Iced coffee recipe, homemade iced coffee

Iced coffee recipe, with fresh brewed coffee at home. Quick video, stepwise pictures recipe.

Summer have officially started. I feel like skipping my meals and just have cold drinks all the time. Though I am not a big coffee fan, meaning, I love coffee flavour but I cant drink more than 4-5 sips. Exception, cold coffee. I have just love the rich cold coffee. That too Indian coffee shops sell perfect flavourful one with sweet just to suit my taste buds. I am such sweet toothed person.

Off late, Aj too wants to taste coffee. I have not given him coffee from his childhood and it so happened he is allergic to caffine as well. As he has grown, it’s not that severe, he can have once in a while, no issues. Still never take risk. So he experiments cold coffee from coffee shops. His favorite is cold brew nitro.

Can I make iced coffee with instant coffee?

Ofcourse yes. Use about 1 tbsp of Instant coffee for single serving. Add to water and dissolve to use it in the iced coffee.

Somehow I too liked the light coffee drink. As I make filter coffee for Vj everyday, I started saving the brewed coffee concoction remains (second brew mostly or leftovers) in ice cube trays for coffee ice cubes. So if you want strong iced coffee, which doesnt fade in taste becoming watery towards the end, you too can use coffee ice cubes to maintain the strength until last sip. If you would drink fast and fine with regular ice cubes, go ahead.

Just couple of things to remember while making iced coffee. Keep the coffee brew mild as you would not want bitter tasting coffee. Sweeten well for best taste. Creamer or milk to be added according to one’s preference. Even you can have it without milk or creamer. Use more crushed ice in that case.

Notes

You can use simple syrup (heat equal amount of water and sugar until sugar just dissolves) to sweeten the iced coffee.
Iced coffee involves no blending. So better add sugar to something in room temperature to dissolve it completely.
The strength of the coffee can be adjusted according to your taste preference by adding more iced water or plain ice cubes.
You can use evaporated milk, creamer too instead of boiled milk.
