Take a sweet and salty refresher with this salted whipped cream over a cold brew coffee.
You mommas know what I'm talking about. Sweet, precious, nap time. Judah no longer naps, but we still require "quiet time" for him while Simon is napping. This gives me a quick break to get work done on my computer, or read a book/devotional, or even take a much needed power nap! But, you know what I almost always do during this treasured time? I sneak some sort of treat for myself. In the last couple of days, it's been Pepperidge Farm® Milano® cookies!
Salted Cream Iced Coffee
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold brew coffee
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup (more or less, to taste)
- 1/4 cup whipped cream
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
Instructions
- Pour coffee into cup filled with ice. Stir in the simple syrup. In a small bowl, mix together the whipped cream and salt. Top over the coffee and enjoy!

Coffee is a great breaktime treat. I also try to get a workout in every day. Lately that has not been happening because the little one refuses to nap 🙁 I still put her into the crib for a bit because a I need the break badly, then spend it feeling guilty. Oh, well, it's the life 🙂
This recipe looks amazing, thank you!
Connie says
I like to have a cup of tea in the afternoon. It helps me to get away from the craziness of work. I don't always have cookies with my tea, but when I do I prefer shortbread, and Pepperidge Farm Milano cookies are some of the best shortbread with chocolate cookies to have with tea!

One of my favorites is my 'lazy days'; I spend a whole day doing nothing productive. I read, listen to music, take a walk, watch old movies, take a long bubble bath, sip some wine or eat some dark chocolate.....and sometimes just daydream the day away. This is a rare treat for me.
