Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee – powder or granules
  • ¼ cup warm water
  • 3 to 4 tablespoon raw sugar or add as required
  • 2 cups milk – cold or chilled
  • 6-8 ice cubes

Instructions

  • In a blender take your instant coffee, raw sugar, add warm water.
  • Blend for a minute or until the coffee solution becomes frothy and the brown color lightens a bit.
  • Add 6 to 7 ice cubes. For a thick cold coffee, you can reduce the ice cubes from 2 to 4.
  • Pour 2 cups cold milk. Whole milk gives a slightly thicker consistency and is richer. You can opt to make the cold coffee with skimmed milk or low-fat milk. If you decided to add either, then reduce the ¼ cup water to about 2 to 3 tablespoons.
  • Blend for 1 to 2 minutes or until the milk is mixed evenly with the coffee concoction and you see a nice frothy layer on top.
  • Pour in glasses and serve cold coffee. The frothy top layer will settle into the beverage as it sits, so it’s best to enjoy blended iced coffee right away.
