I get asked a lot on Instagram how I make my coffee every single time I post a photo of it. I figured it would be easiest if I make a quick blog post about it so it’s always available for you to look back on! If you know me, you’d know that I have a huge obsession with iced coffee. I mean, I have practically made it my entire personality. I’ll drink iced coffee in the middle of winter and be perfectly happy while I shiver, taking tiny sips and enjoying every ounce. So, let’s break down how exactly I make my iced coffee at home.
What I Use For Coffee
I recently splurged and got myself the Nespresso Vertuo during black Friday and it was the best purchase I have made for myself. Before that, I was using a regular Keurig machine with the latté maker attachment. It was great but it didn’t make cold foam, so it was hard to make iced coffee with it. Now, I use the Nespresso pods and Aeroccino to make my drink.
My go-to espresso is the Melozio Decaffeinato. It makes 7.77 ounces which fits perfectly in my cup!
How I Make It
The first thing I do is add a Torani syrup of choice to the bottom of my coffee mug. Then, I’ll pour the espresso over it and stir. The reason I don’t pour the coffee into my glass cup already is that the sudden temperature change can cause the glass to break and I don’t feel like tempering my cup every morning.
Once I stir, I pour the coffee into my Hyperchiller while will actually make the coffee cold in less than 60 seconds! It’s a must-have for anyone who loves iced coffee but hates watered-down drinks.
While the coffee is cooling down, I’ll pour my creamer and milk of choice into the Aeroccino up to the max line. If you press the button and hold, you’ll turn on the cold foam feature—this will make your milk thick and creamy without the heat (perfect for an iced drink!).
As the foam is being made, I’ll add more syrup to the bottom of my glass cup and add a bunch of ice. Then, I’ll pour the coffee over that and finish it off by pouring the foam on top. A quick stir with my glass straw and it’s done!
It’s super easy and absolutely delicious! Also, if you love my cup, you get it here from Moon Tide Creations! Mine is custom-ordered, but she has so many adorable designs to choose from!
