Coffee: for this recipe, I use instant coffee but you can also use espresso shot or even filter coffee decoction. If using coffee decoction, use 1/4 cup of it. The taste of your cold coffee will depend on the coffee that you use so make sure to use a coffee that you like.

Milk: full fat whole milk makes a creamy thick coffee but you can use any milk you like. Using skim milk will make it little diluted. You can also use non-dairy milk options like almond milk, oat milk.

Sugar: to sweeten the cold coffee, I have used white sugar. But you can use other sweeteners of choice.
Step by Step Instructions

1- Heat up 1/4 cup milk in a pan or microwave. Add instant 1 & 1/2 to 2 tablespoons instant coffee to it. You can adjust the amount of coffee powder to taste and how strong coffee you prefer.

2- Add in 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste). You can add more or less depending on the sweetness you prefer.

3- Using a spoon or whisk, mix everything together. Since the milk is hot, the coffee and sugar will dissolve easily.

4- Your sweet coffee mix is now ready to be added to the blender. You can also straight away use 1/4 cup of a strong filter coffee decoction or espresso shot.

5- To your blender, now add 2 cups chilled milk. I have used whole milk here. Also add 3 to 4 ice cubes (optional).

6- Add the prepared coffee-sugar mix into the blender. At this point, you can use add vanilla ice cream if you want.

7- Close the lid and blend for few seconds until everything is mixed together and the coffee is frothy.

8- Transfer to glasses and serve immediately. You can pour some chocolate syrup in the glasses and chill for 15 minutes before pouring the coffee in glasses. The foam will settle down after a while so this is best enjoyed immediately especially if you like frothy coffee.
