Starbucks Iced Coffee Dupe - How to! - Frugal Family Food Coffee Month

[@TheRealLydiaSenn]

This is how I make iced coffee. I pour a cup of coffee. And then my kids start screaming about something. And then I go to drink it and it's cold. Voila. The end.

[@BudgetGirl]

hahahahaha

[@MyTableofThree]

Truth! Lol same here.

[@Hopeful-w7h]

Love ☕️, love frugal dupes! BG-I’m old enough to be your mama, and I’ve always lived a frugal, debt free life, with the exception of our mortgage, which we paid off in 9 years. But I’m here because one is never to old to learn. I have a couple pots of stevia on my deck-I find it’s milder and less bitter than store bought. 😘

[@freedomhomesteadky]

You are awesome and hilarious. LOL! Thank you so much for being in the collab again. You rock our socks and I am so making this!! I love coffee hot or cold and an iced mocha sounds good right now. -Tangi

[@alejandramartinez2595]

Why is your face always flawless? You need to do a skin care video girl. Too beautiful.

[@nenchantress84]

Yummm coffee ice cubes! Perfect for summer!

[@julietsgems5616]

I love that your little pumpkin is still out!

[@bebas1080]

I freaking love your KZbin channel you are such a motivational person to me because of you I paid off my 5 credit cards and my Online school and I’m still paying everything else off want to be debt free!!!

[@lauriehester4682]

"It's just the way science works." LOL! Great video!

[@dylongarrett4779]

I used to work at Starbucks. The espresso ice cubes are a cool idea. For cheap iced lattes people would get regular espresso over ice and add the creamer and sweetener from the bar. It would only cost them like $2-3

[@DebtFreeSaf]

Dylon Garrett - Investing and Personal Finance this is exactly what I do .

[@dylongarrett4779]

Very nice! I'll add you to my list of "the world's most creative people".

[@lifewithchristine72]

Yep. I have been doing this for years. Love it.

[@slogomary]

It is hot in southern calif, too! Good job!

[@amyq992]

I need that shirt and ice cube trays now.

[@flower040]

I started making my own Starbucks like drinks for my daughter when she was in senior high school years ago, I used a $1battery operated whisk(no longer have) or blender ,plus whipped cream and you mix & match, even add chocolate mix, flavored creams you name it.. saved me money and plus made them happy 🤗 recently I've been making sugar-free ones for me.. 😍

[@bronwenelizabeth635]

I do the coffee ice cubes too! It really makes a difference. I make cold brew in a French press and it's super easy!

[@rachelsrendition]

Is the French Press time consuming to do?

[@bronwenelizabeth635]

Rachel McGlothlin Actually making it, no it takes maybe two minutes. It has to sit for a while. I usually let it sit in the fridge for at least 8 hours, more if I remember to do it earlier. I just put the coffee and water in and stir and then let it sit in the fridge over night, then in the morning just put the strainer in and pour! Super easy and cheaper and faster (in the morning) than buying it every day!

[@bronwenelizabeth635]

Bodum makes an iced coffee French press, I just discovered it, it comes with instructions on how to use it, it's good if you want a French press just for cold brew. Comes in cute colors too.

[@ZELDAdog74]

Brilliant!!! I've been trying to figure out how to do iced coffee at home!!! Thank you!

[@MyTableofThree]

So glad I found your channel through Frugal Family Food! Binge watching your videos every chance I get lol!

[@freedominabudget]

I do the same thing with my leftover coffee!! NO watered down coffee for this girl!!

[@sophiegallo3389]

I love this! I've been finding myself going out to get coffee WAY too often lately. Thanks for the inspiration to get back into making coffee at home. 😊

[@michellesunshinestar]

I like Frugal Family Food. I was already subscribed to you!!

[@TheMindfulMillennial12]

LOVE THAT TSHIRT

[@Megan_Truly]

TFS I hardly ever go out for coffee or breakfast mainly because I'm not a morning person and DIYing is just easier for me. I don't have to be out the door until 10 minutes before work starts.

[@rachelsrendition]

I feel like my sister would love this! Great tip!

