Iced coffee recipe, homemade iced coffee

Iced coffee recipe, with fresh brewed coffee at home. In this post, let's see how to make iced coffee at home with quick video, stepwise images.

Ingredients · Servings 1
  • 3 tbsp Coffee grounds
  • ¾ cup water
  • 100 ml Brewed coffee
  • 80 ml milk
  • sugar As needed
Method · 5 min
  1. First brew coffee. Take 3 tbsp of coffee grounds and brew coffee with 3/4 cup water. I used coffee maker for this, but you can choose your way of brewing coffee.
  2. Mix sugar when it is warm and dissolve. Cool down.
  3. In a tall serving glass or mason Jar, place ice cubes.
  4. I used coffee ice cubes (that I saved over time from left overs/ second brew which is less in strength) Top it with 100 ml of brewed coffee.
  5. Pour 80 ml of milk - or according to your preference (boiled and chilled) and enjoy immediately by stirring it.

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 can't 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 caffeine 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 from coffee shops. His favorite is cold brew nitro from Starbucks.

My notes

Somehow I too liked the light coffee drink too. 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 doesn't 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.

1. Firstly, let's brew coffee. Take 3 tablespoon of coffee grounds and brew coffee with ¾ cup water.

I used coffee maker for this, but you can choose your way of brewing coffee.
