BEAT THE HEAT - Iced Coffee

The main drink that I have been craving lately (besides water and fruit juice) is "iced coffee" that I make myself. Now you can just buy a ready made one, but where's the fun in that?

I am addicted.



Here's how I make 1 large Iced Coffee:

  • Add a heaped spoonful of coffee. (I use Nescafe original)
  • Add 3 spoonfuls of sugar - I have a sweet tooth. (I use brown sugar)
  • Add half a cup of cold milk and stir vigorously (I use skimmed milk)
  • Add half a cup of crushed or cubed ice. (I prefer crushed)
  • Stir again and enjoy!

I add a lot of ice as it cools me down, once I have finished the iced coffee I am left with coffee flavoured ice cubes which taste amazing! The caffeine in the coffee also gives me a nice boost, but use decaff if you are wary.

Try it to beat the heat! :)

I have been making this since you tweeted about it! I use decaf coffee as i drink it at night and i use a blender because i like the very fine crushed ice. Sooooo yummy! :)

I am not really fond of coffee at all, but those pictures and your description really made me want to try this! I will try to do this as soon as I get home today. One question: Do you use any special tool to stir it all, or just a spoon?
XOXO
Mmmm the photos look very tempting! I love a nice iced coffee :)

@Catanya I use a fork to stir it :) x
Yums! That looks gorgeous! I'll try your recipe for sure!

I make a similar recipe in the blender - but I use 2 tsp of sugar...and maybe top it with a scoop of vanilla ice cream once in a while :-)

I love cold coffee drinks - and yours looks so pretty!

If you really wanna be naughty you can add lashings of whipped cream and cocoa powder...the skimmed milk means you can afford to treat yourself =D

i am obsessed as well, but i drink instant coffee (Neskafe as well) but you just need to add cold water and/or ice cubes. I absolutely share your love :P perfect summer drink :))Thanks for sharing your recipe!
