How to Make Iced Coffee at Home with Keurig

Learn how to make iced coffee with Keurig K-cups and you will never need to spend another dime on iced coffee from a coffee shop. It’s fun, easy, and much less expensive to make iced coffee at home!

This post on how to make iced coffee has been compensated as part of a social shopper amplification for Collective Bias and its advertiser. Thank you for supporting the brands that help keep this website operational!

I’ve been called a dreamer MANY times over the past 50 years. I’ve had a wish list of big wants and desires most of my life, the earliest dating all the way back to the age of 6 when I dreamed of owning a Schwinn bicycle with a pink banana seat, white wicker basket, and handlebar streamers.

Dreams like that bike were always a bit bigger than my piggy bank would provide for, and it seems that advancing age hasn’t stopped me from dreaming of owning things that I can’t really afford to buy.

I’ve asked Santa for everything from a DSLR camera, to new lenses for that camera. I’ve wished for a professional stand mixer, a new set of kitchen knives, and even a new car… complete with the new car smell!

Some of those wishes came true, and others are still on my list, but this past week, a BIG old longtime wish came true, when I welcomed my very first Keurig coffee brewing machine into my kitchen. It’s FINALLY time for me to #BrewItUp K-cup style!

It’s possible that some of you are shaking your head, wondering why I’m so excited about a coffee maker. ย Perhaps a little pre-machine history will help.

Hubs and I are both coffee drinkers, but he prefers his java straight up, with no flavor or add-ins, while I’m a flavor lovin’ girl who likes a little creamer with her coffee.

Flavored coffee and flavorings IN the coffee are two different things, gang. I’m so smitten with the ability to brew any flavor of coffee I want at any given time that I’ve been known to make unnecessary trips to the bank.

While I’m waiting to speak with a banker about a personal loan that I’m not at all interested in actually taking on, I can spin the fun carousel of K-cup flavors and brew myself up some Starbucksยฎ blend or a mug full of Cinnabonยฎ Cinnamon Roll coffee. It’s horribly childish and selfish, but there’s just something about those little individual cups that I findย irresistible.

They make MY kind of coffee, just for ME. No sharing, no waiting for 12 cups to brew. ย It’s bliss!

Oh, and here’s proof that I’m not the only person in this family to go ga-ga over the ability to brew coffee over ice using K-cups. ย Brian was outside pulling weeds from the flower bed when I took our Keurig for its first brew.

I brewed a plastic tumbler full of fresh lemonade using lemonade k-cups, and he immediately plunged into his favorite lounge chair to relax with it!

Incidentally, I find it absolutely adorable and somewhat quirky that my man refuses to drink beverages from a straw, even when they’re placed into the cup for him!

So after I served Brian his lemonade, I went back to the house to brew myself a tumbler full of iced vanilla coffee. ย I was so giddy about it, you’d think I’d just won the lottery. ย In my opinion, being given my very own Keurig ranks right up there with winning a lottery, so there ya go!

I pulled my essential add-ins from the fridge and got to work preparing my cup-o-love.

Because I’ve never brewed flavored iced coffee at home, it felt sort of strange not using flavored creamer. And by strange, I mean life changing and awesome.

I was told that using the small (6 oz) or medium (8 oz) setting is best for the best brew over ice taste experience.

I placed some creamer into my plastic, heat-safe tumbler, filled it to the brim with ice, and pushed the pretty blue button. ย Then the magic happened. My very first Keurig experience, in the privacy of my own home.

Please don’t tell anyone, but I may have danced a little bit in the kitchen as I watched the vanilla iced coffee pour into my cup.

Happiness comes in many forms, shapes, and sizes. This week’s version was 18 inches tall and full of adorable k-cups and brew over ice magic.

I took my cup of vanilla iced coffee and headed outside to enjoy it in the sunshine with the man I love. ย There was just one small problem…

    I also make iced coffee in my Keurig. I use the adapter and fill it with French Caramel coffee (available from http://www.coffeeam.com). I use cream and sweetner so I put 1 Tablespoon of heavy cream and a Splenda in the bottom of a tall glass. Stir. Fill glass with ice. Brew 8 oz. If too much of the ice melts add more. If I want to go over the top I add a Tablesppon of caramel sauce to the cream mixture before brewing.

    I just love the color of this White Keurig! The other half likes his coffee dark too- I prefer iced teas and lemonade, so we love our Keurig with the Brew Over Ice varieties! #Client

      I’m not sure that there’s any WRONG way to enjoy these K-cups, Jenna! I think the idea is awesome that everyone’s drink can be personalized for them ๐Ÿ™‚

    Yet another reasons we were meant to be friends: straws are evil. They were created by aliens to suck out our brains! Just kidding…sorta. ๐Ÿ™‚

      Right?! Especially those evil PAPER straws! I mean seriously… have you ever tried to suck a thick milkshake out of one of those wimpy things? Pfft… straws are for wussies ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Oh yes MUST have coffee! I love the brew over iced coffees. The Nantucket Blend is enjoyable for me because it is without flavors and I can enjoy plain or with a little almond milk in it. I’m glad this wish came true! Now go wake him up. ๐Ÿ™‚

      I’m SO on an almond milk kick right now, Dionne, but oddly enough, I’ve never had it in my coffee. THAT’S about to change, thanks to you! ๐Ÿ™‚
