Iced coffee is cold coffee made with espresso and frothed milk, and the cubes need at least two hours in the freezer. In the glass, the milk stays airy, while the cubes melt gradually and keep the coffee flavor present without watering down the drink like regular ice. I drink it without sugar so I can taste the espresso more clearly. Prep time: 5 minutes. Cook time: 0 minutes. Rest time: minimum 2 hours. Total time: minimum 2 hours and 5 minutes. Servings: 1.

Ingredients

80 ml espresso
80 ml milk
1 teaspoon (5 g) sugar (optional)

Preparation

1. Pour 80 ml espresso into ice cube trays and freeze for at least 2 hours, until the coffee is completely frozen. 2. Froth 80 ml milk until it forms a fine foam. 3. Put the frothed milk in a glass, add the coffee cubes and 1 teaspoon (5 g) sugar, if you like.

Notes

It goes well with a plain biscuit; the drink contains dairy. The cubes can be made ahead and kept in a sealed container so they don't pick up smells from the freezer. Larger molds may need more than two hours, and concentrated espresso keeps the coffee flavor more present when mixed with milk. Sometimes the cubes stick together in the tray; remove them and store them separately once frozen. I use a coffee machine with a frothing function, but a separate milk frother does the same job.
