Description
A quick and refreshing iced espresso drink.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 ounces freshly brewed espresso
- 2 teaspoons sugar (to taste, optional)
- 3 ice cubes
- scant 1/4 cup cold water
- optional milk (whole milk, low fat, or unflavored plant-based)
Instructions
- Shake. Pour the espresso into a cocktail shaker or a Mason jar with a tight-fitting lid. Add sugar to taste (if using, about 2 teaspoons for medium sweetness). Add three ice cubes, cover, and seal. Shake until the ice has mostly melted and the coffee is cold and frothy.
- Dilute. Fill a tall, thin glass with ice, pour over the coffee, and add the cold water.
- Optional: Add a dash of milk on top. Do not stir, or you will lose some of the froth.
- Enjoy! Serve immediately with a straw. Sip leisurely.
Notes
- Adjust sugar to your desired sweetness.
- Make sure to shake well for a frothy texture.
