Refreshing Coffee Drinks to Beat the Summer Heat
When temperatures rise, iced coffee beverages can be a cooling and energizing way to get your caffeine fix. These 3 coffee creations are perfect for summer sipping and highlight delicious flavours.
Iced Latte
A chilled latte combines refreshing milk with rich, bold espresso. The key is using cold dairy to prevent the espresso from warming up. Make a batch of espresso, let it chill, then pour over ice and milk. Add flavoured syrups like vanilla or hazelnut to enhance the iced latte. Top with chocolate powder or cocoa nibs for extra decadence.
Cold Brew Coffee
Cold brew is made by steeping coarse coffee grounds in room temperature or cold water for 12-24 hours, then filtering. This long process yields a smooth coffee concentrate with lower acidity. Dilute cold brew concentrate with water or milk over ice for an ultra-refreshing iced coffee. Add ice cream for a creamy, dreamy cold brew float.
Mocha Frappe
For chocolate lovers, blend up this indulgent mocha frappe. Combine cold brew coffee, chocolate syrup, ice cubes, and milk in a blender. Top with whipped cream and chocolate shavings for a frosty, chocolatey coffee respite from the summer swelter. Adjust the milk and syrup to your preferred sweetness.
Coffee doesn't just have to be hot. Iced coffee drinks showcase summer flavours like vanilla, chocolate, and caramel. With cold brew and an espresso machine, you can beat the heat with coffeehouse-quality frozen coffee beverages.
