Calories147kcal
- 1 cup water
- 2 Tbsp ground coffee for drip coffee, through a filter. You can also use espresso
- 1 cup oat milk or your favorite milk
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- ice cubes optional
- Cashew Creamer or Oat Milk Creamer Optional (links to recipes in post)
Instructions
- Make the drip coffee - pour hot water over the ground coffee through a coffee filter and allow to drip.
- Fill up a glass or a cup with ice cubes, then add the milk.
- Add the coffee and sweetener (alternatively, add the sweetener to the hot coffee, to dissolve faster)
- Add some creamer (optional) then stir and enjoy.
Notes
- For those that love strong coffee, then it's best to brew it stronger than usual. That way it won't become watered down as the ice melts. You can also make the ice cubes from coffee or milk.
- Feel free to add some vanilla extract, for a quick iced vanilla latte.
- You can include additional natural flavorings, such as peppermint or rose water. And even top with your favorite spice mix: pumpkin spice, cacao powder, cinnamon, etc.
- If you decide to make coffee ice-cubes, these can be frozen in bulk and stored in a freezer-safe bag for up to two months.
- Add some cacao powder for a quick iced mocha drink.
- If making Whole30, make sure to use unsweetened milk and no additional sweetener.
- For paleo/keto, use a sweetener such as erythritol and any unsweetened milk.
