Some of us are creatures of habit and others need to spice things up every now and then. We fall somewhere in between. We love our delicious Dandy Blend as is, and other times we want to make a fun little treat out of it. If you want to mix things up (and you’re feeling the heat this summer), we’ve rounded up seven of our favorite ways to upgrade your daily iced Dandy Blend.

HOW TO PREPARE AN ICED DANDY BLEND
If you always prepare your Dandy Blend hot, you probably don’t know that you can also mix it directly into room temperature or cold water. Yes, it’s that simple. Dandy Blend is water-soluble and works great in all different water temperatures. You can also prepare warm and pour over ice if you prefer.
7 WAYS TO UPGRADE YOUR ICED DANDY BLEND
Here are seven fun ways to upgrade your iced Dandy Blend this summer:
1. Homemade Simple Syrup
There’s nothing a little homemade simple syrup can’t sweeten up. Vanilla simple syrup is just equal parts water and sugar with a hint of vanilla paste. If you’re into floral flavors, check out our homemade lavender simple syrup.
2. Sweet Cream Topping
Thick, foamy sweet cream is one of our favorite ways to make an at-home drink feel more elevated. It tastes so rich and tasty, and is surprisingly easy to make. Try out our recipe here.
3. Dandy Blend Ice Cubes
If you’re a slow sipper and want your Dandy Blend to stay, well, Dandy Blend, we recommend making some ice cubes ahead of time. All you have to do is pour prepared Dandy Blend into an ice cube mold and let freeze overnight.
4. Make it a Latte
There’s nothing more satisfying than an ice cold latte on a warm summer day. Make your favorite iced latte with Dandy Blend for an instant pick-me-up. Check out our caramel latte recipe for a sweeter latte option.
5. Cold Brewed
Pouring Dandy Blend over ice is delicious, but making a cold brewed Dandy Blend ahead of time really hits the spot when it comes to craving a cold beverage. Just make a large batch of Dandy Blend and let it refrigerate overnight. You’ll have ready-to-go cold brewed Dandy Blend all week long.
6. Shake Some Spice
Coffee shops used to always have shakers of cinnamon, cocoa, and nutmeg sitting around. Whatever happened to that? An easy, yummy way to spice up your Dandy Blend is to add a few shakes of your favorite spice. Don’t overlook powdered ginger or sea salt while you’re at it.
7. Decadent Rims
If you really want to show off, add a delicious chocolate or caramel rim to your next iced Dandy Blend drink. Extra points if you then roll it in cacao nibs or sprinkles. This is a great treat for kids, too.