[@BlackPearlMinistries]

I make some Cafe bustelo in my moka pot. I have the biggest one they sell so I can prepare multiple cups at once. Then cool it down, place it in a mason jar and I'll have coffe for a few days. I put 2 oz of cold espresso in with an 11 oz Carmel premier protein. No added milk/sugar needed and loaded with 30 g of protein. I don't understand the cold brew hype. I just brew espresso and cool like you. Thanks for sharing your recipe!

[@April-zh2vm]

Love the idea!!! Love my coffee! Gets stronger as you drink it? Pure genius!!

[@CentsibleLivingWithMoneyMom]

I will try this. Thank you much.

[@kdarby08]

I'm lazy too but I set aside my laziness for cold brew 🤣 I think it tastes so much better than hot brewed coffee chilled down. But this is a good tactic with the coffee cubes 👍👍👍

[@nicoledwg1]

Totally agree on the cold press front. It tastes so much better and has less acidity. Just put coffee grounds in a pitcher, fill with water, let steep for 24 hours and then strain out the grounds. (google cold press to find out suggested ratios of coffee:water)

[@kdarby08]

Yeah that's what I do, and I make about half a gallon at a time so I only have to do it once a week or so.

[@dolci9161]

I love this because I too am lazy. haha I always hated having to soak and strain and it always turned out bitter for me. I can't wait to do this. :) Thank you!

[@madnessofmymind]

No...you can absolutely do this with zero mess LOL

[@BudgetGirl]

well you probably can... I obviously can't. :-D

[@christinadelp1932]

Good morning! Love, love, love the frozen coffee idea. Looking for the silicone ice tray now on Amazon. I really need to start doing this wasted some money on store-bought cold brew and I know better it's so much more economical the way you're doing it. I live in Pennsylvania where it's still fairly chilly so I'm glad to hear Texas is nice and warm I'll be in Corpus Christi the first week of June hahaha! I always look forward to your videos it starts my day off right 😀 have a great weekend!

[@karynb7781]

I'm a goin' with the decaf today...that looks like a big BUZZ ~ I'm goin' for a little BUZZ! Was your ice cube tray from $Tree? It's a nice BIG cube! Looks delicious... Hope You're Stay'in Cool! I found a discount Keurig this week 50% off. Also, I've seen them now at our Goodwill! But they have the hard water scale and IDK what other problems, so that's one thing I've skipped from thrift. I've never had one, I tried one once with the refillable K-cup at work and I made a mess of loose beans...had to clean that up. I've been watching the 'hack' videos, so maybe we'll try it soon for iced coffee? We'll have a lot of joy with it over summer break. Will you have off summer break? I don't think you do. Have an Awesome summer!

[@airmailmoon]

I love it! Thank you!

[@staytruewarriors9185]

Yay for coffee!!! Gotta have it!!

[@joanmilano5302]

Very cool, Sarah!

[@rachelschichtl911]

I love coffee! I brew at home and occasionally get a few gift cards for Starbucks- but I do love coffee. I can NOT however get into cold or iced coffee. I'm drinking steaming coffee in the middle of July!

[@rochellethundercloud346]

Sarah, it's easier to make iced coffee this way.freeze coffee.take a container and pour hot coffee inside. Add flavored syrup, creamer and sugar. Dump ice cubes in. Stick in fridge for a few hours, or freeze.

[@AbroadonaBudget]

I didn't start drinking coffee until I was 21 years old, and of course it all started with a gingerbread frap at Starbucks. But I guess that actually means I started drinking coffee flavored sugar milk at 21 years old...

[@Annette70able]

Iced coffee german version: add vanilla icecream. :)

[@lynnf9219]

Awesome!! Thanks👍

[@WesternRider2287]

This is such a good idea. Thanks:)

[@maddiealliemommy]

Love the shirt!!

[@createwithjulianne7760]

great idea!

[@eatpoop8514]

Morning Mr V sent me..just watched you both on his channel.

[@tamaralaird3389]

This is great but Aldi sells really good ice coffee for $1.99. It's a gallon of coffee.

