Description
This iced coffee drink is the perfect blend of bold cold brew concentrate (or strong coffee), smooth milk or cream, and just the right sweetness. Topped with whipped cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder, it’s a refreshing, customizable treat for coffee lovers.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cold strong coffee, cooled
- ½ cup milk or cream of choice
- 2 tablespoons simple syrup or sweetener to taste
- 1 cup ice cubes
- Whipped cream for topping (optional)
- Cinnamon or cocoa powder for garnish
- Coffee ice cubes (optional)
Instructions
- In a glass, combine the cooled strong coffee with the milk or cream. Stir well to combine.
- Add the simple syrup or sweetener of choice, and stir again to ensure it’s fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness to taste.
- Fill the glass with ice cubes, or for an extra coffee kick, use coffee ice cubes.
- Top with whipped cream if desired, and garnish with a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder.
- Stir and enjoy immediately!
Notes
- For a flavor twist, try adding vanilla extract, caramel syrup, or flavored syrups like hazelnut or chocolate.
- Use almond milk, oat milk, or coconut milk for a dairy-free version.
- For a frozen treat, blend the ingredients with ice to create a frappé-style iced coffee.
- This drink is best served immediately, but any leftover cold coffee concentrate can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
- If you prefer a hot version, heat the coffee before combining it with milk, but the texture will differ from the iced version.
