How to make cold coffee at home?

Prepare the mix 

Take instant coffee, sugar and warm water in a bowl or blender jar. Blend or whisk the mixture for 1-2 minutes until it becomes slightly frothy. This step helps create that café-style texture.

Add milk and ice

Pour chilled milk into the blender along with ice cubes. If you prefer a creamy and thick texture, add a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Blend

Blend everything for around 30-40 seconds until the coffee becomes smooth and foamy. The more you blend, the frothier the cold coffee will turn out.

Decorate the glass

Drizzle chocolate syrup inside a tall glass for a café-like presentation. Pour the prepared cold coffee carefully.

Serve cold

Top it with some cocoa powder, chocolate shavings or whipped cream if desired. Serve chilled and enjoy your refreshing homemade cold coffee.

Bonus tip: 
Always use chilled milk for the best flavour and texture. Adding coffee ice cubes instead of regular ice prevents the drink from becoming watery. If you enjoy strong coffee, increase the coffee quantity slightly.
