Variations You Can Try
Want to mix things up? Try these creative twists:
1. Chocolate Cold Coffee with Ice Cream
- Add 1 tbsp of cocoa powder or chocolate syrup while blending. Great for chocolate lovers!
2. Mocha Cold Coffee
- Blend in a piece of dark chocolate or a splash of chocolate milk. Tastes like a dessert drink!
3. Caramel Coffee Delight
- Use caramel syrup instead of chocolate. Drizzle more on top for a rich, golden touch.
4. Vegan Cold Coffee
- Use plant-based milk (almond, oat, or soy) and dairy-free ice cream. Equally delicious!
Tips to Make It Better
Use cold milk and water so the coffee stays chilled.
If you don’t want it too sweet, reduce the sugar or skip chocolate syrup.
Want it thicker? Add more ice cream.
Blend it well to get that frothy top like in cafés.
