How to Make Iced Coffee at Home. 5 Easy Recipes

Do you love iced coffee? Do you spend way too much money at coffee shops? Here are some easy and inexpensive recipes that you can make at home.

Coffee is delicious but I can’t quite get myself to drink black coffee. I typically drink cold brew or espresso and I always add a little flavor to my coffee.

There are a ton of iced coffee recipes out there. To be honest these recipes may not be revolutionary but they are cheap and easy which is a win in my book. I named these recipes based on what they remind me of. I’m always looking for a good recipe so please share your recipes in the comments. Now let’s get into the good stuff.

Sweetened Cold Brew (Iced Coffee)

This recipe has 2 ingredients. That’s it. Well 3 if you count the ice. This is by far the simplest recipe of the bunch but quite possibly the most delicious. It’s creamy and sweet without being overpowering and with 1 can of the sweetened condensed milk you can make a ton of these drinks.

-Cold brew or iced coffee

-Sweetened condensed milk

Sweet Cream Cold Brew (Iced Coffee)

This iced coffee recipe takes a little bit of work. For the sweet cream you will need to bring out the mixer. Luckily you can make the sweet cream on Monday and use it throughout the week so you’ll only have to bring the mixer out one-time. This recipe is great for someone who likes a slightly sweetened coffee and an Instagram-worthy coffee.

Iced Vanilla Latte

This is the iced coffee that I would typically order at a coffee shop. I very rarely order coffee any more but this is a simple drink that has never disappointed me. Today I am using half n half for this recipe but it is usually made with milk. I just wanted to use up some half n half in my fridge but you can easily substitute with the milk of your choice.

-Espresso

-Half n Half

-Vanilla Syrup

Cold Brew with Cold Foam

This recipe is easy and looks fancy. To make the cold foam I used this inexpensive milk frother from Amazon. This thing is awesome. I was easily able to make a coffee house quality drink in minutes. You can check out the milk brother here.

Iced Hazelnut Latte

This is similar to the iced vanilla latte recipe listed above. I decided to include this recipe because I used a different technique to cool down my espresso in this recipe. You can substitute any flavored syrup here, I just decided on hazelnut for today.

-Espresso

-Half n Half

There you have it, 5 simple iced coffee recipes. One for every work day.

As I said before, these recipes are not revolutionary but they are delicious. In these recipes I used hazelnut and vanilla syrup but you can substitute with your favorite flavored syrup. A great place to find flavored syrups at a great price is at Ross and Homegoods. You can even make your own at home for a fraction of the price.
