This iced coffee at home is a simple, easy, and quick recipe to always enjoy on hot summer days. It is a budget-friendly drink with a pleasant aroma. I didn’t think I could love a cold coffee taste when I was first introduced to iced coffee. Nonetheless, I liked it and have tried it at home many times, since then. The idea here is mixing it with delicious and sweet flavors to make it lingering and tasty. My family is all addicted to coffee, so this is the point I like different tastes and flavors. The aroma of the roasting qualitative beans in the coffee machine is simply irresistible. I adore waking up with this aroma in my kitchen, especially when my husband makes it for me.

Tips to enhance the process of making this iced coffee recipe:
- Consume this iced coffee immediately. The ice cubes melt after a few minutes, and it can make the coffee watery.
- I have used a strong espresso machine coffee. You can use long coffee if you don’t want it that strong.
- Once the coffee and the condensed milk meet, but you don’t want to serve it immediately, store it in the fridge to avoid a lid.
This best iced coffee will be a nice counterpart to my favorite drinks, like Christmas Punch or The Best Red Sangria.
FAQ’s
Can I use regular coffee instead of espresso?
Yes, you can use regular coffee instead of espresso. But make it strong or use double the coffee grounds.
Do I need to cool the espresso before pouring it over ice?
No, you don’t need to cool the espresso before pouring it over ice. Pouring hot espresso over ice chills quickly and melts slightly for dilution, which balances the strength.
Is this drink high in sugar?
Yes, this iced coffee is a little high in sugar as it contains sweetened condensed milk. So reduce the quantity or choose sugar-free alternatives if desired. You can also add ordinary dairy, maple syrup or brandy.
