Everyone who reads this blog with any regularity knows that I'm a coffee enthusiast. Coffee is a part of my daily survival,Lavazza Ground Coffee is Fantastic All Year Articles and the thought of a day without coffee is unimaginable. Not simply any coffee, mind you; it must be worth my time and trouble to brew and to savor. That is why I am such a devotee of Lavazza ground coffee.

While nothing truly beats the eye-opening bliss of my first morning cup of just-brewed Lavazza ground coffee, and I do enjoy the seasonal variations of my drink of choice. Particularly this season of year, coffee drinks become yummy treats that can quench the thirst and satisfy the sweet tooth.

Lavazza Ground Coffee Over Ice - Simply Mouthwatering

When the calendar shifts toward the middle of the year, I tend to keep a glass pitcher in my fridge filled with brewed coffee. If I have something remaining from the morning pot, into the pitcher it goes. It's a wonderful way to save time and prevent from wasting any coffee. Any point of day I can simply reach into the fridge and pour the coffee over fresh ice cubes, toss in a little bit of raw sugar and milk, stir and savor. I generally go for an iced Lavazza ground coffee in the early afternoon, to aid in keeping those afternoon blahs at bay. In this sweltering part of the year, there's something about an iced coffee drink that can make any day feel like a vacation day.

Most days I'm a purist. Coffee, ice, sugar and cream, and I'm happy. Still, there are those days when you just need a little something more. This is when I love to get creative, and make summery festive drinks with Lavazza ground coffee.

One of my favorites is an iced mint mocha creation. I start by utilizing my muddler (a stainless steel tool used to crush mint leaves and fruit in tall drinks - I discovered mine at a local kitchen store for less than 10 dollars) to crush up some mint leaves. I grow my own in my window box garden, but you can find bunches of fresh mint at any green grocer. Just muddle them up slightly to release the fragrant mint. Then, add a generous squirt of your favorite chocolate sauce (go as high end as you can afford with this), then ice, and fill the cup with the cold Lavazza ground coffee. Stir with an elongated spoon (you'll want to make sure to mix the chocolate in quite well), add a straw and sip away. It's very revitalizing!

If I'm feeling truly decadent, I'll whip up an iced banana coffee milkshake. Just throw about a cup of iced coffee, a quarter cup of milk, a handful of ice cubes and a sliced banana. Stir it up nicely and pour into a large glass. This goes well with some biscotti for a pleasant afternoon snack, and is an excellent treat to offer your friends after a grilled evening meal.

Experiment with your own flavor combinations… raspberry mocha, coffee floats, the perfect iced cappuccino… there are so many various ways to enjoy Lavazza ground coffee, either freshly brewed hot, over ice, or blended into a wonderful summertime treat. Either way you pour it, it's delicious!
