Only 25 calories? In a quart-size Mason jar? Seriously? The hot, muggy days in Texas call for something refreshing instead of hot coffee.

I drink a tall glass of this iced coffee every day in the summertime after lunch. It cools me off without weighing me down. In the winter, I make the same drink without ice, heated in a mug.

About the Coffee Concentrate

You’ll need strong coffee to make this work. I keep a batch of cold brew in the fridge, made from Pioneer Woman’s Perfect Iced Coffee method. It stays fresh for 2–3 weeks, so you can prep a big batch and use it whenever the craving hits.

Or use your favorite cold brew brand from the store—just be sure it’s unsweetened.

Unsweetened cashew milk keeps this drink low in calories—only 25 per cup. I prefer it over almond milk for its creamier texture and milder flavor. You can use another type of milk if you’d like, but the calorie count will increase.

(I use decaf in the afternoon, but regular works too—adjust to your taste.)

Hey, Paula! Love your new look, and I love your hair! You are looking sharp. I also make and drink coffee concentrate. I started about a year ago, and I have never looked back. It’s so much easier on my stomach, and it’s great to have it made up so I don’t have to think so much in the morning. LOL Thanks for this recipe. I will have to source some cashew milk. I’m all about trying to fill up with few calories; fighting old age spread is at least a part-time job.

Thank you for the kind words, Becky. I hadn’t noticed the coffee concentrate being easier on my tummy but I’ll take notice from now on. Cashew milk is readily available in my area. Hope you can find it. Have a good weekend.
