Brew Over Ice Review

Brew Over Ice


I was recently sent a Brew Over Ice gift pack to test out and review. I am a big coffee and tea drinker, so this was a big bonus for me. I have never used my Keurig to brew cold beverages and with the hot weather, there is no better time to start.


Using a Keurig has always been simple. Now I know that making a cold beverage is just as easy. Just a few modifications to brewing a hot beverage. Just follow the simple steps below.

Pick you Brew Over Ice K-cup

Insert the K-cup into your brewer and close the top of the Keurig
Place large cup full of ice under the brewer

Press brew and you are done!



To clarify, I chose to brew coffee over ice and add a little milk and a spoonful of white chocolate powder. I could not resist trying a white chocolate mocha for my first iced beverage. Yes it was delicious!

This was a great way to make a yummy cold beverage at home. I only ran into one issue. That is that most of the ice melted from the hot coffee brewing over it. I did find that reducing the brew temperature of my Keurig helped a little, but I think a little bigger cup is better if you are going to add anything to the beverage you brew.

Now that I know I can brew iced teas and cold coffee beverages, I am a little delirious. Could it possibly be a little too much caffeine and all of the money I am saving by avoiding over priced coffee shops? Yes!!

If you currently own a Keurig and would like a $2 coupon to try a Brew Over Ice product you can go HERE.

You can also play a game on the Brew Over Ice website for a chance to win $10,000!! Who would not want a chance at free money?

Torani: Not Just For Coffee

During the cold days of winter a nice hot cup of coffee is a great way to start the day, but coffee is not the ideal drink to serve my children after spending the day outside in the cold and rain.



Torani can be a solution for all of your family members. There are numerous ways to enjoy a splash of flavor anytime of the year. Get creative with all of the ways you can add a new touch to your everyday favorites. Here are some of the ways we enjoy Torani in our house.

My kids favorite for the holidays: Peppermint Hot Chocolate
1 cup of prepared hot chocolate
1 splash of peppermint Torani syrup
Top with mini marshmallows 

My favorite for the cold winter mornings: White Chocolate Mocha
4 ounces of prepared espresso (You can brew an extra dark espresso in a Keurig using the 4oz setting)
1 cup warmed milk
1 splash of Torani White Chocolate Syrup
Top with whipped cream
Drizzle with chocolate syrup
*Note: The milk can be left cold and the drink served over ice if a cold coffee is preferred

 Here is the summertime favorites in my house for everyone: Raspberry Italian Soda

8 ounces sparkling water (if you have a SodaStream or something similar you can just carbonate plain water)
Add Raspberry Torani Syrup to desired sweetness
Serve over ice

Raspberry Lemonade
8 ounce glass of lemonade
add a splash of Torani Raspberry syrup
Serve over ice

We are still experimenting with new ideas everyday. What would you like to create with your favorite Torani Flavors?
