peace during the chaos of summer.
