Spiced Ice Coffee
Brew strong coffee Directly on spices
3 sick cinnamon
5 whole cloves
Allow to sit in fridge with spices in coffee to ruminate.
Once cold it should have a slight spice flavor.
Or double the spices if you like it spicy!
(I used creamer and whip topped with cinnamon.)
In honor of this lovely crisp weather we’ve had. Thank you Jesus! I made some spiced ice coffee because I was feeling all fall inspired!
I am a boots and sweaters type of girl and what better to go with it than some cinnamon coffee!
Plus the recipe came out of a 1940’ds cookbook, can’t go wrong with that!
I began seeing a huge difference in my life when I started practicing Gratitude.
I’v read it in a ton of books that gratitude equals joy. It’s the cornerstone of joy.
It’s the first task I was given when I began seeking help for my depression. Let me tell you when you can barely find the strength to get out of bed another day and pretend your peachy, practicing gratitude is the last thing you want to do. I was asked to write down 3 to 5 things every night.
So here is my challenge. Print the photo below and write your gratitude list. Print it 7 times and do it every night before bed! If you want to infuse joy into your life start by being grateful for the big and tiny things you already have nestled in your life.
This recipe is Gluten, Wheat, Corn, Rice, Dairy, Soy, and Yeast free!!! Pretty much all the main allergens!
Step 1.
Dry Ingredients: Mix all of your dry ingredients together.
1 & 1/2 cups Almond Flour
1 & 1/2 cups dried Shredded Unsweetened Coconut
1/3 c Coconut Flour
2 big pinches of Salt
Step 2.
Wet Ingredients: In a small mixing bowl combine the following:
6 Tbsp Agave
4 Tbsp Lemon Juice
2 tsp Vanilla
1 Tbsp Lemon zest
Mix together all of the above ingredients…
Step 3.
The Thickener
1/4 cup AND 1 Tbsp melted Coconut Oil
While your Mixer is on, stream in your melted Coconut Oil. Your batter will thicken fairly quickly as it mixes with the Oil and the oil cools down.
Bake In oven at 350 for 30 minutes until golden on top. Allow to cool and then drizzle icing.
Lemon drizzle:
3 cups Powdered sugar (I used my vitamix and ground sugar into a powder so that it didn’t contain the corn that powdered sugar has.)
2 Lemons juiced
1 teaspoon Lemon zest (I strained out before adding the powdered sugar)
I crave sweets a lot but being gluten and dairy free makes the window for good eating a lot smaller. So i’v been on the hunt for delightful things to consume!
I really enjoyed these because they are light and sweet. Coconut is so good for you and has a lot of healing things in it.
