Instructions
To begin making this refreshing Cold Coffee recipe, start by preparing all the ingredients. Gather the milk, powdered sugar, instant coffee powder, and ice cubes, and make sure your ice cream (if using) is ready.
-
Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the milk, powdered sugar, and instant coffee powder. Blend on high speed for about 30 seconds until all the ingredients are well-mixed and frothy.
-
Add Ice: Open the blender jar, and add ice cubes to the mixture. If you prefer a thicker consistency, add fewer ice cubes. For a lighter, more liquid version, add more ice.
-
Final Blend: Close the jar and blend again for another 30 to 40 seconds until the ice is crushed and everything is well-combined. The texture should be smooth, creamy, and chilled.
-
Optional Ice Cream Addition: For a more indulgent twist, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla or chocolate ice cream to the mixture. This will add extra creaminess and a rich flavor.
-
Serve: Once the coffee is blended to your liking, pour it into glasses. For an added touch, sprinkle a pinch of instant coffee powder on top for extra flavor.
-
Pair and Enjoy: This Cold Coffee pairs perfectly with a Scrambled Egg Sandwich with Cucumber, or any sandwich of your choice. Enjoy it as a refreshing breakfast treat or as a relaxing beverage after a long day at work with family or friends.
Pro Tips
- Coffee Strength: Adjust the amount of coffee powder according to your preference. For a stronger coffee flavor, add an extra 1/2 tablespoon.
- Sweetness: Feel free to modify the amount of powdered sugar based on how sweet you like your drinks. You can also substitute with honey or maple syrup for a natural sweetener.
- Ice Cream Twist: If you’re feeling adventurous, try adding different ice cream flavors like chocolate, caramel, or even coffee ice cream to complement the coffee’s richness.
This Cold Coffee recipe is versatile, easy to make, and guaranteed to become a favorite. Whether it’s a refreshing morning start or a cool evening treat, it’s the perfect blend of coffee, milk, and indulgence. Enjoy!
