Iced Coffee with Cream Froth: The Coolest Pick-Me-Up
Let’s be honest—some days, regular coffee just won’t cut it. You need something cold, creamy, and fancy enough to make you feel like a barista without requiring an actual coffee degree.
Enter iced coffee with cream froth. It’s smooth, refreshing, and has a frothy top that makes every sip feel special. Plus, it’s ridiculously easy to make.
What Is Iced Coffee with Cream Froth?
This drink is a simple yet luxurious twist on iced coffee. It combines chilled coffee with a rich, whipped cream topping. The contrast between the bold coffee and the airy froth makes it a treat for your taste buds. Think of it as the love child of a latte and an iced coffee—minus the fancy coffee shop prices.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of brewed coffee (cooled)
- 1/2 cup of milk or cream
- 1 tbsp sugar or sweetener (optional)
- Ice cubes
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract (optional, but worth it)
- Whipped cream for frothing
Instructions:
- Brew and Cool the Coffee – Make a strong cup of coffee and let it chill in the fridge. Hot coffee plus ice equals sad, watered-down coffee, and we don’t want that.
- Fill the Glass – Add ice cubes to a tall glass, then pour in the cooled coffee. Sweeten if needed.
- Make the Cream Froth – In a small bowl, whisk the cream (or use a milk frother) until it’s light and airy. Add a drop of vanilla if you want extra flavor.
- Top and Enjoy – Spoon the frothy cream on top of your iced coffee. Take a moment to admire your work. Then, stir it in or sip as is for a creamy coffee delight.
Pro Tips:
- Use cold brew coffee for a smoother taste.
- Heavy cream creates a richer froth, but milk works too.
- For an extra fancy touch, sprinkle cocoa powder or cinnamon on top.
There you have it—a café-style iced coffee at home, minus the long lines and overpriced drinks. Now, go enjoy your masterpiece and pretend you’re in a trendy coffee shop (pajamas allowed).
