Iced Mexican Coffee: A Cool Kick with a Cinnamon Twist
If your coffee routine feels as exciting as watching paint dry, it’s time to shake things up. Iced Mexican Coffee is here to rescue your taste buds. This drink is bold, sweet, and just spicy enough to keep things interesting. Think of it as a fiesta in a glass—minus the awkward dancing.
What Is Iced Mexican Coffee?
Iced Mexican Coffee is a chilled coffee drink with cinnamon, vanilla, and a touch of spice. It blends strong coffee with milk, sugar, and a hint of cayenne or chili powder. The result? A refreshing drink with a little heat. It’s like your morning coffee and dessert had a delicious baby.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup brewed coffee (strong and bold)
- 1/2 cup milk (any kind—dairy or plant-based)
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar (or sweetener of choice)
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional but highly recommended!)
- Ice cubes
- Whipped cream (optional but amazing)
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (for extra flair)
Instructions:
- Brew the Coffee: Make a strong cup of coffee. Let it cool to room temperature or stick it in the fridge if you’re impatient.
- Mix the Magic: In a glass, stir together the coffee, milk, brown sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and cayenne pepper (if using). Mix until everything dissolves.
- Ice, Ice, Baby: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes and pour the coffee mixture over it.
- Top It Off: Add whipped cream on top for a fancy touch. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings or a dusting of cocoa powder.
- Sip & Enjoy: Give it a stir and take a sip. It’s cool, spicy, and sweet—all in one.
Tips for the Best Iced Mexican Coffee:
- Stronger Coffee = Better Flavor: Cold drinks mute flavors, so go bold with your brew.
- Sweetness is Personal: Adjust the sugar to your taste. More sugar makes it dessert-like, less keeps it more coffee-forward.
- Make It Boozy: A splash of Kahlúa or tequila turns this into a party drink.
- Spice Level: The cayenne adds a tiny kick, but you can skip it if you fear spice—or add more if you like adventure.
