Take a sweet and salty refresher with this salted whipped cream over a cold brew coffee.
Recently, a friend posted a photo on her Instagram — a salted cream iced coffee drink. I saw it at exactly the moment when I was breaking from the morning’s adventures of chasing an almost 2 year old, listening to the nonstop stories of a 5 year old, while attempting to accomplish a few household chores. It was finally break time, aka nap time.
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!
Along with a treat to eat, I always save coffee time for nap time. So, this particular day that I saw the salted cream iced coffee photo, I decided I needed to make this for my next treat time. To make it fast and easy, I cheated and use store-bought whipped cream instead of whipping my own. But, hey, I need to savor every last minute of glorious nap time, so this short cut was necessary.
Use the recipe for my easy cold brew coffee and sweeten it with my simple syrup, then top with the recipe for salted cream. It’s delicious, unique, and a perfect refreshment to get you going again.
The Milano dulce de leche cookies are my favorite and pairs beautifully with this salted cream iced coffee. If you think about the salted caramel iced coffee craze then you understand why.
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!
I wake up early before the chaos and drink my coffee with almond milk.
I find a break by spending time outdoors and going on nature walks.
I take time for myself by making healthy smoothies, and spending time doing my yoga and meditation. It really helps me stay focused!

I put on my iPod shuffle and go for a walk. Music, movement, and meditation seems to recharge me.
I take a break with a bubble bath and these cookies.
if i get a chance to run without the kids during the day, thats an amazing break. most days that’s not the case though and often during the kids quiet time I watch The Chew and drink some cold brew iced coffee.
I wake up early in order to take the time to get in a good workout before work. It is the one thing I do for me and it makes me feel better.

I find a break from all that I juggle throughout the day by sitting out on the patio with a good book and a nice glass of wine.
My afternoon break usually consists of having a cup of unsweetened nut milk with something sweet (like a cookie or brownie), that way, I get my daily dose of calcium while balancing the sweetness level and feel less guilty about enjoying a sweet treat!
here’s my tweet https://twitter.com/pic_links/status/595643586198245376 and thanks for the giveaway!
I utilize the precious hours of nap time by reading a book or catching up on *quiet* household tasks.
I talk on the phone with friends who are positive influences in my life as I talk about my day and listen to theirs:)

Nap time is my break time most days as well. Even though I only have one that naps, my older 5 do their chores, schoolwork, and read. I at least get 15-30 minutes of quiet.
I like to make a cup of coffee, grab a good book, and read a bit in the quiet of my bedroom.

Get up before anyone else and have my tea and read my favorite blogs!
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!
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!
The only time I really find a break is at night after everything is done in the house.

I like to take a break by going for a walk with my husband. It’s a nice way to unwind.
When I need a little me time I make a cup of coffee and enter my giveaways and read up on the latest blog post!
A break for me is checking on the world outside. Just stepping out the door to feel the air, hear the birds, look at the sky, and seeing what else is happening–that’s the best “me” time.

Thank you!
My fave way to make me time is to just sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds. Its easy enough to find a few minutes to do at least that
It’s not easy to always find time to take a break. But I always remind myself that I have to take some time to unwind….and start all over again! hahaha….Lucky that my hubby can usually very understanding for that. He always helps with the kids when I ask for help so I can get fresh air or a quick walk.

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.

I take a moment to enjoy a crossword puzzle.
I am currently at home 24/7 caring for my Dad who is staying with us after surgery. I have tucked a few crosswords in the laundry room area and I’ve been known to say “Do you need anything? I’m going to go throw in a load of laundry….” and then disappear for 20 minutes. (sometimes with a glass of wine. 🙂 )
