Iced coffee, the perfect cold coffee recipe for summer

Iced coffee is a refreshing coffee drink, easy and quick to prepare, great in summer at any time of the day. A drink that certainly captivates those who love coffee and can’t start the day without a good cup of espresso. Fresh and delicious, it is definitely perfect for the summer season either for an unusual breakfast or to savor at other times. We only need 3 ingredients: the first, of course, is coffee. We prefer moka espresso coffee, but it can be made with capsule machines, pods, or instant coffee. The second ingredient is milk, and here we can choose what we prefer. Finally, ice, a lot or a little depending on how iced we want it. A fourth ingredient can be a sweetener that we can add or not depending on our taste.

To make it, pour the coffee into a glass, add ice and milk, and it’s ready.

The ideal is to consume it immediately since the preparation takes less than 5 minutes. You can of course prepare the coffee in advance and let it cool or pour it into ice cube trays to get coffee ice, which will be perfect for this recipe.
