Equipment

• 1 Jar with lid or shaker (for mixing)
• 1 Tall glass
• 1 Spoon

Ingredients

• 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules
• 3 tablespoons hot water
• 1 teaspoon sugar (or to taste)
• 1 cup ice cubes
• ¾ cup cold milk (6 fluid ounces)

Instructions

1. Dissolve the coffee: In a jar or shaker, combine the instant coffee, hot water, and sugar. Stir or seal and shake vigorously until the coffee and sugar are fully dissolved and the mixture is frothy.
2. Prepare the glass: Fill a tall glass with the ice cubes.
3. Mix with ice: Pour the hot coffee mixture over the ice. The ice will cool the coffee quickly.
4. Add milk: Pour in the cold milk. Stir gently to combine everything. Serve immediately with a straw, if desired.

Notes

• Start with strong coffee and let it cool completely to avoid diluting the drink​. This icy beverage is perfect for a hot day when you need a quick caffeine boost. You can adjust the sweetness or milk amount to your preference – try flavored creamers or a dash of vanilla for a different twist. Enjoy your iced coffee as a delicious pick-me-up any time of day!
