Ingredients
Before we get started with the instructions, let’s gather our ingredients!
- 1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1-2 tablespoons of sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 cup of milk (you can substitute with almond milk or oat milk)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
- Cocoa powder or chocolate syrup (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Now that we have all our ingredients, let’s get started on making this delicious iced coffee!
- Brew the Coffee: Start by brewing your favorite coffee. Aim for a strong flavor since it will be diluted with ice and milk. Once brewed, let it cool to room temperature or refrigerate it to speed up the process.
- Prepare the Glass: Take a tall glass and fill it halfway with ice cubes. The more ice, the colder your drink will be!
- Add the Coffee: Pour the cooled coffee over the ice cubes in the glass. If you prefer your coffee sweeter, this is the time to add sugar and stir until fully dissolved.
- Mix in Milk: Next, add half a cup of milk to your glass. You can adjust the amount based on how creamy you want your iced coffee to be. Stir well to combine the coffee and milk.
- Top it Off: If you love a touch of indulgence, add a dollop of whipped cream on top. To make it even more decadent, sprinkle some cocoa powder or drizzle chocolate syrup over the whipped cream.
- Final Touch: Give your iced coffee one last stir to mix in all the flavors, and it’s ready to be served!
Enjoy your homemade iced coffee while relaxing on a sunny day. This drink is not only refreshing but also customizable, so feel free to experiment with different flavors and toppings to find your perfect blend. Cheers to a delicious coffee experience!
