Master the art of making perfectly refreshing, non-watery iced coffee at home with this simple recipe, featuring the essential trick of coffee ice cubes for consistent flavor.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee or cold brew concentrate
- 0.5 cup milk or creamer
- 2 tsp sweetener
- sugar syrup or honey to taste

Notes
For the best results, use freshly brewed, strong coffee or a quality cold brew concentrate. Adjust the amount of milk/creamer and sweetener to your personal taste. You can also experiment with flavored syrups (vanilla, caramel) for different variations. Always ensure your coffee ice cubes are fully frozen before use.
