Make your own low-carb iced coffee


It looks like Ovaltine but is so incredibly
energizing it might stunt your growth

In an ongoing series devoted to keeping money in wallets during the impending recession while still enabling eyeballs to bulge from caffeinated sockets all over the world, following is a standard low-carb iced coffee recipe.

Quick tip: Using ice cubes made from brewed coffee helps keep coffee from becoming watered down in the actual beverage.

Low-carb iced coffee

1 Tbsp heavy cream
8 ounces cold coffee
1 cup ice cubes
1 packet sweetener (or davincis syrup)

Prepare coffee in advance and chill for 3-4 hours.

In a glass, combine chilled coffee, cream, sweetener and ice cubes. Cover glass and shake until frothy.

Tip: If adding granular sweetener, add to the coffee to dissolve while the coffee is still hot and prior to refrigerating. If adding Davincis or other low-carb syrup, add when the beverage is cold.

Makes 1 - 16 ounce iced coffee
