Iced coffee is chilled before it's poured over ice, then topped with cold milk. The coffee flavor comes through nicely, and the sugar is up to you, depending on how sweet you like it. I make it without sugar for my husband, who drinks his coffee unsweetened. Prep: 2 minutes. Cook: 5 minutes. Rest: 90 minutes. Total time: 97 minutes. Servings: 1. About 90 kcal and 5 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 100 g ice
  • 150 ml coffee
  • 150 ml milk
  • 1 teaspoon sugar (optional)

Preparation

1. Brew 150 ml of coffee in about 5 minutes. If you want it sweet, stir 1 teaspoon of sugar into it while it's still hot. 2. Let the coffee sit for 30 minutes, until it reaches room temperature, then cover the cup and refrigerate it for 60 minutes, until thoroughly chilled. 3. Put 100 g of ice in a glass, pour in the cold coffee and add 150 ml of milk. Serve immediately.

Notes

A plain cookie on the side is enough. Plain coffee keeps in the fridge for up to 3 days; add the milk and ice only when serving. A darker roast can taste more bitter when cold, and sugar dissolves more easily while the coffee is hot. Crushed ice cools it quickly, but melts sooner than large cubes. You can use the same amount of lactose-free milk; regular milk contains dairy.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use instant coffee?

Yes. Dissolve 2 teaspoons of instant coffee in 150 ml of hot water and let it cool before pouring it over the ice.

Does espresso work too?

Yes, use 2 long espressos, about 120 ml in total, and top up with water to 150 ml.

Why do the coffee and milk separate in the glass?

Their different densities can leave them in layers. Pour the milk slowly in a thin stream for about 10 seconds.
