Spring is in full swing, which means it’s the time of year for iced coffee, and I’ve got a secret for the strongest iced coffee around: Coffee Ice Cubes!
I love iced coffee. Creamy, smooth, robust, a hint of sweet, and a healthy dose of caffeine. But what a bummer when you get to the end of your glass and all you’ve got left is gross pale brown water.
Solution? Coffee ice cubes!
Pour your regular old leftover brewed coffee into ice cube trays and freeze, then replace the ice in your iced coffee with coffee cubes.
I’m a big fan of silicone ice cube trays like these for my coffee ice cubes. The cubes are easy to pop out, and I love the perfect square shapes.
Try it and I promise you’ll never go back to plain old water ice cubes. Pshaw.

how can one use the cold brewed coffee for ice coffee cubes. how much quantity to use…concentrate diluted or not?
How long can you keep the ice cubes in the freezer?
It can depend on a lot of variables, but I’d stick with about a month. They’d still be fine to consume but might get a little frosty.
