Iced coffee ingredients

  • Instant coffee
  • Cold water
  • Creamer
  • Ice
a tablespoon full of instant coffee grounds

How to make iced coffee from instant coffee

  • Add 1 1/2 tablespoons of instant coffee and 2/3 cup cold water to a glass. Stir constantly for 1-2 minutes, until the instant coffee granules dissolve completely.
  • Add ice.
  • Stir in creamer to taste.

Notes

I do not include an amount for creamer to use as I have found this is personal preference, but this coffee to water ratio gives you the perfect coffee every time! You can make the coffee stronger or weaker by adjusting the coffee to water ratio.

Ways to customize iced coffee

  • Add more instant coffee: like your coffee stronger? Use more instant coffee to taste.
  • Use more or less water: Play around with the amount of water you use to find your perfect iced coffee.
  • Use coffee syrups with your creamer: vanilla syrup, salted caramel syrup, or hazelnut syrup would all be delicious.
  • Make a homemade cold foam: use a handheld electric frother to whip together heavy cream with coffee syrup or creamer until thick.
