Description
A refreshing coffee treat that mimics the beloved McDonald’s iced coffee, complete with customizable sweetness and creaminess, made right at home.
Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/2 cup milk (preferably whole milk)
- 2 tablespoons sugar, or to taste
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional)
- Chocolate syrup (optional)
Instructions
- Brew coffee a touch stronger than usual and let it cool to room temperature, then chill in the fridge.
- Dissolve sugar in warm water to make simple syrup, cool before adding.
- Combine cooled coffee, milk, and sweetener in a blender or jar with a lid. Blend or shake for 5–10 seconds until mixed and slightly frothy.
- Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
- Pour the coffee mixture over the ice.
- Top with whipped cream and drizzle with chocolate syrup if desired. Serve right away.
Notes
For a richer drink, use half-and-half or heavy cream. Allow modifications for dietary preferences with plant milk. Store brewed coffee in a sealed container for up to 5 days, and mixed drinks for 24-48 hours.
