Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons warm water
  • 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
  • 1 teaspoon maple syrup or granulated sugar
  • 1 cup ice or as needed
  • 6 ounces of cold nut milk

Instructions

  • In a jar combine warm water, instant coffee, and sugar. Seal and shake until foamy.
  • Pour into a glass full of ice. Add milk and adjust to your taste.

Notes

  • Mocha: Use your favorite organic chocolate syrup to add a little mocha magic to your iced coffee. Most chocolate syrups are sweet, so you will probably want to dial back the sweetener if you do this.
  • Pumpkin Spice: Shake a little pumpkin pie spice into the jar, for a sweetly-spiced drink you’ll crave.
  • Add Whip: Rinse the jar and shake a little bit of heavy cream for a minute, to create a luxurious dollop of whipped cream for your coffee.
