Notes

Here are some handy pointers to elevate your iced coffee game:
  • Use Cold Ingredients: Starting with chilled milk and coffee will keep your drink refreshing without melting the ice too quickly.
  • Experiment with Flavors: Consider trying other flavored creamers, like hazelnut or caramel, to mix things up!
  • Make It Decaf: If you’re looking to enjoy a nightcap, swap for decaffeinated coffee.
  • Blend for a Smoothie: For a smoothie twist, blend the mixture with ice instead of pouring it over ice.
  • Garnish Creatively: Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a dollop of whipped cream for a stunning finish!
