How to make cold coffee, without ice cream

Cold coffee is an easy drink, treat for coffee lovers with simple ingredients available at home. No ice cream, quick video, stepwise photos.

Am not a big fan of coffee, except for this beverage. I am not sure when was the first time I had, but it must be after marriage at Chennai. As I love coffee bite I knew I would like this as well.

Flavor

As a hot drink, I don’t like to have coffee, I will taste anyhow. I love coffee flavor alone though I don't drink. It smells so heavenly, so I love to prepare coffee. I love all coffee flavored desserts like coffee flavored cake, candy, toffee (coffee bite), or any drink.

I am big fan of my mom’s and MIL’s coffee flavor. Even while they make the coffee, it smells so sweet. I would say till date, my mom’s and MIL’s coffee tastes best and haven’t tasted anything better than that so far.

❤ for coffee

To be more specific, I loved coffee more after marriage as I started giving importance to learn how to prepare it. As Vj is used to take coffee every morning, I always wanted to recreate my MIL’s coffee.

Initially when I moved here to Singapore, I would almost forget to make decoction and make it only after attending Aj. Slowly I started loving the process of making coffee, like an art.

Every time I make coffee, I would taste it to see if it is like my MIL’s coffee. I used to ask Vj. I have come a long way in making coffee, still I would love to prepare it with fresh cow’s milk or at least aavin milk and see how it turns out.

Brewing coffee

For this recipe I have used fresh brewed coffee. I brew the south Indian filter coffee freshly every day for Vj's coffee fix. Yes, every single day. At days, two times a day. So I can confidently say I got a hold on it.

Check out my filter coffee post (with video) to see how to prepare fresh coffee (decoction).

Restaurant style

Iced coffee is a term, cold coffee is an emotion ❤ This is always there in most of the restaurants and cafe in India. Else where it is iced coffee. Iced coffee is just coffee with milk poured over ice.

Cold coffee is creamy, rich, mostly served with a drizzle of chocolate syrup in the serving glass, topped with a scoop of ice cream. It smells so pleasant and perfect blend of flavors, taste.

Top tip

If you do not have fresh brew, you can use instant as well. Just dissolve 2 teaspoon of instant coffee in 1 tablespoon hot water.

You can also use leftover brew collected over time. Pour into an ice cube tray and freeze. Use it as Ice cubes in cold coffee.

Coffee and sugar can be added according to your preference. Some like slight bitter, some like on sweeter side. So adjust according to your taste preference. If the coffee is too bitter, add more sugar and milk. If too sweet, milk and decoction.

I have used powdered sugar, you can use a simple syrup too.

Notes

• Ice cubes added while blending helps in giving you a frothy rich top over the cold coffee.
• You can add some whipping cream in the coffee while blending itself for rich taste.
• Never use granulated sugar as it will not be dissolved in the coffee.
• You can boil milk and add sugar to it, dissolve and cool it. I used raw milk. If fresh cow’s milk, better to boil and use.