[@MissTopDJ007]

Did you use the minimum payment amount and put towards the smallest loan and ignore the group loans while putting the extra payments to the smallest loan too?

[@BudgetGirl]

Pay mins on all your debt and put all extra money on the smallest one until its gone, then snowball that payment into the next smallest.

[@sprink123]

Can you please do a video on how to save $$ for a big vacation like Disney? A certified used car ? How to know if your buying the right car and gets a good deal? How to teach kids kids about saving money for what they want ?

[@leahhenshall7077]

Can someone please tell me what coffee creamer is? We don't use it in Australia and I don't understand it's use

[@NewZealandRM]

Leah Henshall I’m in New Zealand and agree, I don’t know what it is or what an equivalent here might be.

[@minicafe888]

Leah Henshall Not to sure how to explain creamer but it’s kind of like an accessory to add into the coffee. It can be found as a liquid or powder form. Sugar free or sugar-usually has a flavor to it like Hazelnut, Vanilla, etc. Kind of brings a sweetness to the coffee. We have gazillion versions of it in the U.S. :)

[@Natalie_11188]

Think of it as a flavored half & half. We have it in non dairy versions as well (for example made with soy or almond milk).

[@leahhenshall7077]

minicafe about the only extra we put into coffee apart from milk or sugar are flavoured syrups

[@stephanielitz5102]

It's like adding milk to your coffee but creamer is thicker and comes in many different flavors (as well as plain).

[@rachelpastors]

I swear I’ve seen you do this before- am I crazy?

[@BudgetGirl]

Not at all! I included the recipe in a 3 favorite budget friendly foods video I did about 3 years ago - How cool that you've been watching that long. Thanks!

[@karencatalano4349]

That’s why I didn’t like ice coffee,the ice watered it down,this what I do makes a big difference

[@itsabby8985]

Like! And...I am definitely doing this. :)

[@Malevolent_Siren]

If you want to be REALLY lazy, this is what I do: make your hot coffee double the strength and just add regular ice cubes... Basically the same thing but even less effort. 😊

[@rachelsrendition]

Cool tip!

[@Chunkybutterfly]

Thank u for the great video. Will u b doing a cooking-for-2 video with your boyfriend?

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

Im new and Im in Texas to. =)

[@kelseycoca]

Where at? I'm in Dallas!

[@MemeS-sb2cq]

Kelsey Carbary I'm in Hurst. Lol

[@kelseycoca]

Meme S neato! I hope she does a Texas meet and greet!

[@yettawat1564]

Yum! I love your silicone ice cube tray. Where did you find it?

[@BudgetGirl]

I think dollar tree or walmart. It was very cheap. I've bought others at Tjmaxx since.

[@yettawat1564]

Budget Girl Thank you!

[@cavazosvsally]

Love you budget girl. You are so inspirational.

[@rachell0129]

Why don't you guys just try reusable ice cubes? I make my iced coffee by using reusable ice cubes. All I do is make my hot coffee like normal and pour it in my to-go cup for work with my reusable ice cubes. Works like a charm. $aving big time!!!! Also, I found my reusable ice cubes at my local Dollar Store.

[@Mama.annalise]

Congrats on 30k!

[@eohnenachname]

Love your shirt - it's so cute! Tried to find a link to purchase it but couldn't find one in the frugal family foods facebook group - any chance you'd post it here? :)

[@BudgetGirl]

They post when they have shirt campaigns in the FFF group. I think this one is down for now. If you tag Amanda on there she could tell you more.

[@eohnenachname]

Thank you so much!!

[@TheBealles]

Alas, it will not be available for sale until the fall. We will keep you posted :)

[@mokaflor4607]

I hope is cheap coffee

[@Katrinabobina]

Thanks! What espresso maker do you use? Also, are you doing freestyle?

[@BudgetGirl]

I got the espresso maker at a thrift store for $5 actually. I see them there all the time!

[@ThatSavvyGurl]

I need that shirt man!

[@ThatSavvyGurl]

Where did you get it?

[@BudgetGirl]

They sell them in the Frugal Family Food group.

[@tasharichardson6131]

Money $aver❤
