Equipment

  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon granulated instant coffee powder
  • 2 tablespoon granulated white sugar
  • 2 tablespoon chilled water
  • 2 Cup full-fat milk, chilled

Instructions

Blender Method:

  • Add coffee, sugar, and water in the blender. Blend for 10 - 20 seconds or till foamy and mixed well.
  • Add milk and blend for less than 10 seconds. Cold Coffee is ready.

Hand Mixer Method:

  • Combine coffee and sugar in a wide mixing bowl. Add hot water.
  • Start whipping the coffee using a hand mixer whisk attachment at medium-high speed. After 5 - 10 minutes the coffee will turn into a light brown color with a whipped cream texture.
  • Add a tablespoon or two of whipped coffee into the serving glass. Pour chilled milk. Stir using a spoon until combined well.

How To Serve Cold Coffee

  • Transfer cold coffee to a serving glass. Garnish with whipped cream/vanilla ice cream/chocolate sauce.
  • Serve cold coffee immeditaley.

Notes

  • In my opinion, use a strong instant granulated coffee powder with 70% to 100% pure coffee
  • For the hand mixer method, I use hot water to whisk the coffee whereas for the blender method ice-cold water.
  • Make sure the milk is chilled and straight out of the fridge.
  • Do not blend the coffee for too long after adding milk if you like to enjoy a foamy coffee.
  • If you are adding ice cream/whipped cream/chocolate sauce adjust the amount of sugar in the coffee accordingly.
