Iced Mocha
I am sitting here drinking day old coffee and enjoying it immensely!  One of my favorite ways to use leftover coffee is to make iced-coffees.

Iced Coffee Recipes:

Iced Mocha Frappuccino (Elsa includes directions for Chocolate syrup)

Caramel Frappe (Jenni says this tastes like McDonald’s version. She also makes a Mocha Frappe.)

Iced Coffee  (Jenny also includes directions for Thai Tea)

Dairy-Free Pumpkin Spice Latte (You can use milk if you wish).

Freeze Coffee in an ice-cube tray

I like to freeze leftover coffee in an ice-cube tray. Then when I make a blended coffee drink I can use my frozen coffee cubes and the flavor is not diluted as the ice melts.

Recipes to Use Leftover Coffee in Baking

I love using day old coffee in recipes. Recipes using coffee usually call for “strong brewed coffee”. Coffee becomes stronger as it ages because some of the water evaporates. If your recipe calls for hot coffee, heat it in the microwave for a minute or two and you will have a cup of hot strong-brewed coffee. Here are my favorite Mocha Recipes:

Mocha Fudge

Mocha fudge Frosting

Mocha Fudge Pudding

Coffee House Cake (which Aunt B used in Coffee House Parfaits)

Mocha Fudge Bundt Cake with Mocha Fudge Glaze

    What great ideas! Ever since I quit drinking coffee,we always have a little left over. I uses some in a chocolate mousse the other day. What is it about coffee and chocolate? I love the combination! I’ve also used coffee in a brine for pork. Have a great week!

Welcome. I'm Alea!

On Premeditated Leftovers I share simple recipes made with whole foods, practical shopping tips, time saving techniques, and meal planning strategies. I also share tips for minimizing food waste, so more of the food that is purchased ends up on the table.

While volunteering as a budget counselor, I realized that food is the element of most people’s budgets where they have the greatest control. I set out to develop low-cost recipes from scratch to prove it’s possible to create delicious meals on a limited budget. Eating well while spending less is about more than just creating recipes using inexpensive ingredients; it’s about creatively combining ingredients so you don’t feel deprived and are inspired to stick to your budget.
