Notes

Top Tips

  • Quality Coffee: The better the coffee, the tastier the drink. Opt for a strong, flavorful brew.
  • Sweeten to Taste: Adjust the sugar to your preference. If you like it sweeter, add more; if not, reduce it.
  • Creamy Texture: For a creamier texture, use whole milk or even a splash of cream. Be sure to checkout my list of dairy milks.*
  • Flavor Boosters: Enhance the flavor with syrups like vanilla, caramel, or hazelnut.
  • Dairy-Free Substitute: You can use almond, soy, or oat milk for a dairy-free option. Check out my guide to non-dairy milks.*
  • Keep it Cold: Ensure your coffee is cold before blending to prevent the ice from melting too quickly.
  • Blend Well: Blend thoroughly for a smooth, icy consistency.
  • Toppings Galore: Don't forget to top it off with whipped cream, chocolate syrup, or even a sprinkle of cocoa powder.
  • Personalize: Experiment with different ingredients to make your own unique frozen coffee.
  • Enjoy Immediately: Your frozen coffee is best enjoyed immediately after blending for maximum frostiness.
  • * I wrote my milk guides for when you are making lattes. But the important points about which milks are best for coffee still work when you are using cold milk.
