Ingredients

You only need a handful of simple ingredients to make this creamy cold coffee:

  • 3 tablespoons of warm water

  • 2 teaspoons of instant coffee granules

  • 1 teaspoon of granulated sugar

  • 1 cup of ice (add more to taste if you prefer an extra-cold drink)

  • 6 fluid ounces of cold milk (dairy or plant-based both work well)

Step-by-Step Directions

  1. First, measure out and gather all your ingredients to keep the process smooth and organized.

  2. Add the warm water, instant coffee, and sugar into a small sealable jar or lidded container. Secure the lid tightly, then shake the mixture vigorously until it becomes light and foamy.

  3. Fill a serving glass completely with ice, then pour the foamy coffee mixture into the glass. Top off with cold milk, give it a quick stir, and add extra sugar or ice if needed to adjust to your preferred taste before serving.
