Cheap Iced Coffee (in a pinch)

Whenever I go to Panera Bread, I end up getting a coffee--just a regular coffee from the self-serve urn. It runs about $1.90, but the refills are unlimited. They also have iced coffees but those are upwards of $3.00 each, and no refills.

Today I wanted something cold to follow up my coffee, but I wanted caffeine. I'm trying to avoid soda's sugar water, but I didn't want to buy anything else. So I decided to make myself an iced coffee.

I filled my coffee cup with ice, put in a couple Splenda packets, poured over some half and half, and filled it to the top with hot coffee. After stirring for just a minute, it was nice and cold. Mmmm... A hot coffee AND an iced coffee for around two bucks.
