Recipe Snapshot
- Prep time: 10 minutes
- Cook time: Not specified
- Total time: 10 minutes
- Yield: 2
- Category: Beverages
- Cuisine: American, World
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee (– powder or granules)
- ¼ cup warm water
- 3 to 4 tablespoons sugar (or add as required, can use raw sugar too)
- 2 cups whole milk (– cold or chilled)
- 6 to 8 ice cubes (or as needed, optional)
Method
- In a blender take your instant coffee, raw sugar, add warm water.
- Blend for a minute or until the coffee solution becomes frothy and the brown color lightens a bit.
- Add 6 to 7 ice cubes. For a thick cold coffee, you can reduce the ice cubes from 2 to 4.
- Pour 2 cups cold milk.
- Whole milk gives a slightly thicker consistency and is richer. You can opt to make the cold coffee with skimmed milk or low-fat milk. If you decided to add either, then reduce the ¼ cup water to about 2 to 3 tablespoons.
- Blend for 1 to 2 minutes or until the milk is mixed evenly with the coffee concoction and you see a nice frothy layer on top.
- Pour in glasses and serve cold coffee. The frothy top layer will settle into the beverage as it sits, so it’s best to enjoy blended iced coffee right away.
Serving & Storage
- Serve cold coffee immediately after blending, while it is chilled and frothy. Enjoy it plain or with a light topping of ice cream (vanilla or chocolate) or drizzle some chocolate syrup.
- Cold coffee is best consumed fresh. Avoid storing or refrigerating, as the texture and taste change once the ice melts.
