Save a fortune by making your own ice coffee instead of buying it each time. You will be able to customize this basic recipe to get your preferred flavor, size and result.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee granules
  • Freshly boiled water, as needed
  • Ice cubes, as needed
  • Milk, as needed
  • Sugar (optional)
  • Half & Half or cream (optional)
  • Squirty cream (optional)
  • Sprinkles or cocoa powder or cinnamon powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Put the sugar (if using) and coffee granules in a mug and pour over the boiling water.
  2. You should fill the mug to near the top.
  3. Stir until the sugar and coffee have dissolved.
  4. Put the ice cubes in a glass (I like to use a 16 oz one but the choice is yours).
  5. Pour the coffee mixture into the glass, over the ice cubes.
  6. Add milk, cream and/or cold water to taste.
  7. Top with squirty cream if you like, and sprinkle over cinnamon or whatever you wish.
  8. Add a straw and enjoy.

Notes

I find that a tablespoon of coffee granules is good to make a 16 oz (one pint) glass of ice coffee.
I like to add milk until the coffee looks the right color, then squirt cream on top.
Sometimes I use Half & Half for a creamier result.
