Notes
Top Tips to make your iced instant coffee even better
- Once you are happy with the regular recipe, why not try some of these great ideas to make it really your own:
- Use flavored instant coffee such as hazelnut or vanilla for an extra kick of flavor.
- Flavored syrups can really boost the flavor of your iced coffee. I love salted caramel syrup. Check it out (and find your favorite) in my ultimate guide to flavored syrups for coffee. They taste better than store-bought and cost a fraction of the price!
- Use coconut water instead of regular water to add natural sweetness and electrolytes.
- Use almond milk or oatmilk instead of regular milk for a dairy-free option. I like to use oat milk, especially a barista blend. It'll give you an extra special creamy texture and taste.
- For a really foamy texture, blend your coffee with some ice and milk using a blender.
