Want a portable coffee that is easy to use, wherever you are in the world? We recently tried Steeped Coffee, which comes in tea bags and is easy to use...and you only have to wait 5 minutes for your coffee to be done! It's SO easy that we enjoyed it up north, with fresh rhubarb pie (delish).

I also tried Steeped Coffee's Thai Iced Coffee Recipe (below)...and it's also delish, and perfect for a hot summer day! And don't you love how my cream turned into Nagini/Nessie/a baby Brachiosaurus?

Here are some iced cofee recipes from Steeped Coffee that I think you'll enjoy:

How to make the perfect Steeped Iced Coffee Concentrate

For each serving, you'll need:
* 1 Steeped Coffee Pack
* 1 10 oz. mug
* Filtered water

Directions:
* Heat filtered water to 205 degrees, or just below boiling
* Place Steeped Bag at bottom of mug
* Pour hot water over Steeped Bag until the mug is half full
* Use string to dunk Steeped Bag 20 to 30 times over 1 minute
* Leaving the Steeped Bag in, let the coffee steep for 5 to 7 minutes or more to taste
* Remove Steeped Bag

Tips
* To serve a crowd, make multiple batches of Concentrate. Store leftover Concentrate in the fridge.
* Freeze Steeped coffee in ice cube trays. Use coffee cubes instead of regular ice cubes to avoid diluting your beverage.
* Everyone knows the best way to enjoy iced coffee is through a straw. Be kind to the environment – buy reusable, dishwasher-safe metal straws!
