How to Make The Instant Iced Coffee At Home
- I used instant coffee for this recipe. If you can even call it a recipe. A stretch I would probably say. Nonetheless, it’s a recipe today. You can brew your own coffee if you prefer to do it that way.
- As for the measurements, it is done strictly on taste. If you prefer a stronger coffee, add more coffee granules, more hot water and less milk. As I am not a big coffee drinker, this version is quite weak. However, it still gives the coffee hit with a cool and creamy edge.
- You can make the coffee frothy and here’s how to do that. Put the entire drink (ice included) in a jar with a lid. Shake vigorously and then pour into a cup or glass. This was actually what I did this time around.
Next time the caffeine craving hits and it soaring 30 plus outside, head for the ice cubes instead of the coffee pot.
