In get sugar free raspberry syrup from the business Costco, and I have the pumps like they use at the espresso shop. I use 2 pumps of the raspberry syrup and either milk or half 'n half (preferred).

After our first pot of coffee (use Half n half only), then I'll switch to a flavored coffee like German Chocolate Cake, Mocha, Caramel . . . you get the idea. We never throw away the leftover coffee - pour into a glass jar and enjoy iced coffee later on. I've tried the flavored creamers, but have gotten away and enjoy either black coffee or use the half n half. However, I think I just might try the coconut oil (I dearly love coconut). I drink iced coffee year around, too.

Tea is just "plain" - no sweeteners, any flavors are delicious!

If you can, go to a Teavana store or to their website: Teavana.com and buy the CONTOUR TUMBLER. Very, very sturdy. Keeps coffee/tea hot for hours and iced drinks cold for hours. All metal construction and don't leak at all. Only travel cup I will ever use.


How I take my coffee: hot I drink it black. Iced: very dark (cream only)

sometimes I put in a tsp of cocoa w/ a dab of whipped cream in the coffee , other times a tsp of French vanilla flavor

I like the true taste of good coffee,no added flavors.Same with water,milk......

Thats how I drink iced tea!

I also like using cream with a dab of honey for sweetness

For years I drank my coffee black because all the artificial creamers tear my stomach up. Recently my DS introduced me to a product called "Bliss", that is made with real milk, so I can finally have something in my coffee once in a while. Love the salted caramel flavor.
