How to Make a Blended Iced Coffee Drink<\/h2>\n

An iced coffee drink can be a delightful way to help you beat the summer heat. Traditionally, iced coffee is brewed hot and served over ice. Blended iced coffee, on the other hand, is a cold-based drink made with ice, fruit and coffee-flavored powders. This type of iced coffee is as refreshing and as flavorful as its hot-brewed counterpart and ready in a matter of minutes.<\/p>\n

A blended iced coffee drink consists of strong iced coffee, ice cream, cream and a variety of flavorings, such as nutmeg, cinnamon, vanilla and caramel. Coffee aficionados may use instant coffee or a freshly brewed, espresso-based or drip-brewed coffee for their drinks, depending on their preferred taste. Beginner baristas often find that using a good quality, instant coffee powder makes it easier to control their desired strength and sweetness. <\/p>\n

In terms of serving size, iced coffee drinks are typically much larger than a traditional cup of coffee, often 8 ounces or larger. This is a great way to enjoy a caffeine boost without the added stress of overindulging. If a strong coffee isn’t your cup of tea, an iced coffee made with an extra serving of cream and a few drops of syrup or sugar can still provide the desired pick-me-up. <\/p>\n

Ready to get started? Here are the steps you need to take to make your own delicious, blended iced coffee drink. First, combine the instant coffee powder and the liquid cream in a blender. Next, add the ice cream, ice cubes and your choice of flavorings. Once everything’s in the blender, mix at high speed for 20-25 seconds. Your drink should have a silky-smooth consistency and a light, frothy texture. Finally, pour into a tall glass, top with additional cream and a sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon.<\/p>\n
