Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 cup Cold Brew Coffee, strongly brewed (or cold coffee or shot of espresso)
- 2 tbsp Sweetener (sugar, brown sugar, honey, maple syrup, coconut sugar, or scaled-down sugar alternative)
- ½ cup Milk or Non-Dairy Alternative
- 1 cup Ice Cubes (for more coffee flavor, use coffee ice cubes)
- Splash of Vanilla Extract (optional)
Instructions
- Stir sugar and coffee until dissolved.
- Pour coffee mixture, milk, ice cubes, and vanilla (if using) into blender.
- Blend on high (or "frozen treat" setting) until mixture reaches a slush-like consistency. You may need to stop and stir the mixture a few times to ensure all the ice is blended smoothly.
- Pour into glass and serve immediately.
Notes
This recipe easily scales up or down to make it for a crowd or just for one.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients and amounts to suit your own preferences. Use our homemade vanilla syrup or pumpkin spice syrup in place of regular sugar. Add homemade chocolate syrup to make it a mocha. Garnish with caramel whipped cream for an indulgent treat!
Personally, I like using Trader Joe's Cold Brew Concentrate or The Fresh Market's Low-Acid Coffee, almond milk, and 1/2 tsp Monk Fruit Sweetener. It makes for a slightly sweet, low-calorie treat!
