• Ice cubes: These keep your drink cool and refreshing.

• Ice tray: You need some ice cubes, or here's a pro tip: Freeze coffee brew into ice cubes to prevent dilution and add more intense coffee flavour.

Step-by-Step Cold Coffee Recipe

Now that you’ve got everything ready, let’s move on to the fun part–making cold coffee. Follow these simple steps to whip up a cafe-style cold coffee at home:

1. Brew your coffee solution: Brew a strong cup of coffee using your preferred method–drip coffee, French press, or instant coffee. Allow it to cool down completely before proceeding. To avoid dilution, use coffee ice cubes by freezing some of the brewed coffee in an ice tray.
   
   
2. Add coffee and sugar to the blender jar: Pour the cooled coffee into your blender jar or mixer grinder. Add sugar according to your taste preference - brown sugar adds a subtle depth of flavour.
   
   
3. Pour in milk: Add about 1/2 to 1 cup of cold milk (or any milk alternative you prefer). For an extra creamy texture, you can add a scoop of ice cream at this point.
   
   
4. Add ice cubes: Toss in a handful of ice cubes or your pre-made coffee ice cubes to keep the flavour strong and undiluted.
   
   
5. Blend until frothy: Secure the lid and blend the mixture until it's smooth and frothy. This step ensures your cold coffee has that creamy cafe-like consistency.
   
   
6. Serve and enjoy: Pour your blended cold coffee into a tall glass, top it with a little whipped cream or an extra drizzle of coffee for garnish if you like, and enjoy!

Variations of Cold Coffee

Cold coffee doesn’t stop at just one recipe. There are endless ways to enjoy this refreshing beverage, depending on your mood or preference. Here are a few popular variations:

1. Cafe Affogato: A simple yet elegant dessert-style cold coffee made by pouring a shot of hot espresso over a scoop of vanilla ice cream. The hot and cold contrast makes it irresistible.
   
   
2. Thai Iced Coffee: Infused with spices and sweetened condensed milk, Thai iced coffee brings a unique twist with bold flavours and a creamy finish.
   
   
3. Nitro Cold Brew: For a more adventurous take, nitro coffee infuses cold brew with nitrogen, giving it a rich, creamy texture and a slight sweetness without the need for sugar.
   
   
4. Iced Mocha: A delightful blend of cold coffee, chocolate syrup, milk, and ice, making it the perfect drink for chocolate lovers.

FAQs

What is the best type of coffee for making cold coffee?

You can use any strong brew, such as espresso, drip coffee, or even instant coffee, depending on your preference. The key is to ensure the coffee is cooled before blending.

Can I use non-dairy milk for cold coffee?

Yes! Oat milk, almond milk, and soy milk are great alternatives that work well in cold coffee recipes.

How can I make my cold coffee thicker?

Adding ice cream or using a little heavy cream instead of milk will give your cold coffee a richer, thicker texture.

Can I prepare cold coffee in advance?

Yes, you can brew the coffee ahead of time and store it in the fridge. When ready to serve, just blend it with milk, sugar, and ice.

What’s the difference between cold brew and iced coffee?

Cold brew is made by steeping coffee grounds in cold water for several hours, resulting in a smoother, less acidic flavour. Iced coffee, on the other hand, is brewed hot and then chilled before serving.
