What is your drink of choice in the morning? Do you indulge in a Starbucks coffee or do you enjoy a glass of juice from the fridge? I often find myself dreaming of iced tea or coffee on a hot summer day.
I am all about coffee and that is something I have in common with my sister. As much as she might be complaining about waking up in the morning, I am pretty sure she loves our morning coffee experience.
And there is nothing better than a cup of coffee brewed over ice to help me get my morning going in the summer. My only problem is that my little sister is addicted to the coffee, while I am taking a break of caffeine.
That is where out little Keurig comes very handy – one cup of coffee at a time with whatever flavor or caffein we desire.
I love K−Cup® coffee because it gives me same the delicious coffee shop experience without the hassle of driving, and at portion of the price. Besides that, any time during my busy day, I just take a five minute break with a cup of something delicious for a quick separation from reality. My escapism is further supported with an overwhelming variety of tea and coffee at my local Walmart – from Hazelnut Coffee to Half Coffee – Half Lemonade brewed over ice – I can’t think of a better summer beverage, but can they give me a pick me up without the cafinated jitters?
I found the Keurig website being very handy in narrowing down my choices to the desired results based on the preferences and that is how I have discovered my new favorites:
Vitamin Burst makes me think of sun-warmed strawberry and the flavor of sweet pomegranate, combined to create a delicious fruit brew high in antioxidants, vitamin C and it is caffeine-free.
The first time I tried Burst, I couldn’t believe the flavor and it sure is a great conversation starter.
My other favorite is the Half and Half Tea and Lemonade. It is still considered to be a regular tea, but I absolutely love the taste combination. Great product from Celestial Seasonings, this Iced Tea features equal parts all natural lemonade and smooth black tea; with just the right amount of cane sugar, it’s vibrant and refreshing.
Looking for creative recycling ideas of K-Cups?
Here are few Ideas
Grow Something
Use the K−Cup® as seed starters. To do so, empty the caplet saving a small amount of the coffee grounds and fill it with potting soil. Cover the starter capsule with plastic to create a greenhouse effect and see the seeds sprout.
Create Something
Pinterest is full of crafting ideas to make you fall in love with upcycling used K-Cups, but how about creating your own original K-Cups Art?.

Thank You #BrewOverIce, #BrewItUp and #CollectiveBias for making this post possible.
During the winter months I normally want hot chocolate or coffee but this summer I have been drinking a lot of ice tea too!
My favorite has to be sweet tea. The more sugar, the better!
I am in love with the Diet Snapple Peach Iced Tea K-Cup now! So good and great over ice. I like the idea of using the cups as seed starters – perfect size!
You are too much, K-Cup art, I would have never thought of that! We brew over ice every day during the Summer. I’m not much of a coffee drinker so I love the Snapple and Vitamin Burst Options! #Client
I love the idea of using grounds for planting. Maybe I’m crazy, but I’m pretty sure the coffee grounds made the color of my roses change slightly.
I think I’m one of the last people on Earth without a Keurig. Oh well. I love the sound of the half tea/half lemonade. I would think that would be delightfully refreshing. And would have thought that one could make art from k-cups?
I don’t think I’ve ever met a k-cup I didn’t like. I LOVE my Keurig. I’ve had it for a few years now, and it has gotten a ton of use in our home. It’s really great to have a variety of things for people to drink when they come to visit, and it’s so quick and easy to make.
We don’t do coffee or tea, but I have wanted a Keurig for cocoa for some time now.
Maybe that’s what I’ll get myself for our anniversary this year!
We just got 2 Keurigs at work. Today at a meeting, people were using it to brew coffee. They were all so excited! I haven’t tried it yet though.
You and your sister are so cute together. I love ice tea in the summer. Using a Keurig is so easy. Great idea to recycle the cup too.
While I am not a coffee drinker, I do love the smell and understand why others adore it so. I think my husband would enjoy the iced tea and lemonade, seems so refreshing.
