I highly suggest that if you are creating a blended or cold beverage that you make a tray (or two) of ice cubes made of coffee!! That is right, a game changer y’all. Just brew a pot of your choice and allow it to cool completely. Fill ice cube trays as you would with water and freeze!! Once solid pop out and transfer to a gallon storage baggie so you are ready to make your iced coffee drinks, get them cold fast and not dilute it!

How to Make Iced Coffee

Before you get to making one below or one of ours linked above you should have the keys to success on how to make iced coffee the best way possible, period.

  1. Brew coffee, cool, pour into ice cube trays and freeze overnight. A MUST base to your drink.
  2. Start by brewing a pot of your favorite coffee Brew it a bit stronger than usual if you don’t make coffee ice cubes as they will dilute your drink.

Can condensed milk be used in coffee?

Yes, condensed milk can be used in coffee, and it’s a delicious way to sweeten and add creaminess to your drink! Inside coffee is popular in various cultures and can be a great alternative to traditional cream and sugar. Known to be used in Vietnamese coffee, where strong brewed coffee or espresso is mixed with this it is heavenly.

What is a coffee with milk called?

A coffee with milk is commonly referred to as a café au lait or a latte, depending on the specific preparation. It is made with brewed coffee (often drip coffee or French press) mixed with steamed milk in roughly equal parts. A simple but “fancy” way to serve a hot drink that can have flavoring incorporated if desired easily.

What is the most milk coffee drink?

The coffee drink with the most milk is typically a latte, particularly the larger versions commonly served in cafes. A latte typically has 1 part espresso to 2-3 parts steamed milk, plus a small layer of milk foam on top. This high milk-to-coffee ratio makes it the most milk-heavy of the common coffee drinks.
