How to Enjoy a Venti Starbucks Iced Coffee for Under 1 Dollar!

I might be a little bit in love with iced coffee… ok you have me, it’s a full on love affair.  Not only do I love the flavor, but the ritual of drinking and the wondrous effects of caffeine.  And although I love going to Starbucks as much as the next girl, my wallet does not.  So a couple years ago I searched all these different ways to make homemade iced coffee but all of them took a lot of pre-planning and time (both of which I don’t want to bother with at 6 AM).

So what’s an iced-coffee-frugal-non-morning-person to do?  Hack it of course!

I found  50 packs of Starbucks Via on amazon from about $38 (including tax and shipping).  This comes out to $0.75/Venti Iced Coffee vs. the $2.95 in-store price!  The Vias are delicious and strong and make for the perfect iced coffee in less than 1 minute without have to do any planning.

When I’m on P2 I also like to purchase the decaf version and have a glass blended for dessert.  Also my favorite natural sweetener to add is Sweet Leaf Toffee Nut. Here’s how it all comes together:

Super fast, simple and cheap iced coffee! No need to plan ahead here, just open a Via pack, add water and ice and you coffee is ready to go!
Ingredients
  • 1 Starbucks Via packet
  • 12-18 oz water
  • 8-12 ice cubes
  • Natural Sweetener to taste
Instructions
  1. Empty content of one via packet info a very large glass or measuring cup
  2. Add 1/8 cup hot water and swirl until all the coffee is dissolved. If desired you can also add sweetener. Note: It’s very important to use hot water here. If you use cold water the Via won’t fully dissolve and you’ll have ground in the bottom of your glass (yuck).
  3. Add ice cubes then fill the rest of your cup (or measuring cup) with water.
  4. If I don’t have a cup the size of a venti around I will often make it in a large measuring cup/bowl and have two well-iced small glasses.
