Iced coffee has become a meme at this point. Tired? Iced coffee (obviously). Happy? Iced coffee. Socializing? Iced coffee. Sad? Iced coffee. The answer is always iced coffee.

That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea. I don't know what I'd do without iced coffee. I sound really basic right now, but I don't even care.

Even as it gets colder outside, I still find myself wanting iced coffee. Aside from hot tea every once in a while, and I do love my London Fog drinks, I'm an iced coffee kind of girl.

What makes iced coffee so special, anyway? It's coffee, watered down at best. I have no idea what makes it so good. Maybe it's that it literally jolts you awake since it's so cold. Warm drinks make me sleepy. I have no idea why it's so hard for me, but I need to make the switch to hot coffee because it's SO EXPENSIVE to drink iced coffee for some reason.

I understand that iced coffee isn't just coffee over ice, or at least it's not supposed to be. However, at some coffee shops, that's exactly how they make it. For some reason, the ice I have at home melts too quickly and my coffee tastes awful. I can't master the homemade iced coffee, even though I want to.

If it's 30 degrees outside, you'll see me drinking iced coffee. I know it's weird. I know it makes no sense. Now that I've made the switch, I can't go back.
