Iced Coffee
Ingrédients
Instructions
Mix together until coffee and sugar is dissolved. Add milk. Shake well. Using a blender or milk shake maker produces a very foamy drink. Serve in coffee mug.
Iced Coffee is a non-alcoholic chilled coffee drink made by dissolving instant coffee and sugar in hot water, then combining with cold milk for a creamy, refreshing beverage. It is a simple and satisfying alternative to hot coffee, ideal for warm weather or as a mid-afternoon pick-me-up. The drink can be made frothy by shaking or blending.
History & Origins
Iced coffee has been consumed in various forms since the 19th century, with Japanese iced coffee (flash-chilled pour-over) and Vietnamese cà phê đá among the most celebrated traditions. The American home version using instant coffee became popular in the mid-20th century as instant coffee dominated household pantries. This recipe reflects the straightforward domestic tradition of chilled instant coffee with milk.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Mild roasted coffee with a sweet, milky creaminess. Palate: Light and sweet, with the instant coffee's soluble roast notes balanced by the cold milk's richness and the dissolved sugar's sweetness. Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a gentle coffee aftertaste and cool, creamy linger.
Pro Tip
Use a blender or milk shake maker to combine all ingredients for a foamier, colder result; serve immediately over ice in a tall glass.
