Hi everyone!
Today’s tip is to freeze that last little bit of coffee that always seems to be left in the coffee pot after morning coffee. I have been doing this for years. I wrote a post a long time ago about doing this.
I always have an ice tray filled with frozen coffee cubes. Once they are frozen you can pop them out and put in a ziplock bag marked “coffee” and they are already to be used.
And what do you use them for?
- Add a cube of two to any brown gravy you re making. It really enhances the gravy!
- Same with dark sauces.
- Add to chocolate cake mix when baking a cake. Coffee makes the chocolate flavor richer.
- When cooking a roast, drop a couple of cubes into the pan and let it mix with the meat juices during cooking.
- Add to chocolate pudding
- Add to hot cocoa for a mocha cocoa.
- And of course, a slew of frozen drinks.
I just froze some in a small container for one of my FAVORITE frozen drinks. I will share this recipe soon!
What terrific ideas. Looking forward to your frozen coffee drink. ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou are so smart, Diann! I am going to start doing this from now on, especially with coffee prices going up, why throw it down the drain! xo,
ReplyDeleteGreat idea except Mr. ALC drains that pot eveyday! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tips! Hope the recipe is for iced coffee! I have to have one everytime I visit McDonald's.
