There’s nothing quite as refreshing and invigorating as sipping on a cool glass of coffee to refresh and rejuvenate yourself in the morning, providing that much-needed caffeine boost. But you don’t need to settle for all those sugary syrups and fattening milk at coffee shops – you can easily create your own healthier version at home by opting for your preferred milk or whipped cream and forgoing high sugar syrups for this healthier iced coffee recipe – making this your new go-to beverage in no time! It will become your new go-to drink in no time!

If you want a healthier iced coffee experience, opt for cold brew. This method of brewing gives a rich and robust flavour while decreasing acidity levels for an easier stomach-feeling drink. Plus, cold brew has a higher caffeinated content than regular cups of hot coffee with smoother flavour.

Alternately, try making this delicious iced coffee using instant coffee and skimmed milk instead. This combination creates an irresistibly creamy foam when whipped using either an electric whisk or immersion blender frothing blades.

Add chocolate shavings or whipped cream for an indulgent dessert option, or spice up this drink by adding pumpkin spice for extra warmth in cooler weather. Or switch out milk for plant-based alternatives such as almond, coconut, soy or oat milk in order to create an alternative healthier iced coffee drink option!

To serve, spoon your iced coffee into a serving glass and top with any remaining chilled milk. Sip and enjoy immediately; feel free to stir or shake it if you prefer an even colder texture!

This iced coffee is delicious on its own, but even better when enhanced with cocoa powder for an extra sweet, decadent experience. Or you could experiment with different flavour combinations — like mint or vanilla — for even greater variety and enjoyment!

Add some protein to this iced coffee for an added boost, by mixing in one of your favourite vanilla or chocolate protein shakes! Or simply pour the coffee over top of your shake and serve.

If you want a quick way to store iced coffee for later consumption, try using some coffee ice cubes! Simply freeze some strong coffee into an ice cube tray before popping them in your freezer – they may water down your drink slightly when they melt but at least your drink will stay nice and cold! Of course you could always just use regular ice cubes!
