I'm the only one who drinks frozen coffee also. What I did was made a pot. Then I froze them in a ice try. I use about 3-4 cubes with milk or vanilla ice cream, then blend in blender. I have been looking for recipes but haven't come across a great one yet. My suggestion is to make 1 cup of coffee however you make it add ice cubes, vanilla ice cream and thats it. Here are some recipes I have found: Cappuccino Smoothie Recipe 2 cups brewed double strength coffee 1 pint coffee ice cream 6 cups ice 1 1/2 cups milk whipped cream, if desired cinnamon for garnish Place coffee, ice cream, ice and milk in blender. Mix well until smooth. Top with whipped cream (if desired) and cinnamon. 277 Calories, 36g Carbs, 8.8g Fat, 16.8g Protein =------------------------------------------- STARBUCK'S FROZEN FRAPPUCCINO The Frappuccino is blended with strong coffee, sugar, a dairy base, and ice. Make double-strength coffee by measuring 2 tablespoons of ground coffee per cup (serving) in your coffee maker. The copy will be even more authentic if you use Starbucks beans and grind them yourself just before brewing. Coffee 3/4 cup double-strength coffee, cold 1 cup low-fat milk 3 tablespoons granulated sugar 2 cups ice 1. Make double-strength coffee by brewing with twice the coffee required by your coffee maker.

I've also heard sun tea harbors bacteria. I cold brew mine..a gallon jug of filtered water from the frig, tea bags, amount depends on your strength preference, I use 7..cap it and put in frig. Done in about 6 hours. Carefully remove bags. I have found its much less bitter. All this talk expecially about the limoncello reminded me I wanted to make lemon flavored simple syrup. Its delicious in tea, waffles, or jut a bit in ice water. 3teaspoons lemon zest 2 cups cane sugar 1/2 cup lemon juice..I use the juice I zested the lemons from. 1/2 cup water Put everything in a stainless steel pot, bring to boil, turn down heat till its at a very low boil. Cook 5 minutes. Let cool, filter it, I use cheese cloth. Store in frig. I love this in sparkling blood orange Sanpellegrinos over tons of crushed ice...yummmm

Thank you dyhgarden - I think you're right about the tray. It will help everything to not float as much. If I do the open shelves, do you think about finding shelves that match the wine rack, or should I do another kind of shelving. Also your question about will I use the chalkboard is a good one! I don't think I would use it for list making, but I would use it as a changing "thought of the day" kind of thing. I can't decide if that is something I like or not. Angel 18432, my original intent was to paint the wall with chalkboard paint, but I was afraid it would be too dark. The wall I saw the wine rack on is a very dark gray, so maybe I need to think about painting it all with chalkboard paint.
