As most of you know by now, I'm pretty much 100 percent caffeine-powered.

So, come summer, my love for Java meets my love for cold refreshing drinks, and what you end up with is a video about my five favorite iced coffee hacks.

We're gonna get started today with the best way to add milk and sugar to an iced coffee.

It's ooey and gooey and rich, and what it does is add a ton of sweetness and creaminess to your coffee without a whole lot of effort.

I like to just pour it into my coffee over ice and give it all a good shake until it's completely combined.

Viola, iced coffee is served, and trust me, it is worth a try.

You can also do this with hot coffee as well.

Another great tip: If you're looking to add sweetness without any additional milk or cream is to make something called simple syrup.

To make simple syrup, it's really a simple...

I'm gonna say simple about 700 more times here, so, everyone bear with me.

To make your simple syrup, you're simply going to combine one part sugar and one part water on the stove.

I'm going to heat that mixture up by whisking it constantly until all of the sugar has dissolved.

To make your simple syrup even more delicious, you can add all sorts of flavors.

I like infusing it with some cinnamon or some vanilla or even some coconut.

Then all you have to do is strain out the solids, and what you end up with is a beautifully flavored simple syrup that can sweeten pretty much any kind of drink.

But I think, of course, is best with iced coffee.

For my next hack, I'm going to show you what I call an inside-out iced coffee.

In this case, instead of using traditional ice cubes, we're actually going to make ice cubes out of coffee and a little bit of chocolate sauce.

We're going to whisk these two together, pour them into an ice tray, and then, into the freezer to go until they're totally solid.

When it's time for coffee, you simply transfer your cubes to a glass and top them with some milk.

In this case, what you end up with is an iced mocha latte that is totally delicious and super simple to make.

If you didn't want to use chocolate in this recipe, you could also do this with some caramel sauce.

If you're looking for an iced coffee that's a little more on the decadent side, go ahead and try my vanilla iced coffee, which basically is a combination of a whole lot of vanilla ice cream and some hot coffee poured over it.

Oh yeah! Yeah, I know, you want one, right?

For my final trick today, I'm going to show you how to sneak your coffee into your breakfast smoothie, and that is a good way to start the day.

In my blender, I'm combining some ice, some coffee, a banana, some yogurt, and some chocolate protein powder.

I'm going to blend this all up, and basically, what you end up with is a breakfast of champions with a little Java kick.

I really hope you guys will give some of these iced coffee ideas to try, and of course, if you do, you must tweet me, instagram me, or snapchat me because I love seeing photos of your creations.
