Welcome back to my Channel! In this video, I will be sharing with You five delicious iced coffee recipes that you can easily make at home. These recipes have been highly requested by viewers and are perfect for the warm weather. So, grab your favorite cup or mason jar and let's get started!
Honey Cinnamon Latte
To start, let's make an irresistible Honey Cinnamon Latte. This is a simple yet flavorful recipe that requires only four ingredients. Begin by squeezing a desired amount of honey into a cup or jar, depending on how sweet you want it. Add a dash of cinnamon for a warm and comforting taste. Then, pour in two shots of espresso or approximately a fourth of a cup of strongly brewed coffee. Use a milk frother to whisk the mixture together, infusing the honey and cinnamon flavors into the coffee. Whip it for about a minute or two until the coffee becomes light and fluffy. Finally, add ice cubes and top it off with your preferred milk. Enjoy the sweet and aromatic flavors of this delightful latte!
Salted Caramel Cream Cold Brew
If you're a fan of the popular salted caramel cream cold brew from Starbucks, you'll love this homemade version. To make the cold foam, mix two tablespoons of heavy whipping cream and one tablespoon of whole milk in a dish. Add a Splash of vanilla syrup and a small splash of salted caramel syrup for a rich and indulgent flavor. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until stiff peaks form. In a Glass, add ice and a splash of vanilla syrup for extra sweetness, if desired. Fill the glass three-quarters full with your choice of cold brew. I recommend La Colombe's Unsweetened Dark ROAST Extra Bold for a bold and smooth taste. Then, top it off with the homemade cold foam and a pinch of flaky salt. Savor the creamy goodness of this irresistible drink!
Iced White Chocolate Mocha
For all the white chocolate lovers out there, this Iced White Chocolate Mocha is a must-try recipe. In a mason jar or glass, pour a tablespoon or two of white chocolate syrup, depending on your desired sweetness. Froth half a cup to a cup of whole milk using a milk frother. The frothed milk adds a light and fluffy texture to the latte. Fill the glass with ice and add two shots of espresso or a fourth of a cup of strongly brewed coffee. Pour the frothed white chocolate milk on top, creating a beautiful layered look. Admire the stunning presentation and indulge in the creamy white chocolate flavors.
Greek Frappe
If you're looking for a refreshing and trendy coffee drink, the Greek Frappe is perfect for you. In a deep, shallow dish or jar, mix two teaspoons of Instant coffee, two teaspoons of sugar, and four teaspoons of hot Water. Use a milk frother to whip the mixture until it thickens and forms a creamy consistency similar to whipped coffee. In a glass, add ice, five ounces of cold water, and three ounces of evaporated milk. Pour the whipped coffee mixture into the glass and stir well. This creamy and frothy frappe will be your new favorite summer drink!
Oreo Latte
Last but not least, let's make an indulgent Oreo Latte that combines rich coffee flavors with the beloved taste of Oreos. Begin by placing two Oreos at the bottom of a glass jar. Pour two shots of espresso or half a cup of coffee over the Oreos. Let it sit for a few minutes to allow the cookies to break down. Mash and stir the mixture until it is well combined. In a saucepan, melt five Oreo centers with milk, ensuring the milk doesn't boil. Once the Oreo centers are fully melted, let the mixture cool down. Strain the coffee and Oreo mixture into a mug to remove any creamy chunks. Slowly pour the milk into the coffee mixture, mixing it well. Add ice to the glass and pour the coffee and milk mixture over it. Feel free to top it off with whipped cream and some crushed Oreos for added indulgence. Get ready to enjoy a decadent Oreo-flavored latte!
