I will quit coffee, right after I make this easy no sugar iced latte today. I promise.
She said every day for the last 3 years. Or weeks. Who’s counting?
I decided to move on from my cappuccino for the summer and switched to this cold, tasty iced coffee. And now I’m addicted. If coffee had any nutritional value, I would probably be having it all day every day. Nothing else.
The fact that it has two ingredients – coffee and milk, and I can make it in 5 minutes is not stopping me. Now if it was a green smoothie, which doesn’t take much longer…I’d find an excuse. But, I’m committed to coffee.
It’s decaf, okay. And no sugar. So how good can it be?
It’s very good, I’m telling you. It’s creamy, it’s cold and it has coffee in it. I am not a huge fan of the combo of coffee and sugar, so I make mine without anything sweet in it.
But when you make the iced latte, you can add sugar or other sweeteners and even natural flavors like cinnamon or vanilla. I’d start with 1/2 tsp of dark brown sugar (or maple syrup or whatever sweet things you have), taste test and then adjust to the sweetness I like.
Basically, you need to make a coffee, blend the milk, then add more ice to the coffee and finally put it all together. If you’re adding sugar or flavor, add it to the milk before blending.
You can also make this with instant coffee. I like my coffee to taste like coffee, not milk, so I add about a tbsp with about 1/4 cup water. With the instant coffee version, everything goes into the blender and then you add the ice.
Hope you enjoy the iced coffee, here’s the recipe:
