Front porches and cold drinks - two things that make the Texas heat more bearable, in my opinion. When I say “cold drink” I'm not referring to the South’s poster child, iced tea. I'm actually referring to iced coffee. Iced Pecan Coffee to be exact. I personally like my coffee hot, but my sister, Leslie, has been telling me for years to give this beloved drink a chance. Since we are approaching summertime I decided to take her advice. By the way, I am so glad I did. This drink is amazing! And the recipe that I am about to share with you will “knock your socks off”, as we say in the south. AND… with your socks off, you can mosey on outside with this drink in hand and enjoy it on your front porch!
- Pour ground pecan coffee in a large container/bowl.
- Pour water in and mix.
- Cover and let sit for 8 hours in the refrigerator.
- After 8 hours remove the coffee mixture from the refrigerator.
- Using a fine strainer lined with a paper towel (or cheese cloth), slowly pour coffee mixture into a separate container/bowl.
- Make sure all the liquid has passed through the strainer.
- Take your glass of ice and fill it halfway with refrigerated coffee.
- Add the sugar and syrup and mix.
- Fill the rest of the way with Half & Half.
- Add a straw and enjoy!!
