Sweltering heatwave mornings are now bearable, thanks to this simple Jamie Oliver iced coffee trick - effortlessly achievable!
In the heat of summer, there's nothing quite like a refreshing iced coffee to cool down. Molly Cleary, the Kitchen Appliances Editor, shares a unique hack to elevate your iced coffee game, using the Ninja Luxe Cafe Pro and other small appliances.
### The Perfect Iced Coffee Recipe
Here's a step-by-step guide to making your own frozen coffee cubes for an extra-special iced coffee:
#### Ingredients and Equipment: - Strong brewed coffee (use a good coffee machine to brew it) - Ice cube tray - Handheld milk frother (optional, for frothing milk or syrup) - Coffee syrup (optional, for flavoring)
#### Instructions:
1. **Brew Coffee:** - Use your coffee machine to brew a strong cup of coffee. Adjust the strength based on your preference for iced coffee.
2. **Prepare Coffee Cubes:** - Pour the brewed coffee into an ice cube tray. Fill each cube slot to the top. - Place the tray in the freezer until the coffee is fully frozen. This should take a few hours.
3. **Optional: Froth Milk or Syrup:** - If you want to add a flavored syrup to your coffee, use a handheld frother to mix it with a small amount of milk or cream. This step is optional but can add a fun twist to your coffee.
4. **Assemble the Iced Coffee:** - Once your coffee cubes are frozen, place a few in a glass. - Add cold milk or frothed milk on top. If using frothed milk, you can create a layer of foam for a more luxurious texture. - Optionally, add any flavored syrup or other toppings you like.
5. **Serve and Enjoy:** - Your iced coffee is now ready. You can enjoy it as is or add additional toppings like whipped cream or coffee beans.
### Tips and Recommendations: - **Use a good coffee machine** to ensure the coffee is strong and flavorful. - **Experiment with flavors** by adding syrups or using flavored coffee beans. - **Store the coffee cubes** in airtight containers or freezer bags to keep them fresh for longer. - Molly recommends the Frank Green cup from Amazon for keeping drinks cold for longer. - The frozen coffee cubes had a lovely glaze to them. - The Frank Green cup costs £34.95.
