Coffee ice cubes. We realize this isn’t a recipe as much as an idea.
If you aren’t making coffee ice cubes for your cups of homemade cold brew or iced coffee, you should consider it. It’s a game changer. No more diluted coffee because of water based ice cubes. With coffee ice cubes, you just get more coffee when it melts.

You can make coffee ice cubes with any coffee. During the summer we always have a batch of cold brew coffee on hand in the fridge. So we used a cup of it for these ice cubes.
We’re also sharing a sweet version – a Vietnamese style coffee ice cube. Vietnamese iced coffee consists of a dark roast coffee (we like making our Vietnamese coffee with Cafe du Monde coffee) with sweetened condensed milk. These ice cubes are equally easy to make as the regular coffee ice cubes but just with an additional ingredient.

For Vietnamese style coffee ice cubes:
