Equipment:

  • Blender or shaker
  • Ice tray
  • Glasses for serving

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of fresh, brewed coffee (you can use instant coffee too)
  • 1 cup of milk (dairy or non-dairy alternative)
  • 2-3 tablespoons of sugar (adjust according to your sweetness preference)
  • Ice cubes
  • Whipped cream (optional)
  • Chocolate syrup or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

Step 1: Brew Your Coffee:

Start by brewing a strong cup of coffee. If you’re short on time, instant coffee works just as well. Allow the coffee to cool to room temperature before moving on to the next step.

Step 2: Chill Your Coffee:

Pour the brewed coffee into an ice tray and place it in the freezer. This will allow the coffee to freeze into coffee cubes, preventing your cold coffee from becoming diluted as the ice melts.

Step 3: Sweeten Your Coffee:

In a blender or shaker, combine the cooled coffee cubes, milk, and sugar. Blend or shake the mixture until it reaches a smooth and frothy consistency. Taste and adjust the sugar if needed.

Step 4: Serve Over Ice:

Take out your chilled coffee cubes from the freezer and place them in a glass. Pour the blended coffee mixture over the ice cubes. The result? A cold and creamy coffee delight!

Step 5: Optional Garnishes:

For an extra touch of indulgence, top your cold coffee with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup or a sprinkle of cocoa powder. This step is entirely optional but adds a delightful aesthetic and flavor boost.

Step 6: Enjoy!

Grab a straw or a spoon and dive into the goodness of your homemade cold coffee. Sip slowly and savor the rich, creamy goodness with every gulp.
