Coffee cubes and other beverage garnishes.

Coffee cubes:  Pour coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze.  This is a great use for coffee that you don't use in the morning.  The cubes are good for iced coffee drinks, milk, or just cooling down a cup of coffee without watering it down.  A little coffee is also good for your iced tea.  Try it in your cola drinks, if you're adventurous. 

Lime and lemon aren't anything new, but add them to your juices or sodas.  Heck, I don't know, try squeezing a lime wedge into your vanilla ice cream.  Let us know if it's any good.

With a little help from the little woman.   smiley  The cubes were her idea.  And a good one, too.

Until the day you open up the freezer looking for something to eat, and you are confronted with 500 coffee cubes.

Cold brew your own liquid "instant coffee"  Wink

Keep the concentrate in your fridge, pour into cup about 1/4 full, and add boiling hot water.

Never any leftovers that way, and it tastes much better than regular brewed coffee.
Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin
