15 Iced Coffee Recipes That Are Well Worth Waking Up For
1. Vietnamese Iced Coffee
This ultra-rich sipper will only take you five minutes to make, thanks to the star ingredient being canned sweetened condensed milk.
2. Coconut Iced Coffee With Mini Chocolate-glazed Coffee Doughnuts
You could pass on the doughnuts, but why would you want to? Don't skip the coffee ice cubes either—they'll keep your bev from becoming diluted.
3. Vanilla Bean Iced Coffee
Complete with chocolate coffee ice cubes. All its sweetness lies in the vanilla bean coconut milk, which is briefly simmered and steeped on the stove for maximum flavor.
4. Homemade Cold Brew Coffee
5. Iced Whiskey Coffees With Whiskey Syrup And Whipped Cream
Lazy Sundays call for boozy java. These brown sugar-spiked drinks are just the starter for your next fancy brunch.
6. S'mores Iced Coffee
The coffee is poured right on top of gooey Marshmallow Fluff, graham crackers and chocolate sauce for this summer-inspired sipper.
7. Keto Iced Coffee
Drinking coffee black isn't for everyone—even if you're on a low-sugar or low-carb diet. Luckily, sugar-free flavor syrups exist. Now, choose your fighter: vanilla or hazelnut?
8. Cold Brew Caramel Frappuccino
Despite its uncanny appearance and taste, this bev is sweetened with a secret ingredient that Starbucks doesn't use: dates.
9. Long Island Iced Coffee
10. Perfect Iced Coffee
11. Fresh Mint Iced Coffee
Don't knock it 'til you try it. Think of it as a peppermint mocha without the chocolate (although a drizzle of chocolate syrup here certainly wouldn't hurt).
12. Creamy Boozy Iced Coffee
Frangelico is a liqueur crafted from toasted hazelnuts, so it's no surprise that it tastes straight-up divine in iced coffee. Bonus points for topping it with whipped cream and chocolate shavings.
13. Vanilla Chai Pumpkin Cream Cold Brew
A spoonful of canned pumpkin purée goes a long way in this autumn bev. The vanilla chai syrup would also taste delicious in tea or apple cider.
14. Baileys Coffee Granita
On a hot summer day, this frosty treat will refresh you a million times more than your usual iced coffee. Freeze the granita overnight, so you can simply scrape and enjoy in the morning without too much waiting.
