Freeze Coffee in Ice Cube Trays for Iced Coffee That Doesn't Get Watered Down

The Problem

You make iced coffee and by the time you drink it, it's watery and weak from melted ice.

The Hack

Pour leftover brewed coffee into an ice cube tray and freeze. Use coffee cubes instead of regular ice in your iced coffee.

Why It Works

Regular ice melts and dilutes your coffee. Coffee ice cubes maintain strength as they melt — they actually add more coffee flavor over time.

Pro Tips

• Also freeze leftover coffee for smoothies — adds caffeine without milk
• Add cream to some cubes for a creamy melt effect
• This is how good coffee shops make their iced drinks
• One tray of coffee cubes lasts a week of iced coffees
