Healthy iced coffee made with cold (leftover) coffee, almond milk and without any added sugar. On a hot summer day, this glass of iced coffee will satisfy your late afternoon sweet tooth craving. Much cheaper and healthier than Starbucks and is so darn easy to make at home.
If you brew coffee at home, do not discard any leftovers. Refrigerate for up to 2 days and make iced coffee. Of course, quality of coffee beans matters and better the coffee grounds, the tastier the end result. We usually buy organic coffee beans and grind them once a week. I can’t recommend you one particular brand because there are just so many and selection varies by location. So, just use the coffee you normally drink.
4 Ways to Customize Your Healthy Iced Coffee:
1. Use any milk: dairy, almond, coconut, rice, soy or hemp milk. My latest obsession is Califia Farms, so tasty!
2. Add cinnamon, nutmeg or more (skip) vanilla extract.
3. Add maple syrup to taste if you are craving a tad of sweetness.
4. Change the ratio of coffee : milk. 50:50, 30:70 or whatever you want.
Enjoy this healthy iced coffee, and next hot summer day try my healthy frappuccino recipe or lime iced tea. You will love both of them!
