For many of you reading my blogs, and many more that are not, coffee is a very special and important part of the daily life. From that first kick in the morning, to the extra power in the afternoon, coffee is with us everywhere: coffee break at work, coffee with a friend, coffee with a book, you get the drift.
But day after day, drinking the same coffee over and over again can get somehow boring. And believe me, I don’t want my coffee to be boring, ever.
Especially in these hot summer days, I’m looking for inspiration mostly for iced coffee recipes, because I know it can be so versatile, so I can have at least one or two new coffee drinks a week.
And, some time ago, I came to this account on Instagram @drink_alt, which is all about different kinds of drinks and picked out the Iced Minty Coffee Drink to make today.
I have to say, I’m impressed.
And the process and ingredients are so simple, it makes me wonder why I didn’t think of that first?
Here is how I made my own Iced Mint Coffee and now you can do it, too.
Iced Coffee With A Minty Twist
INGREDIENTS
- 1 cup brewed coffee ( any coffee will do, chilled or at room temperature)
- Mint leaves attached to stems (around 10 leaves)
- Ice cubes
- Sugar or sweetener to taste (if you opt for it, I skipped this step)
- 100ml milk of your choice
DIRECTIONS
STEP #1 BREW YOUR COFFEE
You can use a coffee of your choice. It can be a double shot of espresso, cold brew, even instant coffee will do. Let it cool down until it’s room temperature.
STEP#2 PREPARE A TALL/WIDE GLASS
Fill the glass with ice cubes, in between put some of the mint leaves, and sweetener if you choose to.
STEP #3 PUT EVERYTHING TOGETHER
You can choose to put milk or coffee first. I poured the coffee first. If you use sweetener, mix it with a spoon in order for the sweetener to dissolve. When you are ready, pour the milk and decorate with mint leaves.
Black coffee, like Americano, also tastes great with mint ( I tried that version, too ).
And voila!
You have a perfect refreshing summer drink that doesn’t only tastes and feels great, it will make you a perfect shot for Instagram.
I hope you’ll make this drink and love it like I do.
It doesn’t take more time than your regular coffee, yet you have a new coffee drink to break the routine.
If you make it, please share your photos on Instagram with us, I’d love to see your creation.
