The perfect iced coffee recipe

We love starting a hot summer’s day with an iced coffee. With our iced coffee recipe, you can enjoy the perfect cooling (yet caffeinated!) beverage.

Ingredients:

• Enough ice to fill most of your glass
• Milk of your choice. We used coconut milk in this recipe, but any milk or milk alternative will do.
• A light to medium roast coffee. Head to our guide on light and dark roasts to learn more about choosing the perfect roast for you.
• Simple syrup or maple syrup (optional)

Method:

• Fill your glass with ice
• Add your chosen milk. The amount will vary depending on how strong you’d like your iced coffee to be.
• Brew 120ml of coffee, or make a shot of espresso (this is our recommended method, as it cools faster when mixed with ice)
• Pour the coffee or espresso over the milk and ice
• If you like a sweet coffee, add a simple syrup or some maple syrup to taste. We would not recommend adding sugar, because it won’t dissolve well in the cold coffee.
• Stir well and enjoy

Here’s an example of James making our iced coffee recipe using a shot of espresso:
